Having a baby boy has been such a blessing minus one big thing - what the heck happened to my body?! I ask myself this question every day and think back to when I was happily eating chocolate ice cream a few months ago... BUT I told myself that when I was pregnant I was going to enjoy it and eat ice cream because I knew after I had the baby it was back to business! Putting it all out there, I gained a total of 50 lbs when I was pregnant. That's right! Take into consideration that I was severely bloated with pre-eclampsia so after giving birth, the first 30+ lbs came off really quickly. So quickly that I assumed I wouldn't have to work for the rest. But after 8 weeks I have now realized that I do. And I have to work hard.

If you DO have Diastasis Recti, you can YouTube exercises to reverse it. Although I have started my Diastasis exercises, it's been hard for me to get back into a REAL non-preggo exercise routine. SO with that being said, Jaime and I have decided to start a cleanse. We chose Dr. Oz's 2-day Wonder Cleanse and will be starting tomorrow... A 2-day cleanse is all I can handle at this point. I thought blogging about our little journey would help with the mental side of this cleanse. Wish us luck!
