I've been thinking a lot lately about how women who have had babies get a bad rep when it comes to post baby bodies. I think this is a load of crap. I feel and look better now than I did before I got pregnant. I loved my body when I was pregnant and I was surprised by how fast I lost weight after my girl came. That could have been a result of the lack of eating time I had when she first came though. Nonetheless, I feel great. I hope women stop thinking that a baby will ruin them and just enjoy the whole process.
So this brings me to a comment my doc said to me a week or so ago and it has stuck with me. I had a CT scan done of my mid section and my oh so wonderful back muscles, or lack there of, showed up on the scan. The doctor literally said my muscles were puny and that they looked like the muscles of a 60 year old woman rather than a 29 year old woman. I was totally embarrassed. I was informed I should exercise and make sure I include lots of back and abdominal exercises. So I immediately started researching fitness centers in my area and decided I needed to be a body builder. That thought didn't last more than 5 minutes though because I truly do not see how paying a monthly fee to exercise is worth it. All I need is a good pair of sneakers and a pair of weights and I'm good to go. I'd like to start with walking and condition myself enough to run and maybe do a 5K in the near future. That's my goal as of right now. Who's with me?
