Working out again. :)

So I got the OK to workout again at my last OB appointment, which was not with my regular OB.. I kinda wanted to see him again after all the hospital crap (that's what it was... CRAP!) and to update him but he wasn't in. I did get to see Dr. Kreske who has a husband that works with the guy that did my ostomy surgery. So I got to know her pretty well while in the hospital. I had to make an appointment because after 6 weeks post partum, I was still bleeding pretty heavily even with clots. :( I wasn't too worried because on Babycenter people were saying they bled for a while longer than 6 weeks. But Dr Kreske said everything was healed..at the time of the appointment I wasn't bleeding.  That was a Thursday...then Saturday I did a spinning workout and we DTD. By Monday I was bleeding again!! WTF. It wasn't really a lot so I went for a 1/2 mile run and did some walking. The next day was even more so I called the OB and the nurse said its likely my period. Really, my period? But I had zero cramps which wasn't normal, unless things change after birth? I decided to see what would happen over the next week. It has gotten lighter, even with me working out a little. Its now more of a brownish discharge. Sooo.. hopefully it continues to be light or nonexistent, maybe?  I have a script for birth control at the pharmacy. But I'm not sure if that was or was not my period so when do I start it?? ugh

Anyways last week since everything was healed (even with the bleeding) I did a half mile run plus walking for 1/2 hour on Monday. Then I ran a full mile on Wed and spinning on Saturday. I did 2 miles this past Monday, then 3 on the Treadmill Wednesday and 3 again on Friday. Wed was ok but Friday my legs felt so heavy, I was slow and felt so out of  shape! I assume this feeling will go away soon - I cannot wait to get out there and feel good again while running. Its fall which is the best time of year to run IMO. I have a tentative goal of running in a 5k or 10k (havent decided yet) on November 10th. It is a Turkey Trot race at a local park.. The follow-up with my surgeon is November 12, and hopefully soon after I'll have my surgery to get rid of this stupid annoying pain-in-the butt ostomy bag.

I think I have given up on breastfeeding/pumping. After my procedures my supply went way down. I was able to nurse a few times and it went ok...but lately he hasn't reacted great to it and I thought with my supply way down...I didn't find it worth it anymore. Its much  less stress with the bottle.. I feel guilty.. but its better for both of us!!
