For a month or more now Ainsley, Andrew, and I have been taking walks with our neighbor. They provide some calorie burning benefits since I carry Andrew (I don't have a double stroller) but they were not REALLY walks if you get my drift, they were strolls. So, thanks to a dear friend of mine, I now have a double jogging stroller for the summer and to hopefully start getting the last few pregnancy pounds off. So, this morning Ainsley and Andrew tried it out for the first time.
After 40 minutes we arrived back at home. I was definitely ready for a shower. There was only a brief stint of running (did I ever really run a marathon?) and a lot of walking. I think 10 minutes in I was already experiencing side-stitch. Hopefully, the ramp up period for getting back in shape will only take a few weeks. I would really like to jog with the stroller. However, the stroller alone provides quite a work out with the two kids in it. This gave a whole new meaning to "hill", they were more like mountains today. Once we were all in the house, Ainsley and Andrew did work outs of there own:
Here's Andrew working on neck strength. He's doing a great job now at tummy time and accomplishing this task. Though he is till frustrated that he can't move much when he's on his stomach. Rolling over is a cinch now and scooting on his back is his favorite. He can turn himself in a circle and make it about a foot if I'm not paying attention.
And then there's Ainsley. She loves exercising with me and is all muscle. At a whopping 27 pounds, her exercise regimen consists of lifting food. A favorite breakfast, fruit with chocolate donuts. (A treat.) Usually the donuts are replaced by whole-grain waffles.
