I'm exactly two weeks postpartum today and as promised, there are belly pics (oh my). As I was editing the file size in photoshop, I contemplated NOT posting these -- it really is a form of self torture! But, I promised I would and no one is reading this blog anyhow, so it hurts no one, right??? Well, here it is (click on the image for a larger one IF YOU DARE...) I'm rocking quite the gut and beer belly right now. UGH!
There is also this official weigh in business and as promised here are my stats:
Prepregnancy Weight: 128 lbs (previously I was 124 for the wedding, but we'll aim for 128)
Highest Pregnancy Weight: 165 (probably a little higher, but that's about right)
Total Weight Gained: 37 lbs
Today's Weight: 145 lbs / 20 lbs lost / 17 lbs to go!
Today's biggest challenge is finding time for my XT session of 30 minutes. I really want to ride my bike, but I don't have a helluva lotta time. I have a hair appointment at 2:30 p.m. and Koko has to be at a girl scout thing across town at 5:30 and Lil Q to soccer at 6:30. Ugh. And, my mom was supposed to help me cart kids around, but I told her to forget it as she just couldn't find it in herself to provide any help or assistance to me without laying on a thick layer of guilt... oh well, it's her loss, right??? Besides, I've managed to do things on my own without her help through this point, I can surely continue.
Which brings me to an old saying of mine: Babies aren't burdens. They are blessings.
Oh, how true it is. I will likely just do some pilates and hopefully get out and walk again today to pick up Lil Q from her after school care. Wish me luck - I need it!
