Going back to work on Wed

I can't believe that my maternity leave is up.:-( I was fortunate to get 5 months off but I've got to go back on Wednesday. I've got myself all worked up - been getting headaches for about a week now due to my worrying. I dropped the boys' things off at daycare last week and met the 2 women that work in the infant room. They seem like nice ladies and I know that Gannon will adjust fine, it is me that is a mess! Gabe is excited about going back to daycare b/c he misses his buddies.

I"ve got all of our clothes ready for the rest of the week, my house is almost all cleaned, laundry is done and we're getting ready to head out to finish the grocery shopping.

I think that part of me is ready to go back so I can get myself back into a routine. I"ve got a lot of weight to lose and find that I cannot get myself motivated being at home. When I work, I walk during my lunch and I take only healthy things to eat and I figure, I"ll be too busy in the evenings with the kids, etc. to be sitting on the couch being lazy. I"m going to attempt to get up at 4:00 to get my workouts done in the morning. Not sure how this is going to go since I"m an evening exerciser.
 
Dana--I hope all goes well for you. Getting up at 4:00 am to workout is ambitious, but I know a number of women on the forums do it.

I also wanted to let you know, that I have a significant amount of weight to lose as well, having gained much more than I'd hoped this time around--so you are not alone!

take care
Maggie:)
 
Dana, you'll find support here! You and your babes are in my prayers for a smooth transition. I"m sure ya'll all do wonderfully!!!!
