happy living

looking in the mirror at my post baby body... hmmmm....words that come to mind? drab. jello. flat. It's not what I'm used to. I've always been fairly health conscious and a runner. 9 months of growing Foster seems to have changed my body. Part of me feels like its a badge of honor. As if saying, see what my body did? I am a part of an element that makes me a woman. I am now a mother. My body proves I am a mother. As a mother I want to feel strong again. I want to feel muscle and healthy. I am making a vow with myself that I will succeed and feel my body become strong over the next six months. (post doc go ahead). I want a body thats healthy and that is reflected when I look in the mirror. No more jello. I want to feel beautiful on the inside and outside. Wish me luck. (For the moment I am reveling in being a mother. holding my child is a gift that can never be compared to.)
