Confession: I want my body back

After months of morning sickness, a sore back, and an ever growing belly I was ready to meet my little guy. I dreamed of the day that I could hold my baby and get to know him. What I wasn't ready for was the long road to recovery. I remember looking at myself the day after delivery and thinking...

I look 6 months pregnant! What the heck? I'm NEVER going to look the same.

 That last sentence is a lie. Unfortunately the first sentence not so much, I really did look 6 months pregnant still :(. Seriously though, I know plenty of moms who have gotten in even better shape after their pregnancy than they ever were before they were pregnant. So here I am, 7 weeks postpartum and I am bound and determined to get my body back. It is my hope that I can encourage you along your journey to getting your body back as I chronicle my own. I know there will be times when I feel like giving up, but I do not believe in letting myself go-I will not be that mom. God gave men and women power over their bodies. Our bodies are subject to us, not the other way around.

I have 10 more pounds to go until I reach my pre-prego weight, but my goal is 20. Here goes nothing...

This is me and my hubby on our honeymoon. 1.5 years ago. I will get back into that bikini one day!

Me about to have my son, much heavier.
