1st Sweat Post Partum

I have been working on my core little by little.  Yesterday was the first time I did any sort of "workout" where I actually sweat. I'm still not pushing it super hard because I haven't had my 6 week checkup yet..though it is coming up.

One thing I'm getting sick of is people telling me that it won't happen overnight. Or to just let my body heal first.  Or to just enjoy that baby before worrying about working out.

First of all...I know it is going to take a while to get back to where I was? Dude! I know.  This isn't my first rodeo. I've done this before and it took a few years to get to where I was.  Second, I know my body better than anyone else. I already know it's still healing.  I already know I have a long ways to go. I don't need reminders all the damn time.

I know people mean well, but at least put a positive spin on it.  Like those saying "I don't think it will take as long as you think..." That is uplifting.

Anyway...enough of the vent.  I just had to get that off my chest because it was starting to feel like people WANT to hold me back.
It feels good to move my body again...even just a little bit. Here is what I did yesterday.  I even had to work my way up to this...and it was tough for me.

And here are some of my starting point pics.  They aren't terrible, but they aren't exactly pretty either.  But they are part of my journey back to being strong so here they are!
