Quick Workout yet effective

Today I did a nice little kettlebell workout in my backyard. It felt really good to get back in to it. I was very shakey because it has been so long. Keeping it short was best for me so I can work on keeping good form without getting too fatigued. Right now just trying to focus on getting my basic strength back. I repeated each sequence twice.

Windmill 18lb 3
TGU 18lb 2 (challenging, use to be able to do it with 35lb kettlebell)

Deadlift 2 26lb 10

Kettlebell Push-ups 5
Swings 18lb 20
Single Front Squat 18lb 5L and 5R

Walked 2 miles with the stroller up and down hills.

What Doctor's don't tell you after a C-section

I have now been through 2 C-sections since writing this blog post and thankfully I've recovered beautifully from both with the appropriate progressions. For those who are new and are just finding me. WELCOME! First let me say I did NOT want a C-section. I did everything in my power to avoid the first and even the second.

5 Year Blog Anniversary and Giveaway

My blog was born March 10th of 2007, 5 years ago, with this post that started it all. It all started 6 weeks after giving birth to my first baby. The purpose of this blog was to share my journey of embarking as a new mother recovering from a C-section, lost strength, and fitness. I wanted to share my struggles and perseverance in getting back to my pre-pregnancy self all while enjoying my new road in to motherhood. I felt this was an easy and convenient way for friends and family that live all over the world, to see photos of my children and updates about our life. What an amazing experience it has been for me. I never thought blogging my experiences would turn in to so much more. Through my blogging I got the chance to connect with so many wonderful people around the world. I never fully understood how powerful the stories would effect so many people. It's truly been an honor. Being able to continue to drive motivation and hope in to someones life by sharing my life
