Today was my first day back to work. I know I said in an earlier post that I was not going to be so sad.

I lied!

I missed my babies something awful. It was nice to see my colleagues but I’d rather be home playing superheroes, potty training, and swimming.

And of course, my period should have arrived 7 days ago. I was all prepared for it, but it had another plan. A diabolical plan! The bloating started yesterday. So I currently look about 8 months pregnant. The backache started 2 days ago, and as I drove home, the cramps began. Tomorrow, there will be a bunch of students needing direction and support, and I’ll be secretly dying. Tonight, my kids just want me to play but my uterus feels like it may fall out.

This is why I’m convinced that my body hates me.

Since I’m back to work, I figured its a good time to really focus on what I put in my body and how much I actually move my body during the course of the day. So back to diligent tracking and I bought myself a fitbit.

I love it! It’s like a pedometer on steroids. It tracks my steps, my stairs, calories burned, and even my sleep patterns. Did you know that you’re supposed to walk 10,000 steps a day!!??!! I’m working my way up. Oh, and I lost a few ounces this past week. Big freaking deal!

Here’s a little update…1st day of school with students and I’m well over my 10,000 step mark and I walked 5 miles today!!
