I...I could've written this post 21 months ago. I was given the green light by the midwife to run at 2.5 weeks postpartum. I was fine but for a while things felt, shall I say, a bit loose when I was running. Things that shouldn't be hanging out felt like they were hanging out (they weren't though, thankfully).<br /><br />The weight loss part is hard. I didn't realize how long it can take to lose the baby weight. I thought something was wrong with me because I wasn't in my pre-pregnancy jeans within a month. It all eventually did come off though, and it will for you too! I found Weight Watchers really helpful with losing ten pounds or so when I hit a plateau. But you shouldn't concern yourself with that yet. Do what exercise you can do safely. There's nothing like some walks with the stroller or baby carrier to get your legs moving and calm a crying baby.Jeannehttp://www.runningforthecupboard.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722838812657949413.post-24085138787374926892012-03-27T06:41:36.786-07:002012-03-27T06:41:36.786-07:00I was smug when I went into childbirth: "I...I was smug when I went into childbirth: "I've got this.

The third trimester woman was named Poppy and she was huge. When I started doing it early in my pregnancy, I made fun of her to myself as I went through the workout. But by the end, I looked just like her and had to do all, of not more, of the modifications that she did to get through the workout. B would walk by an say "you're just like Poppy!" and I would groan. Amazing what our bodies can do, isn't it?Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440020449242352886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722838812657949413.post-17001461827749706772012-02-12T10:53:59.507-08:002012-02-12T10:53:59.507-08:00Totally, Rebecca!

My feet got bigger during pregnancy (and stayed that way). I was in denial about it and couldn't understand why my trusty ASICS made my feet hurt in ways they hadn't hurt before. I finally bought new shoes half a size bigger.

Starting from scratch with my goals both for regular running (just getting out the door for 15 miles a week is an accomplishment where I used to get out for 15 mile runs regularly) and for racing. Its a hard mindset to get used to, and I'm not always there, but when I am, I feel so much better about where I'm at.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00440020449242352886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7722838812657949413.post-38321748915356026942012-02-10T03:57:59.696-08:002012-02-10T03:57:59.696-08:00Snow tubing!
