t's been a little over two months and i'm back to my old active self again. i waited until 8 weeks after delivery before i did any exercise, although taking care of a baby is in itself a workout. all those sleepless nights, getting up to change the diaper, breastfeeding, bathing the baby...
sigh. if only people can lose weight as fast as you do right after childbirth! 20 lbs in one week, can you believe it? (although i need to give birth 3 more times to get back to my goal weight. hehehe) since then i've lost 10 more and i'm happy.
it's not without effort though. my old elliptical machine is here, so i use it every day for my cardio workout. i started with 15 minutes during the first agony-filled week. now i'm doing 30 minutes. and i feel great!
nothing can give you so much energy like a good cardio workout. i feel stronger and so NOT post partum. and that's the best benefit of all! =)
