Letter to My Body
Dearest Body,
I have much to apologize for, and I hope that you will find it in your heart to forgive me.
I have taken so much from you in the past 4.5 years without giving much in return. Now that I am finally doing some strengthening exercises, I feel that this is exactly what you have needed all along. You needed me to rebuild my core after Henry and then again after Tate. I skipped straight to running (sporadically) instead. The most I did to strengthen my core was get a really good deal on Momma Strong and then proceed to get overwhelmed by the length of the postpartum sessions.
You helped me birth two healthy babies and you keep up with my demanding schedule. You have so few complaints.
I am so grateful for you and want to work hard not to take advantage of you again. Your capacity is limited, and I want to do my part to support and extend that capacity.

Give Momma Strong another try! There's a whole new program that's far shorter for those needing core re-integration! Try di recti or core camp. You can do it! There's a huge tribe of us all supporting you!
Thanks so much, Maureen! It does seem like a really supportive bunch. I hope all is well with you!
Hey Sara, you might consider Mutu. In addition to being a very carefully thought-out program, it's got an exclusive Facebook group that is incredibly supportive and helpful. It's also relatively inexpensive. Good luck, and I'm right there with you (along with thousands of others)!
Thanks for the heads-up, Molly! I had never heard of that!
I love these jeans you're wearing...any chance I could find them and buy them? What brand? Thanks!
Hi, MLC! I always get my jeans at GAP. I got those at the outlet store, so they are a little wonky in the pocket area but I keep on wearing them!
Thanks, Sara. I shopped there today and found some jeans I quite like. It may now be my go to store for jeans.
That's great news, MLC! For some reason they fit me really well. I love GAP jeans!
