The thing about having a goal like “staying fit to have a healthy baby” is so wishy-washy. The best time to lose any excess weight is before getting pregnant. So lately I have taken “staying fit to have a healthy baby” as my workout mantra. Problem is – the mantra is actually less motivating than having a defined goal of losing 2 inches around my waist by spring.

When my back stopped hurting from my car accident, the doctors were no longer interested with my complaints about hip pain when my first MRI and x-ray showed that there is nothing wrong with my hip. I even started believing that it might be from muscle imbalance or something I did from my workouts.

I am turning 31 this weekend. Birthdays are always an exciting time for me. All the free lunches and free dinners because people want to treat you. Then there are the birthday cakes (yep, multiple ones). Lastly there is the grand finale feast that my mom spends all day shopping and preparing when I visit. And of course, there are all the restaurants my husband drags me to because of the lure of a free birthday meal.

Whatever the reason, I am just happy to get my workout mojo back.

It was pretty neat clicking through my online health record to find out why I had an appointment with my doctor on May of 2007. But as I click through the appointment list, I notice that the online health record also list my “official weight” at every visit. I knew I should have taken off my shoes before hopping on the doctor’s scale!

According to Reader’s Digest, most women gain back the weight they loss for a wedding within a year of the marriage. I might have set a new record with my 2 months. It has to be the weather. Or it could be my serious face time with yummy food during my two week honeymoon. Whatever the case, my weight is up and my pants are tight.

The lucky ones on the trains are able to enjoy a 1-inch perimeter of personal space, but the rest of us have to contend with the jab of someone’s handbag on their backs or crushed toes resulting from someone’s unsteady stance. I am surprise there isn’t more incidences of groping in such close quarters.
