Great Thanksgiving Weekend

We spent Thanksgiving at my parents’ house.  Deanna was very good on the drive down and back home.  She only woke up to eat   It was nice and relaxing to have help with Deanna.  Ben and I were able to relax while my parents and brother spent time with her.  Ben, my brother, and I went to Texas de Brazil in Miami for dinner one night.  It was nice to get out of the house without the baby.  But I have to admit, I missed Deanna a TON while we were out.

Ben and I also had a little date night.  We went and saw The Blind Side.  It was a really, really good movie.  It is probably one of my favorite movies of the year.

Now, it’s time for Saints v Patriots!

Getting back in shape

So it’s been 6 weeks since Deanna was born.  I’ve lost more than 30 pounds, back to my pre-pregnancy weight.  I haven’t exercised at all since August.  When I say exercised…that means walking on the treadmill at a speed of 2.2

Last Friday, my midwife gave me the “OK” to start working out again, but of course to take it slow.  I’m trying out Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.  I would go to the gym, but by the end of the day, I have no energy to do anything.  So I figured doing this workout dvd during the day will be better.  The dvd is pretty good so far.  It’s an intense workout.  I had to take several rests since my body was not used to anything physical in a looonng time.

I’m planning on doing a 5k in the spring.  It helps me to have something to work up towards and makes working out easier.  Wish me luck!!

Birthday

It’s my birthday today!!  I turned 24 today.  Whew…I’m getting old
