Squishy

Yea! Pat myself on the back...I've lost all my baby weight. So why don't my pants fit? I think its because of the squishy factor. I'm squishy in places I wasn't before. I have bulges in strange areas. My fat jeans look like my skinny jeans. My belly is soft. I'm not saying I had rock-hard abs before, but things were definitely flatter, firmer, and stayed in a bit more. I'm not sure I recognize this body.

On Friday, I'll get the clearance to start exercising again. I'm trying to figure out when I will squeeze it in. I'm nervous that since I can barely fit in a shower or a bathroom break, a genuine work out might be out of the question. I might try to do crunches while reading to Helen, butt crunches while nursing, squats while folding laundry, and I think I'll start to lift the kids over my head like they are weights. Opportunities when both kids are asleep, so I could do a work out on my own are rare. Rarely are both happy enough to sit in the stroller for a jog. Although to be fair, both of them are asleep right now and I am watching the show "Work Out" on Bravo instead of actually working out myself. But its really motivating me. Although this Hershey Bar commerical is also motivating me...to eat some candy. Hmmm...what to do, what to do? Well, since I can't officially start working out until Friday, I better keep watching TV and eat that chocolate.
