Getting better all the time

As I approach the two year anniversary of my TT and reflect on the journey, I can't help but feel thankful for the confidence it gave me. Even though I gained weight with the pregnancy, it is coming off and my stomach is looking great. I don't want to ever go back to the overweight, unhealthy person I was before weightloss and the surgery. I am thankful that my tummy motivates me to keep the rest of my body fit and in shape, too. The journey has been long, but I am so happy about where it has brought me!

Better Than Ever!

It's been a while since I posted. On my last blog entry, I told you guys that I found out I was pregnant. Well, I'm rocking my 6 week old baby boy as I write this. :) 
The pregnancy was fine. Because of some very tight permanent sutures, my tummy didn't get as big as what is considered normal for a pregnant woman. The last couple of months I was miserable and felt like I couldn't breathe. I delivered a healthy baby boy on May 8. Within 10 days, my stomach was almost completely flat again. I actually like my stomach better now than before my son. It's not sooo super tight. It's a nice, firm, natural-looking, flat tummy. Yes, it has some stretch marks, but I'm ok with that. I will say that since my TT, keeping the weight off my hips and thighs has been challenging, but the TT has made me so much more self-confident. Would I do it again? Yes! Was it worth it? Yes! 

If you have any questions, please post in the comments and I'll be glad to answer. :)
