I just realized today that I have not blogged in quite some time. Almost a month! This is ridiculous! What has been going on in the life of Caitloin Steak? Let me think...not much! The last two weeks I have been on a massive exercise kick. Let me define massive.... I am 23 years old and I hate to exercise. My freshman year in college I gained some weight so I went on a exercise bender for a month or so and lost the extra lbs. That is the extent of my exercising. After I had Axton it was the middle of winter so I didn't do much to try to lose the baby weight. In fact I did nothing. I was not pleased with my bod thats for sure..but I knew Cody and I were going to be trying for another baybay so it would be dumb to lose the weight just to gain it right back. Since we are not having another baby for a looooooooong time if ever..I have kicked it in high gear and I am ready to get back to the way I was before I was ever pregnant. (Minus the wide hips that won't go away..which I'm actually not bothered by my new curvaciousness) Each morning after Axton is awake and has breakfast and after Zaidyn eats we go for a nice loooooong walk. Honestly pushing the double stroller with Axton and Zaidyn in the car seat is rough stuff. My first time out I got like 2 blocks and I was like what the h? TURN AROUND! We walk for a good hour and a half now. Zaidyn sleeps through the whole thing and Axton just loves pointing to things and having me tell him what it is, which is super fun. Walking first thing in the morning has given me a lot more energy through out the day! Once I get home if the kiddos allow I do little work outs to help my oh so desperate stomach region. I have been trying to eat a lot better, but I have such a stinking sweet tooth. Besides the NEED to have something sweet after dinner, I have been doing surprising really well. So with the exercise, slightly watching what I am eating, and breastfeeding...the weight is coming off quite nicely and it's only been 2 weeks. Beginning of this I took a picture which I SO am not going to share until I have a fan-tas-tic after picture. I had a pair of jean capris that I aimed for my first goal of fitting into since I was wearing them right before I found out I was pregnant with Zaidyn. 2 weeks ago I couldn't get them buttoned and today I am wearing them :) It feels good to be getting results! I have NO motivation what so ever when it comes to exercising but I am SO ready to not be ashamed of my body anymore. Stretch marks will never go away but I'm over it. I just want to feel good about myself again. I'm not doing a lot, but the little that I am seems to be working so I am going to try my best to keep it up.
Thursday is mine and Cody's anniversary. He took the day off work so I am very excited to be able to spend some time with him. The last time he had a day off was when he was off work the couple days after Zaidyn was born. I don't even know what it's like hanging out with him anymore!!!!!!!! I miss my Cody!!!!!!!!! I think soon here he will be going down to just one job. He works his second job for his extra money to either spend on whatever or to save. He has been saving and just bought a fishing boat last week. Hopefully this weekend we can take it out if my sister is able to watch the kids for a couple hours!
Things are going great with the kids! Axton is learning new words everyday, I just LOVE it. It's one thing to know that they comprehend what you are saying..but for him to actually start saying words is just awesome. Zaidyn is getting so big! I can't believe how fast they grow honestly. Breastfeeding is going wonderfully. I had to take a break on pumping because my freezer has no more room for milk since I am home all the time and don't ever need to use it. The children are sleeping currently, which is why I am actually blogging. When they are sleeping at the same time I don't even know what to do with myself. It's been about an hour and a half and I am going crazy. I took a shower, cleaned up a bit..now I'm blogging. I HATE being away from my kids, even their nap times drive me nutso. I get that I should want a break from being "mom" sometimes but quite frankly I would just rather be with them then doing anything else. I am rather scared about when I start work again, whenever that will be. Couple weeks? Two months? Not sure, but either way I am terrified.
I will post again after this weekend to HOPEFULLY share with you events from my day with Cody thursday, and this weekend where he has 2 days off!
