The Thing I Hate The Most!!

I suppose I knew that sooner or later, this day would finally arrive. I mean, lets face it, after 4 babies, we aren’t exactly walking around in the same physical conditions like we were in the year 2006 when baby making at the Bailey house began!

To be honest, if I had been included on the conversation of baby weight when the Good Lord was up there thinking away, I would have just slipped in the suggestion that it should just disappear into thin air the minute you deliver the miracle into the world. However, my opinion in that matter was clearly unheard!

So here I sit, thinking back to the many cravings I have had these past 5 years! The Oreo Cakesters or E.L. Fudge Stripe cookies I loved so with Charlie and Wylie’s pregnancy, the boxes of Milk Duds I consumed with Bess and the gallons of McDonald’s Sweet Tea I consumed with Ben- all these cravings – Oh how I loved them so! Now, I have granola, yogurt and water to look forward to. I know somehow I will manage but my how great were the Pregnancy Eating Days?!

So while I was sulking about the fact that baby weight doesn’t appear to just “fall” off- I had a change in attitude and decided to get myself a trainer! Someone to motivate, drive and push me. Someone to jam out to a great song to pass the time. Someone who would listen to my crazy ideas that develop when I actually have me time to think!

Yes- A trainer I needed and a trainer I found!

Meet my trainer- Baby Otis!

Today Otis and I started off this new week with a new attitude. We are not pregnant- therefore, we shall not eat as though we are!

Me and this studly fellow hustled it around RH today on Operation Return to Pre-Pregnancy! I must say, he was a great BFF to have by my side. Well behaved, protective and fast paced!

So, it is official. Otis and I are on a “plan” . It may be slow and steady but this good ol’ dog doesn’t mind walking 900 miles if he has to. So, I figure I have some good company seeing as how this is going to take a while!

Bless this sweet love! He is gearing up for tomorrow’s adventure on the Skinny Train!
