This post is a reality check for those of you who see the moms who “bounce back” six weeks after having their baby and think it’s that easy. Because before I had the girls that’s exactly what I thought. I thought I’d be able to just pop them out and keep it movin’. At least this is what the #mompreneur in me had hoped for because I had places to be and people to see and I felt like I needed to feel and look like my “normal self” to do that. The fact of the matter was it wasn’t all that easy because REALITY CHECK I wasn’t my “normal self” I was actually an entirely different person. I looked different, felt different, and even thought differently. So for those of you who see women six weeks after having a baby and think they are the same, remember there’s always more to what you see. A woman’s body may look the same physically but I can promise you she doesn’t feel the same. As for me everything was changed and I’ve spent the past few months trying to get back to myself. This is me 55 weeks postpartum. The results you’re about to see are combined efforts from heading to _rebelhouse for some cycling and boxing, to seeing dramandalucero to help balance my hormones, to mind, body, spirit coaching FaceTime calls with t_stroud42, to sort of following the iheartmacros cut challenge, to seeing the best of the best gatewaylasercenter, to talking occasionally with my therapist, to quitting breastfeeding at 11 months PP, and to giving myself A LOT of grace and time and space because like I said there’s more to it then what you see. To read more on what my postpartum looked like and my four REAL tips to get back to feeling like your “NEW & IMPROVED NORMAL SELF” click the link in my bio and select most recent blog post! #ThisIsPostpartum
