2 Weeks PP

I'll be honest, with Thanksgiving and all the food, I was a little afraid I would actually GAIN weight. Fortunately, I lost 4 lbs and the baby belly is pretty much gone! It's nice to know that I can go out in public now and people won't think I'm in my second trimester of pregnancy. :P Today marks the day that my doctor said I can start walking, but still no real exercise for another 4 weeks. I have heard that if you work on the ab muscles too early, it can actually prevent them from returning back to normal, so it's okay with me. I downloaded the iphone Power Walk app from Bluefin (same company whose Couch to 5K app I used before) and I will start that today. I always need a plan. Sitting around makes me crazy. I cannot wait to get back outside in the fresh air and moving!

Total weight gained: 46 lbs
Lost so far: 24 lbs
Left to lose: 22 lbs

1 Week Post-Partum

Having given birth to my second (and last) baby a week ago, I am determined to get my body not only back into shape, but better than ever before. Just like I took pictures to show the growing belly during the pregnancy, I am going to do the same thing to show the SHRINKING belly, as embarrassing as it will be. I am not
supposed to even go walking until 2 weeks PP, so exercise is out of the question for another week, but breastfeeding is doing wonders as well as Mother Nature. So here goes!
