chubby

so elenora and i are both getting a bit chubby. good for her...not so good for me. all of this cold, snowy weather has moved our activities inside for all but a few days over the past couple months. it's been difficult for me to sneak away to the gym at night, and there's just no time during the day. my psyche is taking a turn for the worse. i'll be so happy when the weather is at least tolerable for a baby to be bundled and strollered in. i have big plans of jogging outside with her in the mornings.

i like working out before evening. that way it's out of the way and i can just relax all night. i used to work out every day at work during my lunch break. but my days are too full now and there's no one to watch elenora, and then i put her to bed and it's time to make dinner and then i'm full and need to digest and then it's late and the good tv programs are coming on and i just want to relax since i've been up since six in the morning. and then also, many nights j. either has a basketball game or orchestra rehearsal, so i'm really stuck at home and can't go anywhere.

frustrating. i was so fit throughout the pregnancy and dropped weight pretty quickly right afterwards. it's hard to find myself gaining weight now. if i can just hold on to my self-like for another few weeks i will be able to get outside...meanwhile, i guess i'll try to be better about getting out the body ball, yoga tapes, and three pound weights.

here's some video of elenora playing yesterday. just so darned cute.
