Kick-off is 13 hours away

PCP starts tomorrow.

Am nervous and excited at the same time. Mainly as I have taken a leap of faith in undertaking this adventure. I haven't really spoken in depth to people who have completed or partially completed the PCP but I skimmed a few of the blogs and felt compelled to sign up.

My baby is now 8 months old and yet I am still the size of a small car.  The baby weight just doesn't want to drop off.  I have zero muscle tone in my abs and a "shelf" where the c-section scar is healing.  Am excited to be doing something proactive for my health but am nervous as I am wondering how my 40 year old post partum body will cope.  I feel a bit cheated as I was told that breast feeding is the "best diet of your life" and that some women were in better shape than before they were pregnant.  "Who are these women?" I want to know.

I am looking forward to more energy to chase around my soon to be walking baby, to fit back into my work suits for when I start back next month and to appear more yummy than mummy for my long suffering and super fit husband.
