Attempt

I keep trying to get myself into fitness mode. I have been doing it for almost a year now. I stopped breastfeeding the triplets the last week of May. Instead of losing weight, I lost my boobies and gained more weight somewhere else. I try to pay attention to what I am eating. The girls eat well balanced meals and snacks. Well, the girls meaning the triplets, Chloe doesn't eat much of anything. I try to stay clear of things I know I should stay clear of, most of the time I do fairly well. Those that know me, know that I am ALWAYS moving. Up, down, back, forth, chasing one, picking up one, holding another. All day everyday. So it's not like I am sitting around watching soaps and eating bon bons. I am still trying to lose...well...I am not going to go there with how much...but let's just say trying to lose a significant amount. I am out walking with the girls several days a week. Although we never seem to get far, or go very quickly. Someone is always throwing a button, or a sippy cup from the stroller, or collecting a clover flower from a yard, or picking up a pretty rock. Oh, I work up a good sweat all right. By the time we arrive back home, I am exhausted and usually frustrated, because the girls are ready to get out of the stroller. Thinking to myself, yep another day where I didn't seem to get in a "real workout" but feel too tired to do anything more about it. I am inspired by other mothers of multiples and singletons who look FAN-FRICKIN-TASTIC. I envy you and I truly want to be there. Amongst the fit and beautiful Mommies. I want to be healthy and have more energy! I want my four beautiful girls AND my old body! Why can't I have both?
