What a week I’ve have had!! On
June 28th at 10:15 am my beautiful grandson, Lennon, was born. He
was due June 19th but came in his own perfect time. Not only was I
anxious and excited about his arrival I was also on edge about my daughter
giving birth again. After she had her first child things got scary very quickly!
Without going into details I'll just say I was a terrified mess after she gave
birth the first time and all we could do is wait, waiting with that ‘blood
running cold, scared, pale faced and nervous wreck’ kind of waiting. Obviously
she came through, praise God, but her having another child was exciting and
terrifying all at the same time. Things ran so smooth this time, she had a
wonderful experience and Lennon came out perfect! As we waited for the birth,
we played with our five year old grandson, I did lunges, planks and squats in
the waiting room and took a mile long walk around the birthing center which was
located in the center of Amish country surrounded by farm land and serene
beauty everywhere. So, now that we are out of the woodworks, our precious
grandson is here and I'm not glued to my phone waiting for “the call”, I will
get back on track.
Ok, let's talk about
cellulite, every woman's favorite subject! NOT!!! I feel like if my legs were
free of the “C” word I'd walk around in short shorts and not care how big my
legs were. I see heavy set girls without “C” and they look great! Babies are
born with it (and look cute as all get out with it, why can't I?), at what
point does it go away and WHY does it have to come back?!!! As I see muscle
definition and improvement in my legs I have a hard time getting past the “C”!
What's the secret? How does it go away? Does it go away? As in any weight
loss/get fit regiment, I feel that achieving a “C” free body is a major part of
the goal. I've been lifting weights, lunging, squatting, planking, leg lifting,
walking, biking and yoga’n and still I have it. I've googled and tried so many
“treatments” and still, there it is!! Life without “C” would be so kind, like
walking up to door with a glass screen door (have you noticed that “C” doesn't
show up in glass screen door images? Lol), as I do at work everyday when
delivering mail and seeing the shape of your legs without the “C” and thinking
“wow, not bad, that's what my legs would look like without it!” It's just
something I realized is always a factor for me. Per the Internet and what
improves the “C”, I'm already doing them so if anyone has any exercises, lifts
or moves that has personally helped in this area, I'd
love to hear about them.
I'm ready to get real! I'm ready
to up the anti, move to the next step, jump in with both feet! Since I'm not
weighing in until July 25th I am feeling the need to at least go get
my body analyzed so I have something to go by. I know my body fat has reduced
and I wish I would have started this journey with getting my body analyzed but
better late than never. The way I'm looking at this is that I'm going forward
and learning as I go and there is no looking back.
Who's moved their bodies
today? This is a daily question that us Driven girls ask each other and it's
become the question I wake up with and its the inspiration to get me to move. What
would I do without them? 😘
Until next week,
Peace, Panda
