One minute you’re the cute pregnant lady crushing One minute you’re the cute pregnant lady crushing it at the gym, and the next everything is softer, weaker, and feels heavier. 

You no longer have the visual explanation 🤰 for how you’re feeling on the inside.

You may look “normal” again but you don’t feel yourself. 

Your clothes don’t fit like they used to. The weights are lighter than normal. The workouts don’t feel like they did before. 

You have to work to find yourself again. 

I always say exercising after birth is much harder than exercising pregnant. 

Keep showing up. Keep pushing. Keep rebuilding. 

The bump may be gone and with it go the compliments from strangers telling you that you’re doing a great job. If no one has told you lately, please know that you’re doing a super great job!! 

You birthed a whole human!! It isn’t selfish to take care of you, while taking care of them!!
