No, not this kind silly! That's the kind you eat, which gives you another type of muffin top. Pregnancy and the after effects of a baby exiting your body will also give you a muffin top. I won't post a picture of mine because I'm just not that brave. I also won't post one from the Internet as it's not very pleasing to look at. You can google it if you are really lost:) Anyway, I had one with Svea and it eventually melted away. I am currently working on this one too. I've now lost 26 lbs. and have 4 to go, but technically 6.5 since I was still 2.5 lbs. away from my pre-pregnancy before Svea weight when I got pregnant with Kieran. Are you still following? My concern is that when I look at my muffin top, or gently grab it's ear for a stern lecture it feels a lot thicker than just a measly 6.5 lbs. I'm afraid that just eating well and the occasional walk may not melt this one away. So, I've started to weight lift (ok, one time so far) and I really like Jillian Michaels kettle bell work-outs. My Mom got it for me for my birthday last year. I did it once and then found out I was pregnant the next day. Jillian sat on the shelf....until now:) Don't tell Jillian that when she says, "Are you hurting, then this is NOT the time to stop. This is the sprint to the end", that I usually have already stopped for a rest and have been checking out her killer abs. (pick up jaw here) I'll get there, I think, and when I do, I'll call Jillian and say watch me, watch me:) But for now I am content to continue to work on these last few pounds and squeeze in the occasional work-out here and there.
My long term goal would be to eventually be able to take up running and biking again. I'm that weird percentage of the population that if I'm in decent shape LOVE getting into a zone and running. If I can start biking again too next summer I'd also like to do another triathlon. I haven't done one in four years....I was busy having babies, yo! The swimming part is easy, it's all in the breathing..didn't anyone ever tell you that? It took me two years as a lifeguard to figure that one out as I struggled through the 500 mile timed swim and was the only one doing the breast stroke instead of the freestyle since I couldn't do more than two laps without losing a lung. Embarrassing would be an understatement. Once I realized I didn't need to sprint the whole darn thing I could then jump in a swim a mile in a half hour without much thought. So, if you are still reading and aren't bored out of your mind I will keep occasionally posting about my pregnancy weight loss because it helps keep me motivated. Well, that and those two pairs of skinny jeans that I bought that fit, but still develop a small muffin top when I wear them:)
I'll leave you with one of our favorite television commercials. The song is from LMFAO (don't google that Grandpa) and is one of my fav work-out songs. Did you hear they broke up? I've been devastated...what am I going to dance to NOW?
