My name is Janelle and I no longer have abdominal muscles. See, that's what happens when you have four babies in five years including twins. Since last July when we found out about the twins, I digested the info, ate, grew, and gave birth to my boys at 36 weeks this past January.
My body has taken the brunt of three pregnancies—with each pregnancy my boobs and belly have sagged a little more. Add in nursing, some, umm heft to begin with, lack of time with kids to exercise ... and you have where I am now: unhappy at my body but proud that I had three successful pregnancies. But now that I am officially done with having babies (sad!) ... it's my turn. Time for me to wear the clothes I miss wearing (all those great Anthropologie dresses from my honeymoon), time for me to not hate going to the pool, time for me to have more energy so I can keep up with my kids. I just turned 35. I've given over my body the last five years to my babies and pregnancies and now it's my turn to take it back.
That's why I am so excited about my Body Back boot camp. Over the next few weeks I am going to lay it all out here ... the good, the bad, the sweaty. This is going to be an honest look at what it's like for a normal person to try to loose weight by exercising and eating well, while also trying to juggle kids and life. I'm going to admit my failures (ice cream!) and successes (weight lose), schedule (20 minute workouts while babies sleep) and crying jags (usually between 12-6 AM). And eek, tell you all my measurements. Be kind. —JED
