This mom loves her belly - despite stripes and flaps
A little bit of a #transformationtuesday comin 'at ya today. The photo on the left is giving birth to my first baby, almost 7 years ago. From that day on my body never felt like it belonged to me. It carried my sweet boy for 9 months. Then it nourished him for his first year. After that, my baby girl has 9 months. Then it's her first year almost. Then shortly after that. In between pregnancies I tried to stay "healthy". But I was not healthy at all. I did cardio here and there. Made some sad attempts at weight machines at the gym. Ate like crap. Etc etc. But the last 7 and a half months, my body has finally felt like my own again. I'm in control of it and it's the best feeling in the world. It's more than possible to be in the world! Making health and fitness a priority in my life what the best decision I've made. To all the moms out there postpartum, prepregnancy, pregnant or just struggling to find the balance. YOU CAN THIS THIS !! It wants to be hard. You want to quit. It's worth it and it's ALWAYS worth it. It is not selfish of you to want to better yourself. And if you have kids, you will want to look for a good example of a healthy life.
