Here I am again at a ridiculous hour LOL!

Hey everyone. Hope you all are doing well and having a great weekend. So I am working on losing my baby weight as I had a baby July 3. So far I have lost 25 pounds, Not as much as I would like to have lost, but my doc says its really good lol. I find myself very discouraged with all the weight i gained during pregnancy.. I don't even recall how much it was but a lot more than i wanted! Thats for sure hahaha. So I have been going to the YMCA and walking lots of laps in the pool as my newborn son enjoys the pool aqnd I am not ready to leave him with anyone yet. SO theres no real swimming or working out yet. I also have been goin to the park and taking longer walks.. I need to be doing both more but things are still kinda busy gettin routine down and all. Gettin used to this mom thing. LOL. I have been doin pretty good with my dieting atleast. Also I have not really had much of a appetite at all since I have had him. not sure why. ANyhow that is my update LOL Have a great coming week

Hi Candy!

Braxton is so cute!  I don't blame you for not wanting to let him out of or sight.  My "baby" who is now 22 was also born on July 3.

I think it's great that you are doing some power walking in the pool with your baby.  Is there some kind of harness or carrier that you use or do you just carry him in your arms?   I also do water aerobics when I can get there and power walk the pool.  I'm not much of swimmer but you don't really have to be to get the benefits of working out in the water.

Good luck on losing your "baby weight."

Sounds great Candy. Anything to burn calories. Water walking, baby walking, sit up's lifting Braxten on your chest, arm lifts using Braxten for weight lifting. You will be forced to lift more weight as he grows, lol. He is sure cute in the pics. Be sure to update pics often. Where has the time gone already. Hugs

My darling daughter....YOU are doing GREAT with losing the weight. 25 lbs in 6 weeks is AWESOME especially considering you are over 2 1/2 years out from surgery! Keep up the great work! You can and will do this!

Thats gotta be the cutest little man I have ever held, seen and smootched...

Thanks ladies!!!

DONSHARLEYGIRL: NO I just carry him... I enjoy playin with him in there i dip him in and watch him movin his little legs around lol. He loves the water which is also a pro to doing this with him as he will hopeufully love water as much as I do and we should never have that fear of water battles.. Got him the cutes little trunks and wet suit top to maintain his body heat and works great! Thats cool your baby was also born the 3rd. A great day obviously He is my miracle baby. I did not think I couold have kids.. This is another one of many blessings this surgery has done for me. If I was better set I would reward my doctor with something magnificant as he has been awesome all the way and this was my biggest desire of all I must say!
