Today I went back to gym for the first time since V has been gone. I went after work with her and I was concerned I wouldn’t be able to keep up or I would have lost what I gained, but I was able to pick it back up right where we left off.

It felt great to be back in the gym, I even felt better afterwards. I expected to feel exhausted and run down. But I was able to watch tv and run to the store with my husband for a birthday gift for his cousin’s kid tomorrow.

I was excited to go to workout again tomorrow after work but I forgot we had the birthday party to go to. So I’m allowing myself to sleep in and not worry about it. I’m giving myself some grace, I deserve it.

I also have been thinking about how pregnancy has changed me. I believed that I use to have people pleasing tendencies but now that I am putting myself and child first – I feel more in-powered.

I’m diggin’ it.
