Today I just feel good with myself. Most days I look at myself and feel disgusted. I wonder what my husband sees in me. I don’t have time to do my hair and makeup. I rarely wear anything but sweats and oversized sweatshirts because comfort is more important than looking cute nowadays. My boobs are saggy and always two different sizes (thanks baby). My butts gone and my thighs are so much bigger. My body has changed in ways I never imagined. But today, I looked in the mirror and I was actually okay with how I look for 8 months PP. I have been consistently working out since I was 4 weeks postpartum and although it’s been rough ( I wake up every morning around 3:30am to go to our local gym), I can say it has paid off. I’m also taking my personal trainers certification test in a few weeks and I’m so excited, especially to work with expecting and postpartum mommas. I want to dispel the idea that fitness is based on genetics. It’s not. It’s based on hard work, dedication, and most importantly consistency.
