Well turns out, this mommy thing is really time consuming and you never know what schedule a newborn is going to have. Oh and the sleep deprivation that occurs that drives you to take a nap the very second your baby takes one too.
Needless to say, my plans to get back in shape have been a lot harder than anticipated, but they are happening. I decided to cut myself a break. Quinn's only 3 months old!
Some of the things I have been doing are running with the stroller a few times a week, walking ALOT with Quinn in the baby Bjorne. I'll also do strength exercises with Quinn in my arms like squats and lunges and bicep curls. She is a chunk so it works pretty well. Getting in shape is hard no matter if you are a mom or not. The most important thing I think is that you make it a priority in your day and that you are being consistent. Consistency is the key! I always say that to Cole and he makes fun of me.
Nursing has helped me get to my pre-preggo weight, now I just need to get toned! We are going to San Diego in May 2014 so I will give myself til then to get in amazing shape.
Here's Quinnie just because!
Best dressed baby around. Its so hard to be patient withourselves. For me it wasn't so much I wanted that toned body(partially, yes for sure) but more just being able to have a plan and stick to it. A baby don't care about it's mama's plans I learned and that was frustrating. Have a good weekend
