The evening snacks/drinking is killing me offffff. What a waste of calories. I feel so shattered and drained by the end of the day that I feel like rewarding myself. I need to see "rewards" as putting healthy goodness in my tired body, not more shite. I love being at home with the baby but now the weather is turning our long walks out and busy days on the beach are being replaced by snuggles and games indoors which is harder mentally I think. And also means I'm not exercising as much. I like to be busy. I find that when he naps I want to be getting on with cleaning/batch cooking/catching up on food shopping/replying to friends but also am in desperate need of some quiet time where I can do nothing.
Tomorrow I'm meeting a pal for lunch (all this eating out too...not good!) and then hitting the gym for a swim. Will leave L in the creche so I can have an actual swim. I have my mother-in-law arriving on Friday morning from Austin. I'm sort of dreading it but she hasn't met the baby yet and so I'm very excited for them both to get to know each other.
Hi Petal, no, couldn't rob my parents of seeing his first Christmas so we get back a few days before Christmas. I can't wait to see him look at the Christmas decorations, Christmas seems so much more exciting with little ones!
