It's happened again.

After the initial weight loss in the weeks following the birth of each kid, I managed to either stay at a mid-pregnancy weight level, or in this most recent round, manage to even gain a bit more back.  At least, I think I have.  I seem to remember my clothes fitting a bit better after Peaches was born than they seem to now. 

I feel rather sheepish admitting all this.  After all, I knew that I'd need to keep on top of things if I was going to lose weight - the year after Gus was born taught me this.  I do breastfeed, but that hasn't really melted off the pounds like it does for some moms.  In fact, I found it easier to shed some pounds after Gus had weaned.  But in the meantime, I know I can be and should be staying fit and eating well. 

Since Peaches just hit three months and has become more predictable, I feel comfortable going to the gym again and leaving her and Gus at the playcare provided.  I started last week - some cardio and some weights.  In the food department I'm doing my best to work on avoiding the sweets cravings.  I'm planning on drinking more water and green tea.  I have some other ideas of what I could do, and hopefully will do, but right now I'd like to hear from you all out there in vox-land.

I need inspiration.
