Here we go again!

Progress continues on the post-baby-get-in-shape front:

Weight: 149.0 (Throw a party, I’m back under 150!)
Hips: 42.75
Bust: 40.0
Waist: 30.0

Yee-haw! I’m still not quite back into pre-pregnancy jeans…BUT…I can zip and button them! They still just (IMO) are a bit too tight to look great.

So, since October 11 when I started, I’m down 21 pounds. Since before I had Maya? 46 pounds! Not bad for a chick who gained 55-60 pounds during pregnancy. The only way I kept myself from freaking out as I watched the numbers climb into the 190s was reminding myself that I know how to be fit, damnit, and I WILL do it.

Now if all this snow would just melt so I could get back out for a hike again…guess we’ll stick with the paved pathways today.

It’s been one of “those days” … you know, the ones that require my full attention.

I’ve been meaning to clip Little Miss’ nails so she doesn’t claw herself, and now seemed as good a time as any, since that at least qualified to Maya as my full attention. Snip, snip, snip…good, good, good.

Hold on, Maya…just one more to go.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I’m not sure if she moved, or if my aim was bad, but I got her thumb. It bled. She cried. I cried.

I know these things happen - a friend told me of pinning her daughter’s diaper THROUGH her skin, and that girl’s turned out to be a beautiful and sweet girl. I KNOW that the trauma is a transient thing. Just the same, I felt like crap.

She’s sleeping now, so I’ve got to get back to work while it lasts.

…real friends don’t mind if you chew on their ears.
