feeling soggy

so i just had a baby just under 5 months ago. she's fabulous, wonderful and i am madly in love more than i ever dreamed.


however, there is the not-so-lovely side effects post baby. the "soggy" look. everyone you vent to about the annoying, still hangin' around baby weight will tell you that it took 9 months to put the weight on so you can't expect to lose it so fast. i think these people are just being nice. 

3 signs that have brought me to the conclusion that i need to get going on losing this baby weight...

1) not one, not two, but 3 contestants on the 'biggest loser' weigh less than i do. needless to say i have veered away from eating ice cream while watching this season. 

2) i still feel compelled to create + wear a shirt that reads ' i have a newborn at home' when i go running. at almost 5 months, she is no longer a newborn. and being overweight and sporting flashy new running sneakers make me look like a beginner runner, of course which i'm not.

(said new running shoes)


3) i'm still wearing maternity jeans on an almost daily basis. 

although i do not expect to look like this



i would like to get myself back into shape enough so i can make a rare appearance here before labor day.
