Bring It On, Jillian

I am in between my maternity and pre-baby sizes right now... Too small for the maternity clothes and my pre-baby clothes are a bit snug. Could I wear them? Yes. Should I? Um, no. I'm not going to be one of those women. You know who I am talking about. You've seen them at the grocery store or the mall. The ones who cannot admit that they are not the same size they were in high school. Yeah. I'm not going there.

I swore I would not buy new clothes, that I would tough it out for a few months until I shrunk back down to my normal size. Well, I can't live in lounge pants anymore. I've been wearing them for seven weeks now. I've got standards. Lounge pants and sneakers everyday? Not the look I am going for unless I am working out. (And I don't do that. Ha!)

I went to the mall yesterday and bought, get this, ultra skinny jeans. Not my usual size 6, but size 8 is not bad considering Eden is seven weeks old. I refuse to wear leggings, absolutely refuse. But...skinny jeans? They are not actually terrible! And they look cute with the longer over-sized tops, which are very Mommy friendly.

I've got about ten more pounds to loose to get back to my fighting weight. I haven't actually been doing a darn thing to loose the baby weight, but I need to because we have family photos scheduled for November 15th. My plan? Exercise. I'm trying to contain my excitement. Can you tell? I found something yesterday that I think will actually get me up and moving. Check it out. I think this will be A LOT more fun than watching the same DVD over and over again. And maybe I will actually be good at it. We bought Wii Fit when it came out last summer and I suck. I was trying to do the most basic yoga poses and scored zero. I'm not exaggerating. Zero! I am sure that the baby in my stomach had something to do with my crappy balance, but still! Kelly was mocking me and so I said, "Why don't you try to do better!" And apparently he is some sort of savant yoga master because he is awesome. Figures. We haven't unpacked the Wii since we moved but I fully intend on breaking it out tonight after I buy my new game and give Jillian a run for her money. And practice my yoga poses....

If I don't post tomorrow that just means that every muscle in my body hurts. I'll let you know how it goes.

I am so jealous of the Wii Fit- well, Wii anything really. It's the only "video" game system I've ever really actually found enjoyable. And also - hello- size 8 at SEVEN WEEKS OUT? That is one amazing body you've got- amazing! I'd say you deserve some new clothes for the inbetween period :)

I can't wait for the review. =) I saw that in an ad a few weeks ago and thought about it but obviously did nothing about it. I think maybe Jillian scares me a bit. =) Good luck!

I hear you my friend. I've got 10-15 I want to lose... but I figure hey, 6 weeks post-partum? That's not too shabby!

But for now, I am still totally content to live in lounge pants. haha!!!
