Mamavation Monday: Almost 3 Weeks Post-Partum
Happy Mamavation Monday and a belated Happy Mother’s Day to everyone out there!
Today we’re almost at 3 weeks with Flash, and that means almost 3 weeks since I was pregnant. Time seems to have moved both slowly and quickly — a strange paradox — as I look at myself in the mirror and then stare in the face of this beautiful little boy.
In the almost-3 weeks since bringing Flash into the world, I have tried my best to eat well and stay as active as I’m allowed. I’ve taken some strolls to the post office, and I’m constantly following the Animal around the house.
In another 3 weeks or so, however, I’ll get to start REALLY moving, and I can’t believe how much I look forward to this. I know Mamavation has a large hand in my motivation — I’m watching the awesome Mamavation Moms work their magic and find great results. I’m staying accountable with my friend, Dee, who is also trying to stay motivated. I’m enjoying the shrinking waistline.
Now to my victories:
Non-Scale Victories
- I took a nap yesterday. That’s like heaven!
- I finished my re-certification requirements for teaching and sent that in to DPI.
- I got a rockin’ Mother’s Day surprise from Miss Sassy Pants. Check me out:
Scale Victories
- I lost another 2 pounds, yo. That brings me to a total of 24 lbs lost since Flash was born. This is so exciting – even if I know it will plateau.
So, it’s been a great week. Tell me about your week. What victories can you record?
