What a beautiful baby! Don't be so hard on yourself, it's going to take time to get back
into shape, but it will happenGreat idea on starting a journal, I know starting one
has helped me out a lot. I'll be checking in on you!
Keep your chin up![]()
I've been trying to be good nutrition-wise the past couple of weeks but I still falter. So, I figured I'd better go ahead and start my new journal so I'd have someone to be accountable to cause let's face it, Gracie just doesn't care what mommy eats![]()
Haven't figured out a way to get to the gym yet, she's still too young to put in the nursery. I've thought of a few exercises I can do at home and I can always take Gracie for a walk in the neighborhood. Now that my parents live in the same neighborhood, we can visit mawmaw and granddad![]()
I can't bare to post my current weight or stats yet. Just know that before I got pregnant I was between a size 10 and 12. After gaining 45lbs, I'm now between a size 14 and 16![]()

I'm so glad you started another journal AnnYour girl is so precious
I KNOW you can do this
Are you allowed to go back to the gym yet? Long walks with baby Gracie could be the best thing right now
Have a great Thursday!
I had this exact same problem!Originally Posted by butterfly
Congratulations Ann, she is truly beautiful!![]()
I agree with Jenny, long walks are the best thing for you right now. When did you have her? Take it easy doing anything else. I started back to my regular routine too quickly and PAID for it big-time. Started bleeding again, and had a lot of pain in that area as well, because of it. (sorry tmi) Take it easy on yourself and enjoy this wonderful time with your daughter.

Hi Ann - Just wanted to tell you not to be too hard on yourself. You and Gracie are both beautiful and I know you'll get your weight back where you feel your best in no time. (And seriously - you look very pregnant in the photo right before she was born but NOT fat.)
