Muffin Top

So, to anyone out there who has had babies, you will understand the "muffin top". The squishy, flabby skin that has been stretched out with pregnancy and takes a while to suck back in. This, my friends, is the thorn in my side.

There are three solutions that I have come up with. 1) Wear spanx all the time (if you don't know what spanx are, google it. they're amazing), 2)wear really high waisted jeans (never a good look...), 3) Loose weight and hope that the skin goes back in. I'm opting for the third option, not a fun one, but the most practical.

The baby weight seem to come off pretty fast with Conner and Courtney, but with the twins, the last 15 pounds or so (to get back to high school weight- one can dream, right?), is just hanging on. This is partly due to the fact that my legs just started healing from some problems I was having with walking, and also because I love food and it's the holidays.

That said, I am started my New Year's Resolution early. My birthday is a month away, and although I won't be able to loose 15 pounds in 4 weeks (safely, that is), I can put a dent in the weight.

Wish me luck! They say if you write down your goal you're more likely to finish it. I thought if I took it one step further and wrote it down in cyberspace, where everyone can read it, I would have no excuse to fail!

Now, I must go and throw away all the treats that are left over from the holidays...
