it's 15-20 mins of dancing, stretching, crunches, and push-ups. usually supergirl dances with me.... or sits on my tummy as i do crunches. it's only been a week, but superman says i look 'tighter.' lol. i have a good 10 lbs to drop! it acutally feels good to sweat. =)
anyway, all this weight gain; i just haven't felt like going out... nothing seems to fit well! it's a terrible feeling. i wish i took better care of myself when i was thinner! i just took it for granted. when supergirl was 6 months old, hmm.. about a year ago, i weighed 10 lbs less than i do now. =(
all these hormones kicking in and my insatiable sweet tooth. though, i've been able to quit lots of snacks cold turkey by now. not fun.
wish me luck!

weight gain
it's been about 2 months since i've stopped nursing supergirl. (i still miss it at times!) she's so darling, she still likes to snuggle into my chest sometimes, haha which can be kinda cute and kinda weird.
i've gained so much weight since then!! a lot. it's seems all the fats' gone to my tummy, thighs, butt, and arms. my arms are sosoosososossoososo flabby. i've never been this out of shape or overweight, i felt thinner and more in shape when i was pregnant! it's all flabby now. and what surprises superman and i is how suddenly and how fast my body just morphed.
i dropped all my pregnancy weight around 6 months after giving birth to supergirl. i was so proud and pleasantly surprised. now i believe it was just do to lack of sleep and the constant nursing perhaps. my tummy was so flat, arms were thin, and no weight gain on my hips at all!! i couldn't believe it. i ate chocolate, lots of suger (maybe cuz i needed energy really badly), and whatever i wanted.
then... my period returned when supergirl was 8 months. i did start to gain a little weight then, thanks to my hormones and pmsing, and my skin started to break out. boo hoo. i suppose i should have been more careful about what i ate and worked out, but i didn't.
so by the time supergirl was 15 months, my skin was wrecked. it doesn't help that i like to 'pick.' such a bad habit which i do enjoy though! anyhow, and now... at 17 months, hahahahaha i am overweight!! i would say a good 10 lbs packed on since 16 months. i blame it all on myself and my inability to stop drinking sugary drinks and sugary snacks!!!!!!
i've since started a new beauty regimen last month, and my skin is definitely clearing up. and somehow i've refrained from picking at my zits. i was just conversing with my sister and totally realized that 8 out of 10 pimples i have were do to my own picking! if i feel a bump and i just had to pick at it and it get's infected since i've not gentle to my skin, i pretty much squeeze until my a layer of my skin comes off! =( bad bad habit. but yes, i seem to be doing ok in not doing that for now.
and i've swore off sugary drinks=== sort of. i was obessess with 'izze' (carbonated juice) for a while and it's 120 calories a pop, i can down more than one a day! and sugar flavored tea. i've since cut down, but am a bit addicted to real honey lemonade. and yes i do know honey is sugar, but it has to be better than white cane sugar right?! here's to hoping.
and i've stopped chowing down on chocolate, but have picked up on chips. i've been weighing it out, salty better than sugary?
anyway, i'm just happy my skin is recovering, i really really need to take care of my body though. i feel like i'm just wrecking myself. i can't get myself to workout. i'm not a lazy person, supergirl keeps me plenty busy and we are active!! we go out walking almost everyday........ but i just can't seem to want to do any cardio, at all.
and i still don't like to sleep. and i don't get good quality sleep.
i'm a heavy dreamer. and serious dreamer. when i sleep, it's like i am living in another place.
so i never feel fully rested--- never.
i can remember people i meet in my dreams, read in dreams, memorize numbers in my dreams. yeah it's pretty crazy. so i wake up darn exhausted. =(

Like a Tree
You are like a Tree – Like a mighty oak, people who fall into the Tree category tend to be down-to-earth, with strong roots that provide strength to stand up to life’s daily challenges, and long branches to nurture those you care about. But like a tree’s leaves changing in the fall, you might find that your moods change when life’s challenges occasionally overwhelm you.
