So today I suppose I will be selfish! This post is all about me!
This week, I decided to restart Couch to 5k program. Somehow, "Big Momma" swallowed "Foxy Brown" whole during this last pregnancy and I'm hoping to rescue her!
Admittedly, I am the first person to be an encourager to moms stressing over their body image and beating themselves up over weight gain. I really don't think that "being skinny" is what every woman should strive for. I think all women should strive to live happy, healthy lives not constantly pressuring themselves to be teenager thin/young. After all, the only alternative to aging is death and I for one, am not ready for that right now!
That being said, I am ready to get back to a picture of health and not feel like I'm oozing around daily from one spot to another. Prior to this pregnancy, I was in the best shape of my adulthood. I was eating well, running regularly and physically in shape. So, on Monday, "Operation Foxy Brown" was put back in motion. With my six week postpartum check-up approval given, off I ran. First, let me say that I was proud of how well I did having not run since I became pregnant. However, during my run, I noticed some physical changes that I loathe. . . I mean LOATHE! Everything was jiggling and I mean everything. I thought some parts were just supposed to be still! Geesh! I mean, I could feel the ripples in waves as I jiggled down the pavement! This being even more motivation for me to push on. I found myself sore the next two days in some strange places. I made it through W1D1 and plan to keep on until I graduate this program in nine weeks. My plan is to complete Couch to 5k, use Lose-it or MyFitnessPal to track my diet and eat sensibly! I'm making myself accountable by posting this, so stay tuned for my progress! Also, feel free to join me in my journey and we can keep each other motivated and accountable!
P.S. My fat hurts!!!!
