The last trimester

Wow...The third trimester was rough...

That's not fair, it was just busy and I was a little run down.   Overall my pregnancy was very smooth.  Most of my complaints were related more to the weight I gained than anything else.  At the end of the day I had a lot of swelling and gained almost 56 pounds so of course I was uncomfortable! But I was growing a human life and it was worth it.  By the time I left the hospital I had already lost 23 of the 56 pounds so I have no doubt that a lot of it was water weight from the swelling, (especially what I gained at the end) and at 6 weeks pp I have lost 42 pounds.
Last week I was released by my doctor to workout so my dear sweet husband registred me for a Halloween 10k - So I am training for it with a jogging stroller, my goal is to finish in less than 2 hours because pushing a jogging stroller is hard work - Right now I am at 3 miles @ a 20 minute pace i.e. walking not at all fast.   I am also starting to track my food.  I have been able to breast feed fairly well so far so I'm not focused on cutting calories at this point but want to make sure I'm making good food choices and working out enough to see some progress in my overall fitness. 

I will share more about the 3rd trimester soon and will probably share my delivery story once I feel up to it - it was more eventful than I would have liked but both me and baby are healthy and that is all that matters.
