I have to admit, I’m 32 weeks pregnant and, as much as I am looking forward to meeting my new son, I just can’t wait to start shedding those unwanted pregnancy pounds!
Yep, I’m a schemer. I started scheming once I lost the motivation and energy to exercise. Oh yes, I actually had big plans to “train my body” and remain long and lean throughout my pregnancy, just like Gabriella Reese! But with morning sickness, aching joints and chasing after my other three sons, exercise lost it’s place on my high priority list and I began to tip the scales!
This is nothing new. With each pregnancy I’ve gained the unwanted chub (my husband thinks it’s cute, or so he says) but I have also shed all those pounds by working hard and applying the strategies, resources and tools that I share on this website.
Here I am once again, planning and preparing to get back into shape, despite the challenges that a newborn brings.
Perhaps I should just kick back and enjoy my pregnancy more. Some women, I call them beamers, seem to omit this gorgeous glow throughout their pregnancy, even when they feel tired or unattractive. They seem to emit this bright light and you don’t really notice if they are chubby or not, they just look healthy and beautiful. Do you know anyone like this?
I am not a beamer, but I would like to be. Sure, I have moments of awe, enjoying the little life that is growing inside me, irregardless of the pounds I’m packing on. But mostly, I think, I can’t wait to meet you little guy, after all, there’s only room for one of us in this body – time for you to move out!
Does anyone else out there start making their postpartum weight loss plans before they’ve even had their baby? Are you a schemer? If so, what’s your plan – let’s compare notes! I bet you have some great ideas to contribute.
If you’re not a schemer, perhaps you’re a beamer and you can share with the rest of us what your secret is. We’d love to know the secret to your sweet countenance and contentment with pregnancy chub!
