Fit Mommy Monday - Get Ripped

Just time for a very quick check-in here...the baby is starting to make her little, squeaky, elephant noises so I know I have about 30 seconds.

I had my post-baby doctors appointment last Wednesday. I thought they were just going to have a look at my incision, ask me how I was feeling, and send me on my way. No. Not so lucky. It was a stirrups kind of a day. Yuck. But, worse than that...they also made me get up on the scale. On my last visit before Nicole was born I was 150. I was 118 before I got pregnant. I was hoping to at least be in the 120's somewhere but, no. No such luck. 132. So, that means I have 14 pounds of pure fat to loose. I asked my doctor how long it normally takes to make it back down to your pre-preggo weight and she, of course, said it totally depends. She asked if I was nursing (yes) and said that usually helps women to loose it fast. She, for example, was 10 pounds LESS than her pre-preggo weight at her 6 weeks post visit. UGH. I don't think I like her very much anymore {Just Kidding}. So, anyway, that means I have 14 pounds to go. Seven pounds from each thigh...clearly...as I have so many pairs of pants that I can't even get passed my thighs, let alone do up!

So, after that sad visit I've upped the work-outs. No longer satisfying myself with a nice, quick, stroll. I got out the Jari Love, y'all.

Now, this used to be one of my easier work-out tapes back in the day (the day when I could pull up my pants) and I was rather congratulating myself on actually getting through it on my first attempt. The next day...I could barely climb the stairs. My arms hurt, my tummy hurt, and when I crossed my legs just the weight of my one leg on top of my other thigh muscle killed.

I had to give myself a couple of days off to recoup.

But, I got back up on that horse...or exercise mat...today and I did it again.

The plan for this week is 3 days more of me and Jari.

Also, I'm going to re-weigh myself when I take the baby back to the doctor's for the second half of her vaccines. I haven't had any junk or any coke all week (except one coke and some ice cream on Sunday. I'm letting that be my free day). I hope I'm under 130 now. Is that possible in a week?

If you are a Mommy trying to get into your pants again, too, please let me know! I need someone to help keep me motivated...especially if that scale isn't going to give me any good news this Wednesday!
