It's been almost a year since I gave birth to my precious angel. Where does the time go? As far as losing all the baby weight, let me tell you it has not been easy. I'm no Kate Middleton nor Kim Kardashian, who within weeks were looking fabulous. And speaking of Kim Kardashian she gave birth 5 weeks early so technically she does not count. Because every woman who has been pregnant knows you gain the most weight those last 5 weeks lol. It was not easy for me to bounce back. My story is different. My journey is different. And I'm okay with that. I'm actually proud of that, because it makes me who I am.
I've been really wanting to share my birth story with you guys and I feel like at first I was definitely not ready but as we approach my son's 1st birthday I'll have a blog post on it.
I had my son emergency c-section. My recovery was a little bit longer, but it went smoothly. I had gained about 45lbs during my pregnancy and 25 of those pounds came off right away. Leaving me with 20 more pounds to lose. I took 8 weeks of maternity leave from my job. Then went back to work.
As I went back to work it was so much more difficult than I ever imagined. I was breast feeding too. I had such a hard time breast feeding and that's a whole other story. With the demands of baby, house work, work, and life I was under a lot of stress. I'm a military wife so not having family to take care of our son was hard. Our family lives 23 hrs away driving. This left me with not a lot of time to exercise. And it hurt at times, because running is my passion, but I had to accept it. I couldn't worry about myself because I had someone more important than myself to think of and take care of and that was my son.
I knew eventually things would get easier with time and guess what? They did. It's been 11 months since I've had baby and I'm here to tell you I'm still trying to lose that baby weight. After almost a year I feel finally I can get into the routine of things. I've quit my job to focus on my own business more and it feels good.
So moral of the story is...although you feel you may be stuck in a rut and things don't seem like they're moving for you...well they will. Everyone goes through a "season". Season's don't last forever. Your season will not last forever. So maybe you haven't lost all that baby weight yet. I'm here to tell you it's okay. You are an amazing beautiful mother and you'll get there. In the meantime embrace yourself and embrace the journey!
xoxo,
Marilu
