The Day Has Arrived

{via}

Towards the end of my pregnancy, I was getting anxiously excited about returning to the gym.
and reacquainting myself with {this} on a regular basis again.

I have always been an athletic-minded and activity-involved kind of girl.
And the last few weeks of pregnancy...

{the few weeks where the simple task of putting on a pair of shoes became a feat of Olympic proportions.
and waddling from one end of Target to the other was my IronMan}

Never in my life had I wanted to do a pushup more.

My midwife gave me the exercise green-light the other day.
Daniel gave me the snazzy new Nike shoes.

My gallon of chocolate milk is sitting in the fridge.

There's my secret to success.
a sugary post-workout drink.

and honestly, what I'm most excited about. per usual.

Time to do a pushup. or two.

eek.

xoxo

  1. I've never been pregnant, but I have had surgery that made it impossible to work out for a while. Why is it that you want to work out most when you are told you can't?? Guess that goes for a lot of things in life.

    Enjoy your first day working it, but don't over do it! You still want to be able to pick up that boy of yours :)

  10. I'm not pregnant nor have I ever been, but I definitely need to take a lesson from you. Chocolate milk might be a good place to start -- the idea of a small reward is great. :)

  11. I drink chocolate milk after my workouts too. I read Lance Armstrong does the same thing so I don't feel the least bit guilty about it.

  13. Wow, you go, lady! After reading this, i feel guilted/inspired into doing the same.. I don't take the time to exercise (and my babe is 6 months old already.. ridiculous!) SO today is the day for me too! Thanks! :)

  14. hahaha-I love this! I seriously have dreams about running...oh, and I tried playing Twister the other day with a 3 and 6 year old (I totally get the not being able to bend over!).
    You will rock-enjoy your pushups :) Can you do a few for me?

    I am going to attempt Ironman at Marshalls today...

  15. I haven't found time to work out much. Generally about twice a week for the last month, but even with that I feel like I have much more energy so that has definitely been helpful when dealing with the babe. Good luck!

  19. I always drink chocolate milk after my workouts! I also love Silk 's Almond Milk Dark Chocolate, can we say AMAZING! You should try it!

  20. Ummmm... I want that Insanity workout. Holy shit.. I'm actually kind of afraid of Shaun T's 12 pack. It's pretty much barking at me.

    And I'm sure you look just amazing after baby. You are one of those girls who gain like 5 lbs more than you actual baby weight and it just slips right off a few weeks after baby is born

    you are beautiful. And i'm sure any extra weight has gone straight to your tatas :)
