So, I can't fit into all of my "real" pants yet, but I was feeling pretty darn good when I was able to button my work pants this morning. I had tried them on a few weeks-months ago, and couldn't even zip the fly. Today, I wore them to work! Rounding the corner in the pants department is really encouraging. The baby weight is no joke. The unfamiliar body I've been living in the last few months is finally starting to feel like mine again.
People say that breastfeeding will make the pounds just fall off. Not my experience thus far. The scale seemed broken for a good 8 weeks. I've been teaching Zumba again now for 11 weeks. It took 3 months for it to make a difference in how I feel and how I look. While looks aren't the most important thing, it feels so good to be able to wear the clothes in my closet and workout how I used to. I finally feel that my energy has returned and my abs contract when I ask them to. Eventually I will get into my "skinny" jeans. Until then, I am grateful that I feel better about myself and have clothes to wear. I don't have to go to work bottomless. That's good;)
