Just want you to know...

Cathe,

First of all, I hope all is going well with you and you recover completely soon.

My little Brooke is almost 6 months old and I have now lost all my pregnancy weight(I gained 35 pounds). In fact, I've changed my goal weight since I would still like to lose a few beyond that. I just want you to know you have changed my life. Not only was my pregnancy easier because of your workouts(in fact, I did IMAX 3 modified the day I went into labor and did PUB 1 1/2 weeks after she was born), but I only pushed for 15 minutes!(TMI, Sorry) The nurses even commented how they couldn't believe how low my heart rate stayed during labor.
I used to hate working out and it was a chore. Now, it is my stress reliever and my sanity and I can't imagine life without it. I now wake up at 5am every morning to get my Cathe "fix" before Brooke starts the day. I feel better, stronger and more confident now than any other time in my life.

Thanks for being so inspirational and helping me achieve my goals.

Congratulations Wendy! Awe, how precious little Brooke is. I just peeked at your picture trail ( I loved looking at your fun pic's ). Based on the pic's it looks like Brooke has her mommy and her mommy's mommy's eyes. Its hard to tell when they are not moving around though because that is when you see their little mannerisms and facial expressions. I find my my children go in and out of looking like different family members at different stages in their growth.

Congratulations on getting back to your pre-pregnancy weight. All moms know how much work is involved in achieving this. I love your motivation and enthusiasm toward your weight loss program. You obviously are doing great and will continue to do so with your wonderful attitude. Keep up the great work Mom
