Now that I am 9 weeks post pardum it is officially time to get the baby weight off. With this pregnancy I gained WAY more weight than I wanted to. Between a semi-rocky pregnancy, my Dad's diagnosis and treatment, the girls having a rough school year and everything else life threw my way... I ate. Too much! I ended my pregnancy almost 40 pounds from where I wanted to be.
So here I am, sitting 30 pounds heavier than where I want to be to even feel somewhat comfortable. After I had the girls I shed the weight a lot easier and a lot faster. I guess that is the difference between being in my 20's and being in my 30's. :D
So now I am resigned to cut carbs and sugar. I am insulin resistant so carbs and sugar are not my friends. I am making an attempt to walk but between the weather being in the high 90's non stop and having three kids, exercise is hard to come by. But I am trying. These are the times I wish I could go back in time and slap the donut out of my pregnant self's hand and replace it with an apple. I guess hind sight truly is 20/20.
So here's to weight loss!

Be gentle on yourself! The weight will come off, in due time. Remember that the girls will be back to school soon enough and you and Jack-Jack can gets lots of walks/exercising in while spending some one on one time together!
Take your time! Too much too soon and you'll burn out. I understand your desire to get the ball rolling though. It's a frustrating "state" to be in. Your body has done amazing things so appreciate it and give it the time it needs :-)
ermsthaseriously, take your time...but very funny imagery! I often times wish I could go back to my pre-child self and tell myself to wear a bikini more...cause they time will come for that to end
Anon - Boy did you say it! I wish I knew what I had when I had it. :D
