❤ enough fluff

Oh you know just the incessant ramblings of one girls' awkward journey where she shed a hundred pounds of excess fluff, learned to run, served in the Peace Corps, came home and became a marathoner. Now she is trying to keep it off (and then some!) and stay fit. She doesn't know what life has in store next, but she's ready for it. Madelynn. 30. Vegetarian. Avocados for life.

I don’t even know how tumblr works anymore!! I feel so out of the loop.

I have a few requests for post baby(ies) tummy tuck photo. Happy to oblige so stay tuned.

I am 5 months post baby number two and have some poundage to lose but let me assure you - no revision needed!! My TT is still holding strong.

Weighing in at 170lbs and I’m not even mad about it because kids happen and my babies are worth it. That being said, this little blog is 11 years old and I think it took eight of those 11 years to realize I will never be 125lbs and THAT IS OK.

Here is to the 140s/150s but most importantly a healthy, happy, fit, strong life.

Let’s talk about pregnancy post Tummy Tuck!

For those of you wondering about pregnancy post tummy tuck here’s the good, the bad, and the ugly.

The good: You don’t show as much. which is arguably good or bad depending on how you look at it. It took a long time until strangers realized I was pregnant. Seriously like 7.5 months! I’m a 8.5 months pregnant and most people think I’m 5-6 months pregnant. Someone even suggested 3 months pregnant yesterday. I secretly wish I had a bigger bump, but thankful I don’t at the same time. Weird, I know. The good part? I’m very hopeful this means I will bounce back very quickly. My abs are strong and supported and she has not been compromised in any way by my tummy tuck.

The bad: Less bump = less room for baby. Now let me be clear, this only affects me, not her. This child of mine is growing and growing and that means my lungs, bladder, and arteries are more compressed than normal. Shortness of breath is a very normal pregnancy symptom, I just take it to the next level. Plus there was a period of time where she was sending my heart into overactive mode because she was pressing on my arteries and impacting my blood flow. Scary at first, but after going to the hospital we learned that it was positional and I could adjust myself to alleviate it. Plus once she dropped a bit, the episodes were drastically reduced. Breathing is hard, but I just take my time and rest often.

The ugly: Well there really is no ugly part of this. The stretch marks you see in the pregnant photo are all old stretch marks that are more visible now that my skin is stretched. No new stretch marks here. I use oils/lotions daily on my stomach to help avoid new marks from appearing and it has worked wonders.

Baby girl is due in a mere 4 weeks and I can’t wait. Any questions? Drop me a line! Especially if you are contemplating TT and having children. I’m an open book.

Excited to share more as the journey progresses.
