one of the awful side effects of becoming hugely pregnant over 9 months and then having your lower abdomen sliced open to remove the baby is that said abdomen doesn't just bounce back to its prepregnancy state.
luckily i have found the answer (pilates) and it works so well that even in a sleepy haze, my husband can tell each morning whether or not i did my dvd the night before.
he hasn't said anything in several weeks. i hate that he's so good at this game. i hate even more that if i skip even one day (ONE DAY) everything goes all smooshy.
recently i realized that i have done this dvd so many times that i have it memorized, and discovered that i am much more likely to complete the exercises if, say, i have house playing on the tv while i do it. my scrubs dvds work just as well. boring tv shows don't work, as boring tv show + boring ab work = kara on the couch with the laptop.
so anyway. bathing suit season is just around the corner (seriously people, does it really ever end here?) and this mama will not be in a tankini for another summer. i just won't. so, you all are going to have to keep me honest - pilates 3 times per week for the month of february. so far, so good........
