First "official" day back at work

I went back to work officially today. :)
First off, this meant time for the official weigh in (my goal was to get back to my pre pregnancy weight before school started). Well....I weighed myself this morning and 135 popped up on the scale. I did it!!!!!! I couldn't be happier about that.
I also got to interact with my co workers today, get focused on the upcoming school year and get my classroom ready.
I was in a great mood all day, and the best part was the girls went to daycare and both had spectacular days too. :)

How I'm doing

So a month ago I went to my dr saying I cried constantly and couldn't live in the moment any more. She said it sounds like I had postpartum anxiety and depression. I thought it how could this be? I didn't have it with my first daughter. I found every excuse in the book to explain why I felt this way but my dr wanted to try me taking zoloft. So I took my prescription home, debated taking it or not and decided to try it. Well I can say today I went in to my 1 month check up and it was an amazing feeling to fill out the postpartum depression/anxiety survey and be able to fill it out with a smile on my face and positivity inside me. 
I wish there wasn't such a negative attachment when people hear the words postpartum depression/anxiety. I wasn't crazy, but I did need help. Today felt so good to smile and say that to myself. :)

Oh and I am now only 5lbs from my pre pregnancy weight!!!
