I’m back after a long absence, and to those few of you who are regulars, I am sorry for not updating recently. It’s a combination of factors that have kept me away from this blog. Part of it has been due to the move, and me being bogged down with one crisis after the next at work. Although truth be told, lots of work has never stopped me from blogging before (on the contrary – I would tend to sneak off to my blog more to avoid the work!). The main reason, however, is that I just don’t feel like I have anything to write.

I have lost all the pregnancy weight and then some, and am now even lower than my goal weight. I expected to have to work hard on getting back into shape after having Noa, but honestly, I haven’t really had to make much of an effort. It was just much easier than I expected. I went to pilates, I ate what I usually eat, I breastfed. The weight dropped off me, and I think I’m looking better now than I ever have in my adult life. And honestly, I felt bad just being honest about that on this blog. I know there are so many mothers out there who try so hard and struggle to shift the pregnancy weight. Keeping that in mind, it’s kind of hard to log on and write another post like “well, I haven’t really done any exercise, and I had pizza and beer for dinner last night and I’ve lost another 3 pounds”. See where I’m coming from?

It had been an idea in the back of my head that once I had lost the weight (and I had presumed I would have to work hard on that), I would be full of good ideas, inspiration and advice for other new mothers out there. Fact is, I am not. I don’t have anything to write in an e-book, and quite frankly, there are enough of those out there. So where to from here? Well, that is the question, and I’m not sure I have the answer just yet.
