I failed to mention in my first post that I am now 36 years old and weigh 156 lbs (and am 5'5"). I know that this doesn't sound alarming to most people but trust me when I say that I looked pudgy when I was 30 lbs. lighter. No thanks to all of the swelling--courtesy of Hashimoto's.
I have been tracking my weight for several years. I keep a daily log in a notebook next to my scale and always weigh at the same time. Recently, I found a notebook that was dated 1 month postpartum. Sadly, I now weigh more than I did 4 years ago when I had my last child.
I am considering renaming my blog - 'my weight-gain journey' since that is the direction I am now headed in.
Instead of dwelling about the number on my scale, I have decided that I need to take additional action and sign up for a 10K race. Before I had kids, I ran 2 half marathons but now only have endurance for 3 miles. Perhaps this self challenge will push me in the right direction.
