Well.. Kind of. And technically they were my period jeans... they don't look too hot with all of this lovely extra skin flab I've got going on.. but I can physically button them at this point! I still use the hair tie loop trick when I wear them.. but I'm excited that I can wear them at all. When I first came home from the hospital I couldn't even fit them over my butt.
I'm down about 35lbs from my weight when I delivered, but I still have 20lbs to go until I get back to my pre pregnancy weight (I'm shooting for 135.. I was about 140 pre preg). I don't have the extra cash, or childcare to get to the gym like I would like, so I picked up the 30 day shred when I was shopping this weekend. I still haven't made it through the WHOLE workout (yesterday was my first day and Cami woke up BOTH times I tried to do it) but I'm already feeling pretty sore. I took some before pictures but until I find the little adapter that plugs my memory card into my computer they will be stuck on my camera.
In other news, I spent my first full day out of the house with my daughter on memorial day, and we are both still alive and well! We've been out for shopping trips/visiting friends and family for a couple hours at a time.. but Monday I went to a BBQ with some friends (Margot, your potato salad was stellar!) and C and I were out of the house for about 8 hours! Breastfeeding outside of the comfort and safety of my home more than once (and not in my car, or in my future father in law's house) wasn't as scary as I had imagined it would be!
Well, I was just about to say "Well.. I'm going to go see if I can get away with my 20 minute workout before my kid wakes up.".. but she just did so I guess I'll have to postpone my date with Jillian until later this afternoon.
I'm interested to hear how you like the 30-day Shred workout. It seems like a lot of people on The Bump boards use it. I've just never really been super into workout videos, but who has time to go to the gym with a newborn??
