Postpartum Athleisure

I recently wrote this on instagram and I think it pretty much sums up how I feel about getting my body back after pregnancy.

“7 weeks postpartum. Looking THIIIIIICK 🍑 I’m learning to embrace my new curves and belly on the road to getting back on my fitness journey. I’m looking forward to a proper “snapback”, but not in a rush. My body has been through a lot – including surgery. Past few days I’ve switched to a no dairy, no soy diet to protect my little guy’s sensitive stomach. Breastfeeding/pumping is hard, but I’m proud of myself.”

I’m just gonna say it. “Athleisure”, THANK GOD it’s trending. There are so many cute and comfy options to choose from now. As a new mom, I’m so grateful. Clothes like these are flexible, can get beat up, wash easily, and are simple to put together. The past few months I’ve been LIVING in tank tops and leggings.  It’s such a blessing to be able to step outside of the house wearing the same thing, and not feel like a slob. All I needed was to layer some cute necklaces, fix my top knot bun, and head out.

Being a parent, or even simply a busy person is hard work. Athleisure is the break you need from the fabulous high-maintenance heels, and skin-tight jeans. It’s the perfect negotiation between comfort and style.
