Bootylicious, but not in the good way

The title is meant to be comical, and I'm trying my hardest to take the extra weight with a few extra laughs at myself.  It's not always easy, but I'm determined, and I am very positive about my journey!  I can thank my close friends for being so wonderful by reading my blog or asking me how my running program is going.  It's only been a few days since I've really been at it, but it makes me look with anticipation toward posting and hearing their positive reinforcement later.  Thanks guys!!!

Today WAS a rest day, but after my Thursday miss, I'm doing cross training today to make it up.  I already snuck in some bonus exercise at the soccer fields as I toted BB around in a front pack -- man, that's a workout!!!  Today, I hope to get in a pilates session and about 10 minutes of walking on the treadmill.  Forecast is calling for lots of rain and thunderclouds are visible on the horizon.  Better to play it safe indoors this time around.

I wore a pair of pre-pregnancy jeans today - they were from Charlotte Russe and a size 9.  My other 9s don't yet fit as these are ultra low rise -- giving the expanded tummy a little wiggle room.  They were the jeans I wore the longest in the beginning of my pregnancy, and having a new tummy, hip and thigh shaper from Target really does wonders for keeping the rolls in control and preventing muffin top.  It's not a long term solution, but I'm wearing my jeans (or at least a pair or two...).
