However, upon starting my "new me" routine; I noticed a few distinct changes. I decided I'd start easy...with Jillian Michaels. Well, she is far from easy but with a napping baby, it was the best option I could think of that kept me here at home but made me feel like a good workout was taking place. I chose Level 1 of her 30 day shred. (lose 20lbs in 30 days? sign me up) Its only a 20 minute commitment, and its level 1 right? Easy Peasy...or so I thought. Lets just remind the audience it has been a YEAR since I've done anything more than walking around the neighborhood at 7-10 months pregnant. Lets just say it how it is...it was rough. AND I can't do jumping jacks, butt kicks, or jump rope without peeing a little on each jump. WHAT'S WITH THAT!
In conclusion, I've learned that this whole new me will create some fabulous results - which will most likely take way more than 30 days. Perhaps even taking me back to the "before we met" stage. I'm just putting it out in the universe so that we all know what I'm aiming for. As a unhappy side affect of childbirth, this whole new me will have to work out in Depends, with a much more supportive sports bra!
Three cheers for this whole new me!

Good Luck...you can do it! And your comments about the effects of childbirth had me laughing.
Welcome to the side effects of child birth! And I actually think it gets worse with each child. Way to go for starting to exercise after a month. I took a few months off to try and ease my way into it. And I am still not very good. oh well!
I can't work out at the gym without thinking of you, dear! :oP
If it makes you feel better, August is 6+ months old and I just went to the gym for the first time today. I'm pathetic.
