One very sick little girl who needs to be held all day added to fitting in exercising and management of another newborn equals a gigantic challenge.
Nora Lea cried and cried with her 103° fever and James and I had lots of hushed conversations about the emergency room. Thankfully her fever broke just as my head filled with snot and my joints started aching.
(I got my exercises in by then too.)
James sleeps to make up for his night of crying babies.
Nora Lea is almost back to her old self -- a little warmer, a little spacier.
Dottie sleeps right now too.
I washed and weighed and cut up a bunch of little fruit cups to grab as snacks in-between nursing and working and oh, every little task that goes with new mom-ness.
Time to update my foods from yesterday:
Breakfast - 170 g broccoli, 2 pancakes (at 120g) (no syrup or butter! new to me!), one egg, 250ml milk in my decaf
Snack - 140g pineapple
Lunch - 180g whole wheat pasta, 180g steamed asparagus, 130g chicken breast
Snack - 140g pineapple
Dinner (8:00pm, shoved in my mouth with exhaustion) - 65g whole seed bread (2 slices), 100g chicken breast, 170g sandwich vegetables and fennel salad (tomato, lettuce, onion, fennel tossed with 1/2 tsp squeezed tangerine)
I slept through nighttime snack.
Exercise:
Done, but whoo, am I sore.
When I did this kind of training with a personal trainer, it was much easier to summon the motivation to do my less-favorite exercises. ("Go Helen Jane! Remember what you want!) It's much tougher to rally with kids and husband and life swirling around. That said, it's also all the more satisfying when I end up finishing.
