Yesterday was the Tour de Cure! This is the 5th year I've done it!!! I had signed up for the 5k while I was still preggers, and even before I went into preterm labor! I had really hoped to take Mason but I just couldn't justify it since he had a little stuffy nose. But that's OK. He got to have a day bonding with dad and I got to go hang out with my mom! So here's a little pic from my first event post baby!!!!! Woot Woot!!!
That being said, I missed the shit out of my boy!!!!! It's tough being away for that long. I assume it gets better and easier...but it's still pretty early for me. I want to get back to painting and tattooing but I can't even fathom being away so much! When I got home, I stole Mason for the the rest of the night and snuggled the little man!!!
Mason is starting to be more expressive now! It's fun to watch him when he gets like this. He's also slowly starting to make a few other sounds here and there that aren't cries or sounds of distress. I love it so much! And he's getting so big!!! I can't wait to see how much he's grown at his next appointment. Although, I think he starts some of his vaccinations next time. I heard those appointments can be hard for everyone involved. (P.s. please, no vaccination arguments or debates! You don't have to agree with our decision to vaccinate, just as I don't have to agree with yours not to. But please be respectful in keeping the negative comments to yourself!) That being said, here is little man just chillin'!
Today, I ran 2 miles. I started by trying to do a modified version of the 15 5's. That's when you do 15 pushups, 15 tuck ins, 15 dips, 15 floor kicks, and 15 pull ups. Then your start over with 14, then 13...all the way down to 1. (If any of you try this workout, let me know!!!) I started doing a modified version of it, but my hands!!!!! I thought hard about how this carpal tunnel would affect work but I never considered how it would affect my workouts! Eeesh! So I didn't make it very far on that workout. So I cried tears of massive frustration, then changed into my running stuff and went for a run!
I was super proud to have made it 2 miles but, damn! It hurts !y ego a little bit to be this out of shape! Yes, I know I just had a baby and it's pretty good considering I'm just shy of 7 weeks out of a cesarean... But I'm still allowed to be frustrated. Its not going to make me quit or anything. It still just sucks. I'll get my strength back eventually.
Speaking of strength, this week, I'm reintroducing lifting. I just did bi's and tri's! Tomorrow, I'm taking a rest day. Gotta remember those rest days!!!! Had another comment from someone telling me to "ease back into it." I know already! CRIPES!!!! I thought I would share my accomplishment of running 2 miles but apparently, I'm rushing into it. FFS, unless you are my doctor or Aprill (who also happens to be a personal trainer and educated in these sorts of things), shut your pie hole. If you have something positive and/or encouraging to say, then yes, let me have it. I need that right now!
Phew! That sure pisses me off!! Lol! Perhaps I just need to keep my workout stuff here and off FB. Not very many people follow my blog anymore so there's less of a chance of the annoying comments!
Well, that's all I got for now! I'm gonna go snuggle my boy for a while! Tomorrow is a chill day. Perhaps some vid games and some hangouts with my boys!!!! Peace!!!!
