Plugging along

I've been doing a pretty good job of keeping up with my exercise. The only downside to my game is that on the weekends, when I usually go on a hike, carrying the baby around, I'm worn out from that and don't want to fire up my exercise game to get that done too. I figure I've already exercised. But then when I start it up the next time, Anna, the trainer reminds me that I missed a day and should probably do an extra workout to make up for the missed one. She tries to point out that I'm only going to get out of it what I put in and there's no way for me to say, "But Anna, I went on a morning-long hike Saturday morning, carrying a little boy the whole way."

Regardless, I'm doing well, working hard and feeling stronger. Never mind the fact that my weight is staying roughly the same. I can at least go on a hike and do the workouts without completely wearing myself out. I don't feel that same vomity feeling I had that first night. Part of it is that I'm more psychologically prepared for it each time now, but the other part of it is that I'm getting more fit. So far, so good.
