backincontrol's Journal, 09 March 2014

So after a good week of loss, I checked the carbs in bacon and scrambled eggs, only a few, so I asked the hubby to make us some yummy breakfast. It was very good without over indulgence! It allows me to save my carb intake for an activia or some fruit later. The hubby also set forth on offering me a challenge for an hour of exercise a day and I graciously accepted,so starting tomorrow I will be heading to the gym after work. I offered him a challenge as well, no alcohol intake until there is at least a 10 lb. loss. He has agreed to this.
I have a major question for some of the ladies out their who may have had C-Section births, I had a bikini cut C-section with two of my children. My problem lies with the fact that the fat hangs on my belly like an apron, I am bottom heavy so it's mostly from the waist down. Are there any exercises you have found that work better for this area than just crunches? I need to strengthen my abs, but find crunches and sit ups really put a strain on my back.

That is always a tough area to tackle. I had 3 c-sections and it never truly went away, but I have to say when I was in my optimal weight range it wasn't very noticeable to anyone but me. Just keep tackling the wight loss and target that area the best you can and it should at least improve! I did pilates which had a lot of focus on the core, I think that helped a lot too. We did positions like the plank that forced the body to get used to pulling in the gut.
