Hitting the Gym

I've been sitting on my ass doing little physical activity since coming home from the hospital. It was getting a little depressing that I was still putting on my pregnancy clothing because my other clothes still didn't fit.

So, in an effort to regain my shapely figure, I joined a gym - a 3 year, $650 membership that I reluctantly paid for upfront. I was advised countless times by my doctor to take it slow when beginning my work-out regimen. After a cesarean birth, mothers are supposed to wait until 6 weeks postpartum before exercising. But pulling at the fat on my waistline and buying new non-pregnancy clothes that were 2 sizes bigger than normal really began to wear at my sense of self-worth. So 3 weeks after birth, I hit the gym for a "light" work out.
