1. […] Now I’m going to really go off the rails… Here are my personal facts & stats (I will preface this whole thing by saying that I got in great shape before my first pregnancy happened). Ready? Weight gained during first pregnancy: 29 pounds. Back in my old jeans and pre-preg weight about 2 months afterwards. Exercise during first pregnancy: walking around neighborhood and/or treadmill a few times a week for about 30 minutes, 10 or 20 pushups against my bathroom counter before brushing my teeth, 10 or 20 butt squats before going to bed (my husband loved making fun of me for those).Weight gained during second pregnancy: 32 pounds. Or maybe 33. Don’t remember. Exercise during second pregnancy: Ha. Like I had time to go to the gym between my one year old (at that time) and work gigs (I did manage to take walks here and there and kept doing those sporadic pushups/squats in my bathroom though). Exercise after [both] babies were born: I did it when I could (after 8 weeks passed…. C-sections for both births). I kept my bathroom routine going when I wasn’t obsessed with laying down and going to sleep, but DOING MY OWN HOUSEWORK kept me most active. No joke. (I practically abused my SwifferWetJet.) Not to mention I probably didn’t eat as much as I did before babies just because I was [still am, actually] time-crunched with a toddler and infant. Cramming things in my mouth when I can has become a sport and a challenge. Not to mention, my tummy insides had a lot of help post-birth thanks to my undying affection for my Tauts Belly Wrap that I wore morning, noon and night for 40 days after delivery (I wasn’t afraid to admit it).
