need some encouragement.

Maria

I'm in a wedding at the end of May. I have my own wedding in January. I am 4 months post partum and just feel like a blob. I have been swimming 3 days a week for 2 weeks now but I'm meeting with a trainer tonight. my jealous mother told me it's a waste of time that it isn't going to help. She just wants me to go her slow route. I'm ready to up the workouts though. (side note, we both have really bad backs with spinal stenosis and herniated discs) just looking for some encouragement!

pic is from March 11. I'll try and find Easter pics. I feel like I look terrible.
