Clearance

:pre-baby @ 94 lbs:

:: almost 4 yrs post partum @ 100 lbs ::

:: 3 mos postpartum w/2nd baby @ 113 lbs::

Today, I had my routine annual check with my primary care physician. I got the heads up to continue my exercise regimen. Yey! These things I feel around my wound should go away in a matter of months, some scarring and nerve endings healing, etc. Hopefully I will be able to do this more religiously without the qualms of ripping my belly open (oh God forbid!).

So back to square one, baby steps...

• continue my fish oil supplement
• eat well, lots of veggies and fruits
• minimize sweets, avoid if at all possible (you think?!)
  
• 10-15 mins cardio, i.e. walking daily increasing duration each day
• 15-30 reps abdominals daily, increasing reps gradually
• pilates thrice a week
• water, water, water

I give myself three months to lose maybe three to four inches, and perhaps a good ten pound shed. I now sit at 113lbs (with a waistline at 30-31!), 13 lbs more than my pre (second) pregnancy weight, almost 20 lbs more than my pre mommy weight.
