mom body.

So I posted this photo yesterday on my Instagram story. I debated posting it, but having just finished a 4 mile run on a 70 degree February day had me feeling optimistic about life. 

This morning as I was looking at who viewed this photo (we all do it) I felt embarrassed. I was looking at my muffin top and I was wondering who in their right mind would have posted that photo.  But I'm a mom.

Thats right I'm a mom!!

I try my best to exercise and eat right, but sometimes I sit on my butt and eat a whole package of gum drop cinnamon hearts (true story). I love my son more than anything and I know when he looks at me he doesn't see muffin top or stretch marks. He sees his mommy. 

Growing a baby was hard and taking care of him is proving to be just as difficult. I didn't expect my body to change so much, but I wear my new skin proudly.  At least I try to. 

I support the mom-bod and I think all moms need to love their bodies. 

This is me the day I found out I was pregnant.

This is me 8 days before Albert was born, and 40lbs heavier.
