The Belly Returns

No, I'm not talking about the pregnant belly. I'm talking about the pre-pregnant belly. It's a fear we all have--will I ever look the same again? I have it, you betcha, I do. But when I weighed myself after eight days after giving birth, I was shocked--in a good way. I had already dropped 20 pounds. Check it out!


I am posting this to remind myself that the female body can sustain many changes. And while I am still very "mushy" around the middle, I now have more faith than I had during my pregnancy that I may be able to reclaim my waist of yore. Of course, there's no chance of completing a sit-up anytime soon as the muscles on my left side need to be re-introduced to the muscles on my right side. And ah...there is hot yoga in my future--4 weeks from now, that is. :)
