And I'm ready to get my old belly back! I have lost all the baby weight, which I'm really thankful for. But, you know that soft mommy tummy that seems impossible to firm up? I've still got that, and am ready to do something about it. I've exercised since Celia was born, but really haven't been giving it my all. I used to be a competitive runner and ran through my second trimester before Celia was born. I'd really like to step things up and get back to where I was pre-pregnancy. That means no more excuses about how tired I am or that there isn't enough time. If I use my time wisely and work out when an opportunity arises, I should be able to exercise regularly.
On to the plan: Run at least 3 times per week to start. Cross train/lift/do ab work at least twice per week. How to make time: Run on weekends when Chris can watch Celia. Run or cross train on workdays before getting Celia from daycare, or do a quick video during her naps. Once the weather warms up I can take her with me in the stroller.
This week I have already run twice and did a killer ab workout yesterday. Monday will be the official start of my exercise plan. Maybe I'll set some fitness goals and reward myself with some new running clothes if I meet them :).
That is my goal as well! I have lost all the baby weight and more-now I just want to firm up and reclaim my soft tummy! I am running in the early mornings and running/walking at night with a friend. My reward is also new running clothes :)
ReplyDeleteOne thing that really helped my stomach after my first two children was Pilates. It did wonders!
