Swimming with my kids this summer!

I recently had my third child and gained a ton of weight. I have two older ones and I don't want to miss out on swimming with them because of my weight. I am very self conscious so I want to feel the freedom I felt a few years ago when I was at a decent weight! Would love to find some good role models to help me along my journey! ;)

    I'm not much of a role model, but I can relate. I just had a baby and I'm still struggling losing the baby fat. Funny, I didn't think it will be this hard. I used to be very fit, I did martial arts for 11 years, so my body should know how to bounce back.... It just didn't and I am left with about 12 pounds on my belly and back.

    And I am no stranger to exercising but the food is killing me. I eat when I am tired... And, you know, you are constantly tired with a new baby :)))

    So, I am extending a friendly hand. I am more than happy to try to keep you motivated.
