Notes To Self From First Workout Post Baby

Just because all the doctors finally gave you clearance doesn't mean they meant you could run a marathon.

Hydrate BEFOREHAND. Then rehydrate.

Running with breasts full of milk hurts and needs more support.

Wearing all gym clothes as pajamas means running in baggy clothes and almost getting captured by the machines.

Thinking about how you don't fit into your favorite swimming suit does NOT motivate to run faster. Only leads to frustration and mumbling.

A 'good workout' typically does not include falling over when you stop and swearing like Uncle C after Christmas shots.

If you can hear you singing Madonna over the radio, everyone upstairs probably can too. Expect a chorus of "we are living in a material world, and you are a material girl!" as you open the door.

You will regret that candy bar you ate for lunch.

Same for that soda.

And no, you cannot have another soda because you burned the calories from the first one.

Kids are napping. You worked yourself exhausted. Just as they get up full of energy. Yeah, good plan.

DO THIS MORE OFTEN and your body will forgive you, thank you even.



Wow, that chick is pretty smart. I should have listened to her. Except for that soda part.. She's nuts. Cheers!
