Postpartum exercise

postpartum weight lossI’ll just go ahead & admit it right now:  I was cocky about how easy it would be to lose weight postpartum.  Obviously I’d never had a baby before & I was not factoring in how my body has changed from pregnancy.

I really thought losing weight would be a piece of cake.  Simple.  Very easy.  Damn, how naive I was!

Monkey turned 9 months old a few days ago &  I’m still not back to my pre-pregnancy clothes… but I have come to realize that no matter how much weight I lose, my body is just different.  Different meaning that even if I weighed the same amount as I did before I was pregnant, who knows, my clothes still might not fit just right.

And even though that is not the way I wish it was, I do [click to continue…]

postpartum exercise babyMy, my, it feels like forever since I’ve blogged.  It’s definitely not that I haven’t had a million things to talk about; it’s the time it takes to actually do it.  Whew.

Things are going really great lately.  I’m so happy being Monkey’s mom & we have really fallen into a great groove.  Today we started Stroller Fit and while it’s not totally what I thought it would be, it’s fun!

What did I think it would be?

Well, for one thing, I didn’t think it would be [click to continue…]

losing pregnancy weightLet the losing of my pregnancy weight begin. *cue Biggest Loser music*

Today was Day 1 of going to the gym & it was awesome.  Once I actually get my ass to the gym I develop a new attitude, almost instantly.  It’s just getting to the gym that is the problem.

I actually had to re-join the gym & did that yesterday.  The trainer that was signing me up was totally trying to get me to pay for some training sessions too.  I, very matter of factly, told him that I didn’t need a trainer.  It’s true – I don’t.  I’ve worked out my whole life & I’ve had trainers in the past.  I know how to [click to continue…]

how to lose pregnancy weightI went out to pick up lunch for me & Tarzan today.  While I was standing in line to order my sandwich a girl walked in holding a baby.  I didn’t think too much about it.  Her baby looked to be a couple months younger than Monkey & she was holding him in her arms.

A lady came in behind her and said, “Is that your baby?”  The girl replied that it was her baby.  The lady asked if it was a boy or a girl & was told that it was a boy.  Then the woman, quite [click to continue…]

postpartum exercisesAs I put on my maternity jeans today, I realized that while I hate the fact that I’m still wearing maternity jeans, I’m not exactly doing much about it.  As in I’m seriously lacking the motivation for some reason.

I can rattle off a bajillion reasons why I need to lose this damn baby weight, but I would rather eat a Chick-Fil-A sandwich and waffle fries instead.  Oh, okay I’ll be honest:  I washed the above down with a Dr. Pepper.

My size 10 maternity jeans are feeling a bit snug… in the hips & thigh area, which is no good at all.  It’s actually quite depressing that it’s been [click to continue…]

postpartum exerciseThe other night I went out with my best friend.  I was so excited & hardly had time to think about what I was going to wear.  After all, it was my first girl’s night out and I was more excited about that so I really forgot to look in my closet to see what I had to wear.

My friend came over and we looked in my closet, trying to find something for me to wear.  I have a lot of clothes… I mean, a lot.  However I do not own any “fat” clothes.

And since I just had a baby, this [click to continue…]
