It's a Monday time for spam

Hi.

I've been singing "I can't get no motivation" to the tune of "I can't get no satisfaction" in my mind all morning.

emilyz320, aggiebug, @holachica, where are you ladies getting your yoga pants from nowadays? I have two nice pairs of lulu lemon that are long enough but I haven't been brave enough to try them on post pregnancy. I just ordered extra longs from VS online.

I'm hoping I'll be back in my jeans in time for football season....

[mrsclark731]

I want to say thank you to all who answered my baby wearing question on Saturday! We are pulling the trigger on the ergo 360!

I am still wearing my motherhood ones that are barely long enough. I did see that old navy has yoga pants in long though.

You guys... I just peed my pants. Like full on couldn't hold it and it just came out. I was coming back from a walk trying desperately to get dd out of the stroller. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Confession I really don't wear yoga pants. That being said, some friends gave me 2 pairs from target post partum and I was shocked they were long enough. They aren't super long, but definitely passable of you know what I mean.

Oh no! Your yoga pants?! Lol. Laugh because it's better than crying I had a c section and I surprised myself with a sneeze yesterday. It happens to everyone! 

Also so props for walking today already!

[mrsclark731]

@holachica,I gotta check out Zella. I'm planning on walking the mall with DD Wednesday and I'll be checking out out all Nordstrom active wear.

Thank you!

I second Zella pants from nordstrom. I'm not quite as tall as you all (I'm 5'9 or 10, somewhere on there), but the leggings are long enough and so comfy. They are also thick enough to not be super showy.

mumomma13, no skin overhang but I got a (shrinking thank gawd) FUPA. The silicone c section scar bandages I've been using have helped. It's only been about 2 weeks but my scar is less raised already.

Laugh. Just laugh it off.

danitaec and all you teachers

OH man, I'm totally going to print this out for our next meeting (Friday morning). The worst part for me is that I teach music, so 98% of what is discussed has absolutely nothing to do with me...

I think we are talking about the same thing, unfortunately.

I gave birth vaginally and I have a fupa. Ugh. My belly just kind of deflated and it all hangs out there now. I've never been a small girl by any means, but I always gain in the butt, hips and thighs. Nod I have this big belly and I hate it

[mrsclark731]

My first world problem at the moment--the cleaning lady is blocking in the truck even though I pulled it out of the garage so she'd park on the other side. She'll be done within 15 or so minutes I'm hoping, but it's throwing off my schedule. I could ask her to move it... But at this point I'll wait it out. There is only so much Mickey Mouse Clubhouse that will stall DD.

Speaking of getting back into pants, do any of my csection pals have the weird skin overhanging the scar? I know this is a gross picture, but my pants won't button because of it. I went and tried on new pants, but if the pants button, the legs and butt are hanging. I'm so sad. I love jeans.

I'm not sure if it's what you're talking about but my belly is tighter below the scar than above. It's improved with exercise so I think a lot of it's just that the muscles are looser, which makes sense if you think about all the manipulation during surgery on top of being pregnant.

I've seen a way to fix jeans like that with elastic along the back band. Could something like that help?

[danitaec]

OH, and I have an army crawler, y'all. It's adorable and makes me sad all at the same time!

[ace226]

I haven't run in a week. I did a 300 m sprint last Monday which flared up my shin splints (dang it!!!) so I was resting and cross training... Kind of. I'm going to try again today and hope DS will be okay in childcare! He used to be happy as a clam but the same day I reinjured myself he was bawling after only 20 minutes.
I love that he needs me... But mama needs a break.

Yes. That's what I mean. Something like that might work. I probably just need to be stricter with my diet and exercise too.

I noticed my core is so weak. I can do a handful of sit-ups before I'm done. Maybe that's normal but looking around the gym it seems like even casual patrons can do more without much effort! I'm hoping exercise will help that and my upper back pain more.

I'm sure you've seen them but there's lots of good core exercises on Pinterest. I use the ones I can but again, it's still so weak I can't even do a single rep of some. Like V-ups? LOL. Maybe it's just me but I can't get into that position and feel like a turtle on its back. Yikes.

I haven't been able to keep up with spam for what feels like weeks. This is my last week before I go back to work, so then I anticipate really being out of the loop on things.

Just wanted to pop in and say I hope everyone is doing well.

[cginge]

I forced myself to do a Body Attack class this morning. It kicked my mom butt. I am so out of shape, it's a little embarrassing.

mrsclark731, these are my favorite Zella pants. I hate typical capri style pants but these are really cute and comfy

Ummm... Those look amazingly comfortable. I would be shocked if those would actually be loose around my legs. I have big thighs and butt. I have seen Zella brand at Nordstrom rack but I have never tried them on. I might have to go search for a pair of these.

DH left DS on his blanket for 10 minutes yesterday and when DH came back in the room DS crawled 6 feet off of his blanket.

Ugh. Time to baby proof.

[ace226]

Update: run totally successful. Yeah! I had an hour to myself and I feel so much more ready to handle the day.

[toadandbuggie]

Totally dragging ass today. I want to nap all day but I have too many things to get done after not being home all weekend. Food store, laundry, general cleaning.... Blahhh Mondays.

Yes. I am so bummed. It wont go away like it did the first time. Everything is pretty much back to normal except for the giant pancake I have to tuck into my pants which makes me look huge.

[psychobutthead]

Trying to catch up on today's spam.

I feel like Daniel is super petite! He has just grown into 6-9 months this past week and everyone else's kids are 12 months already.

I feel the fupa struggle. ? lost weight and the damn thing still is hanging on me And DS was a vaginal delivery.

Right now I'm counting the hours until DH comes home with pizza. And waiting to make my great escape to school so I can head over to the bookstore and grab some Starbucks and enjoy it in peace.

[mishka29]

psychobutthead, Nope I've got a little peanut over here hanging around the 15% for weight and height.

Awesome! Daniel is super skinny compared to what my daughter was. His feet are tiny. He's just now grown into 3-6 sized socks and shoes.
