New Year's Resolution
May 2005-triathalon in AK 
Last night I was going through our photos trying to get all the "Salem shots" organized, when I came across a random photo folder of me and my "races before baby." I immediately freaked out and realized what my New Year's resolution was going to be. "Helloooooo, I want my pre-baby body back, and the hair that goes along with it"-- I am DONE with short hair and want the long locks back. Although, it seems that it doesn't matter how hard I work, my body WILL NOT go back to the way it was. I don't lift weights as much as I used to, but I do more cardio now and I can't get the thighs to shrink; they weren't small to begin with, but at least go back to the way you damn things were. Do any of you mommies feel the same way? I can fit into my "old clothes" but they don't fit the same. You always want what you don't have--- I swear. I thought I was fat before I had a kid, and now I would give almost anything to be where I was. Please don't get wrong, Salem is everything to me (and then some), but you still want to be hot--even more so after having a child. I need more wine!

It has only been a few months, you will get there! You look fantastic and many of us that have never had babies would love to be your size....pooh.
I have attempted to comment twice now. Needless to say, because I am super annoyed that my comment is now in never-never land I will summerize:
Let me just say that I was giving you a hard time about your post... especially, because your comment on my blog. Are you, super fitness freak, trying to freak me out about having this baby??
NO,NO,NO,----I'm not trying to freak you out. I just think, as women, our bodies NEVER go back to THE EXACT way they were before giving birth to a child. You might be skinnier in one place, but be heavier in another. It's a give and take situation. It's just very hard to explain.
However, I don't think you'll have a problem. And by that, I mean that you will for sure be able to go back to the same size you were before. The jeans just might fit a little different--at first, or forever. DON'T FREAK OUT!!! I am and its not getting me anywhere!
Yep, I understand what you mean. After I had Emmy, I feel like my bod was better in some ways and worse in others. I actually got to keep the bigger boobs! But I think I could have worked on toning back up a bit. I lost all the wieght and then some after her. Now that I've had Spencer... I lost the boobs :( I still want to lose just a few more lbs and start lifting weights. I fit in all my clothes but you're right, they just don't fit like they used to. I'm so glad I didn't get the stretch marks and other crap that some women have to deal with. As if giving birth isn't enough.
Noel, you look awesome! You are so beautiful and in great shape! I need you as my trainer.
Love, Mommie
You look great and the neat thing is that nobody other than you really notices those changes. Yes, I can fit into my old clothes, but for some reason the shirts all seem too short! I am definitely smaller overall though...I think that has a lot to do with breast feeding. All my pants are too big. You look great and still have a ways to go (it took 9 months to get that way give it 9 months to get back)...it only has been a few months. It took me 6-7 months.
