Today I was actually motivated to work out. When I woke up this am I felt good, or at least in less pain then when I woke up yesterday. My hubby woke up early and got the kids moving and I got to sleep in for a few extra minutes. It was glorious. We took our little angels for a hike in a great park with great trails today. We took about a hour hike and it felt good. When I got home and went for a 20min run, which hurt less then yesterday.
I think that I want what every new mom wants. To loose the baby weight and to fit into all your old clothes again. Well I'm here to tell you that based off of my experience it won't happen the way that you want. Your body changes, your hips widen, your boobs start to sag, nothing is really the same. With every kid the weight takes a little longer to come off. I always love the celebs that loose all their weight in 6 weeks. If I was rich and could hire my own personal trainer and work out for hrs a day, uninterrupted I'd loose all the weight in 6 weeks too. But I'm a real person living in the real world where I have to work and have more to do then ever with 4 kids.
In any case I just want to loose weight and be as sexy as I used to be.That's all any of us want... right. Forget about the saggy boobs or stretch marks, I just want to fit into something other then maternity clothes. So, that's where my motivation comes from. I just passed up a candy bar from the freezer offered by my hubby, that's how much I want to fit into my dress and run this marathon. You have to do what works for you and fits into your life. Then it WILL work for you.
Until tomorrow and our next workout. Hopefully, we will have another contributor soon with her thoughts and experiences.
