I would always say babies don't make me fat, but overeating and lack of movement does. So I understand your "naturally thin" comment.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09758725434335617325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965615.post-66810008374574245942010-07-12T12:35:36.816-07:002010-07-12T12:35:36.816-07:00I'm glad that this post has been encouraging. ...I'm glad that this post has been encouraging. I was thinking of not posting it after seeing how long it was! Did you get your sneakers? Now I need to be encouraged by all your exercise during your pregancy. I seriously have to make it a priority. And just so you know I really believe that when you have two small children you are in the toughest part of life :-) No joke. People always ask me how I do it with so many children, but having just two was sooooooooo hard!!! Finding a routine really helps.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />KerriThe Southern Peach-Girlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16285922048222762134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965615.post-89279446716050866132010-07-10T17:59:28.469-07:002010-07-10T17:59:28.469-07:00Wow - I didn't know all of that! I thought yo...Wow - I didn't know all of that! I thought you were always just a natural runner! You're so inspiring, and funny that you happened to write this post as I am struggling with finding time to lose 50 pounds! ugh. I was 15 pounds overweight when I got pregnant with Noah, and gained 27 lbs during the pregnancy. Lost all but 10. So I was 25 lbs overweight when I got pregnant with Henry. I gained 25 lbs with his pregnancy...working out almost everyday 1 hour on a elliptical machine and then up unitl 8 months also walking 3 miles pushing Noah in his stroller. I think I was in the best shape of my life during that pregnancy....so determined to be strong and healthy for my VBAC. And when I came home from the hospital I was only 3 pounds heavier than before I got pregnant....but then...with the stress of 2 and nursing and our living situation...I gained 23 pounds! CRAZY! I have never thought I'd be this large...and it's so hard to find the time to workout...but you've inspired me to stop complaining and making excuses...and get moving! tHANK YOU! I'm going to order new sneakers online right now...mine have holes in them, that's how bad I need new ones.

LOL! I was referring to the other 2 previous posts! This is so true about exercise! Hope you can keep it up so your next birth is easy peasy! :)Tracy Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07818322348164366661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18965615.post-29483345177491602392010-07-08T02:17:40.985-07:002010-07-08T02:17:40.985-07:00Good for you, Kerri !

I'm still walking a mile each morning. I need to do more, but I have time only for this for now, so I'm changing the tone of the walk by using some interval-training techniques that Dr. Mercola suggests. This helps me get more bang for the buck! (and buck I do!)<br />May the Lord bless you in your efforts!<br />LisaLisa H.noreply@blogger.com
