...and then there was 7!

So....! Well, I kind of got really busy and found out that we were due with baby #7 a bit after I decided to go for the Couch2 5k , so you can imagine that didn't happen.

Baby Justus was born May 6th, 2011 21 mos after Emmalia! He is a handsome fellow and since I am exclusively breastfeeding without ANY formula what-so-ever, I am being careful about how soon I start my weightloss goals.
I'm back to 150lbs now and having 12 years of pregnancy has not been kind to weight melting off of me. This past birth also has not been kind to my body, so Im recovering a lot slower than I have in the past. Justus' birth was not the sweet wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am I had with Emma. It was more traumatic, and I am pretty sure God was preparing me to feel done.

This whole summer I have had very little drive to do much about exercise. I dont know if it is the fact that Im so tired or that Justus eats every 3 hours or.. that Im just not ready to torture myself, but I'm kicking myself knowing what the winters are going to be like and how hard its going to be to try and get healthy THEN.
School is starting soon and as I have chosen to homeschool my 2 older girls, I am going to make a point in going on morning walks with them as part of our PE. Just have to follow through. :)
