[escapethroughmelody]

I feel so ugly and gross most days. Feeling like my body is disgisting or not beautiful or desirable. But then I see my children. Seeing their smiles. I then realize the marks and size is an indication of what I did: I brought life into this world. It’s a work in progress. But I’m trying. If you’re on your postpartum journey as well, you’re not alone. 💗

Little excerpt from an older article of mine ❤️ “Although being a parent is the greatest joy of my life, if I must be completely honest, it is so much harder than I ever thought it would be. I thought it would come naturally, because I had always longed for the day I got to become someone’s mom. But what I realized was, I was so detached from my own inner voice, my own needs, that it was next to impossible to understand what my child needed from me. I had to reconnect with my inner spirit before I could make sense of, or have the strength to really dive into motherhood. But when I did, I became the person I was always meant to be. She was lost, but motherhood dug her back out, dusted her off and said “your authentic self is needed. This shell of a person will not do for these precious little one’s.” I did not see myself as worthy of living a joyful authentic life, but I did see my children as worthy of having an authentic attachment figure. So despite the immense urge to curl up and hide, I instead pushed forward with my self-reflection and self-discovery and found my inner voice. She was so quiet in the beginning. A little squeak saying “can you please pay attention to me for a minute, if it’s not to much trouble?” But I kept listening to her, I kept giving her space to feel heard and validated. I spent time understanding her needs and then meeting them. And as she felt more heard, more nurtured, she became louder. Before I knew it, her voice took over. She now fights for her place in my mind, but she is heard, and she takes up more and more space everyday.” Continued in my blog, link in bio @responsive_parenting EDITED TO ADD: Lots of questions about tools and strategies I’ve used over the years, on my healing journey. I created a Guide to Survival Mode Plans as a compilation of some of these tools.

I’ve got two weekly races on my schedule now! And as someone who didn’t race while pregnant last season after IMNZ in March, this actually means a lot - even though one race is a 5k against my husband and the other is virtual in my garage! I had so been looking forward to getting back into my triathlon grind, and awakening that part of myself again, so to even have a taste helps get through the #quarantine haze. And, it is easier to fit this schedule around a preschooler and a baby anyway I suppose! #trimom #raceday #protriathletes #virtualrace #gozwift #critcity #shelterinplacefamily5k #nuunlife #wattieinkracing #postpartumfitness #postpartumjourney https://www.instagram.com/p/CAbFxbMhS4P/?igshid=1s45kdpqvkpu0

“Always remember to enjoy the road especially when it’s a hard one.” - Kobe Bryant // After not being able to run for a couple weeks, I’m happy to have another pain free run in the books😀✅ I’ve been doing my PT exercises for my knee diligently and working hard to continue doing an activity that I love. Although my postpartum running has had a few bumps, I’m staying the course and learning to enjoy journey. Take nothing for granted 👍🏾 Happy Monday! // #mambamentality #postpartumjourney #11monthspostpartum #motherrunner #postpartumfitness https://www.instagram.com/p/B8-OQcun_u2/?igshid=3i5rokn0ii43

So here's Honesty for ya.... I have always wore a neoprene belt to help sweat out any water weight and I absolutely loved them. I even used mine while pregnant to help relieve the weight from my belly and help my back posture. An since mine got stretched out during pregnancy I bought this new one from Amazon I'm going to review and post on blog. It was listed as a Waist Trainer which before I would have said No way to the idea. However, in no way am I trying to decrease my waist size besides losing the extra pregnancy weight I gained. But, I bought this one because it is made of neoprene, has a corset style and the zipper makes you feel secure. An the straps help keep it in place not falling down or riding up. I can't wait to workout in it. What can I say I've always been an elite Athlete and I love to Sweat! An since I've been posting my postpartum progress.. I'm at 14 weeks out and these past two weeks I've taken off 3lbs, 1 1/2 inches, -1.3 in body fat %, and down 1.5 on the BMI scale. I am really happy with my progress. An now adding in my new Trainer Top and see If I can make my numbers go down a little faster! So if anyone ask about little tricks I use, I guess neoprene and sweating has always been one of them. I'm always here to help others feel and look Their best, need Training?
