Anyway, now Rowan is a bit more predictable at night, and is eating more solids (and presumably less milk) we need to think about getting fit again.  I’m already feeling fitter than I was after the birth (and about 6 months of sitting on my arse – I now feel I was a little too worried about overdoing it!) and am almost ready to make a start on something more serious.  I’ve been walking at least a mile every day during the week (pretty much) and regularly do 2-4 miles in a day to get to various things.

I don’t think I’m quite ready for running club yet, but I might just try out the gym at the dolphin centre (local council leisure centre).  It’ll be odd because I’ve never been an evening exerciser, but that’s the only opportunity I’ll get, so I’ll have to take it.

I’ve already ditched my regular biscuit/snack buying habit (although I currently subsituting with cream crackers – just not so many of them) and need to work on that suppertime bowl of ice cream and the chocolate I still like to buy when I’m out and about.  Of course I won’t be giving up everything just yet – I’m still breastfeeding after all – I just want to gradually start getting fitter again, as I felt great when I was running every week!
