Before and After

It helps when I look at my very mushy and still prominent belly to remember what it looked like while it had a baby inside it. And I was encouraged today to find that I already have several pairs of pre-pregnancy pants I can wear (though that speaks more to my weight before pregnancy than anything else). My sister asked what my belly looks like now. I told her my belly button looks like the Grand Canyon.

On the upside, this gives me lots of impetus to get back in shape. As I dug through clothes today, I felt like I was meeting old friends. Oh, yeah, those great khaki pants! Ah, what a great skirt. I told Wes when I brought a pile of clothes back upstairs that it felt like I'd been on a shopping spree with more in store when I dropped a size or two.

It'll be at least another week, I think, before I feel like I can jog, but with the nice weather we've been having in Chicago, I look forward to getting out -- or just to the exercise room with Ollie in tow.
