baby's here

So I have like 30 seconds to update, probably. So quickly -- Baby boy was born Dec. 17th. I was probably pushing 250 when I delivered him. I am not around 230. I still don't have a working scale in my home. BUT... I feel GREAT about my body.

It's larger than it's ever been, without having another person inside it, and yet I feel beautiful. This should be a good thing. But I keep freaking out. I'm like wow I LOOK GOOD! And then I'm like... but I'm 230lbs... and that's FAT. I shouldn't think I look good. Isn't that a silly thought process? If I feel pretty, I should feel pretty no matter what number is on the scale.

I'm also glad I lost that first 20lbs so effortlessly. Now it's time to start working. I do want to be thinner, even if I feel pretty at this weight. I want to be healthy. I want my knee pain to go away. I want more energy.

I'm nursing this baby boy so diet options are kind of limited, but healthy eating is always good.

Okay baby is screaming, just as predicted. Hopefully I'll update here more often.
