I know now just what a toll the near bed-rest of pregnancy and the recovery from surgery had on my body. I've never been in great shape but it used to be I could walk at a nice pace for an hour or so with no problem... Now - I seem to have a limit of about fifteen minutes at a brisk pace... that's pathetic!
In some ways - this pregnancy was great for my health overall. I'm probably in better health overall today than I have been since I was thirteen. The last of my bad habits are gone. I have my first pair of running shoes in ten years (basically since gym was a requirement my senior year in highschool...). I have actual goals instead of concept goals - the difference between I want to be a healthy size 8 rather than I want to be skinny. I think- because of those things and the fact that I know how to cook now - I can actually make those goals by next summer... Next summer being the time that (if one is put together) my high school reunion would happen...
