Exhaustion

We hired a nanny to come M-F from 2-6 and she started Tuesday. Things have been kind of up in the air since then. The very first thing she taught me was how to get Pepper to nap during the day, and Pepper IMMEDIATELY got the hang of it. So I suddenly found myself with at least 2 free hours in the morning. Ive spent my free time cleaning and organizing the house, which means that I'm almost constantly on my feet. My body is NOT used to this at all, and by the end of the day I am utterly exhausted.

I haven't really been on one of our runs this week, and I hate it. Ive been trying to do my Gilad workouts (did G15 Arms & Core Foundations today), but Im doing them midday instead of in the morning because A) with her napping more during the day, Im not quite sure if she'll keep sleeping long enough for me to pump, exercise AND make breakfast and B) Im not yawning my way through the workouts.

Tomorrow Im going to make a few changes to my day:

- Im going to try a different breakfast (oats are great and healthy, but variety is healthy too!)
- Im going to spend my morning break doing exercise, cleaning and logging/planning meals (I find that with being so tired lately, Im not eating as healthy)
- Im going to have our nanny come at 1-5 so she can watch Pepper while I pump
- Im going to study while I pump
- Im going to go to the gym while the nanny is here

That was my original goal for getting a nanny, and I did want to stay home initially so we could get into a routine, but Im trying to branch out. I went to the grocery store today by myself! The nanny is great with Pepper, and I could even see us being good friends!

This Saturday, Kevin and I are having our first REAL date since Pepper was born!! We were originally going to do dinner and a movie, but we decided to get pizza, rent a movie, and have a few baby-free hours just by ourselves! WOO!
