One of my main goals of blogging was to have a place to record prenatal and postpartum workouts - I did pretty well with the prenatal but the post-partum has left MUCH to be desired. Going to do my best to rectify that now so that if I am ever pregnant again I will have a much better basis for comparison.
Quick life update - Declan
Declan is now 12 months old, walking, and eating like a little caveman (loves meat, especially bacon:-)! He is still nursing in the mornings and at night (and occasionally during the day as well...the beauty of working from home).
Health / nutrition / fitness update
I am so thankful to be almost 100% better. Battling with my hip / pelvic issue was a major hurdle and took away my biggest stress reliever, running, when I needed it most. I am still very diligent about my body work and have been doing Core Fusion or Bar Method regularly. The exercises are very similar to those prescribed by my PT during rehab and I definitely notice a difference when I miss a few days. I have been going to Exhale's Core Fusion in Soho for months but due to upcoming travel I put my membership on hold. I used this time as an opportunity to check out the Bar Method in Soho at a discounted rate. (I did the Bar Method regularly while pregnant but only did the first 30 minutes of class). So far my vote is definitely Core Fusion - seems like a much harder workout, but I am going to give the Bar Method an honest chance.
Current fitness regime is: running, cycling, Crossfit, TRX, and Exhale / Bar method. Definitely getting enough variety and keeping this fun. The cycling workouts are all on my trainer (since we have about 2 feet of snow) and they are legitimately challenging power-based sessions. I am pleasantly surprised with my numbers thus far and am getting VERY excited to ride in France this summer.
Nutrition: mostly paleo but certainly not super strict. Loving coconut butter right now! I finally lost the last 6 pounds without even realizing it, I am pretty sure it was tied to cutting back on nursing as I didn't do anything else differently. Feels much better to be back at about 113 pounds - especially for pull-ups.

9 mile run (to PP via Fort Greene and back) - I intended to squat today but I mentally needed some time in the "great outdoors."
Wooohoo! You are back to blogging:). Looks like I have some exercise inspiration now that I am back on track...we shall see.
