My goals for this are modified and aimed at simply being patient and gentle with myself, making sure I carve out a little time to take care of myself.

Our baby is due any day now and I KNOW that will keep me busy and alter our current schedule in a BIG way. However, I have a nice stroller with hefty wheels for handling these back roads for walks and I hope to get out for a walk or two during the week. It will depend entirely on the weather and the health of our wee one. In addition, I have made arrangements for a sitter twice a week for 2 hours so I can get to yoga. While I'll be getting to the studio less, I have signed up for the more vigorous classes so that's good! Also, I have a mat here (my good mat lives at the studio) so I can practice here. Added bonus, my best GF got me a Mommy and Baby yoga DVD so we can do yoga together (although I'm really thinking this will work better in the 3 month + zone). I have a bike too so MAYBE I can get some of that in. Kayaking will be happening as Daddy will be on the shore with the baby. I am in training for a river fest coming up next month. I got myself a new boat and am working to become really familiar with it, how it handles and it's tipping limits.

Food choices remain to be whole foods, lots of veggies and fruits. No big changes there.

If anticipation counts towards burning calories, I expect to drop a large amount of weight in the next week or two..LOL! Really though, I'll do what I can this month and be happy with whatever I do.

Happy May Everybody!
