I’m having a rough time of it.  Sleepless nights and colicky days.  Sleep deprivation the likes of which I’ve never known (and I’m insomnia queen!).  Post partum depression issues.   I’m on the edge of a major meltdown pretty much all the time. 

I was inspired to healthy action a bit when discovering that not only did I lose all the baby weight that I gained, but also dropped down below my starting weight — the weight where I was stuck for a year.  I keep thinking that maybe my body is ready to let me shed some pounds again.  It’s difficult to stay feeling inspired when you are exhausted and depressed though, much less do anything about it.  Even a trip to the store to stock up on good healthy food is a major undertaking with a newborn in tow.  And mustering the energy to get on the treadmill while subsisting on a couple of catnaps proves to be impossible. 

I’m working on getting enough water daily, while cutting out/back on sugary sodas and juices.  I seem to be able to handle at least that.
