Postpartum Update

So it's been about 8 1/2 months since Hudson was born and I haven't updated in forever on my postpartum journey. Since I've been on a special diet in order to continue breastfeeding I have cut myself a lot of slack in the exercise department. One of the benefits of the diet is that I have lost a ton of weight. I'm floating right around 123-125 pounds, so about 25 pounds less than I weighed pre-pregnancy. It's crazy to think that in 8 months I've lost about 54 pounds!! Unfortunately, I'm all flab. I have lost so much muscle. I have strong arms from holding Hudson and that is about it. On top of that I have no aerobic capacity. I'll walk up the stairs while talking and get out of breath! So, Nic and I decided it was finally time to start exercising again. After almost 2 years of hardly working out, I went back to the gym. Nic and I are planning to go every Tuesday and Thursday and I am happy to report I survived week 1. It was tough, but I already feel better. Plus it is nice to spend some time with Nic sans baby. Here is a lovely photo of me post workout. I'm hoping to get that baby belly of mine toned up, tighten up all over and just feel healthier in general.
