12.8 pounds left to loose

It's true that it gets more difficult to lose the baby weight after the 1st child.  This month has been difficult with family in town because I haven't been on my normal semi-daily run on the bike path, but I have been running with Uila once in a while around Ala Moana, a good 2K.
