My 30's

Say Goodbye to Mom Butt!

It’s amazing what growing a tiny human being inside for nine months can do to your body.  While some changes can be positive, like the increase in breast size, most are unfortunately negative. 

For those of you who have not yet experienced child-birth (from either end of the stirrups),  things look a bit different after a woman “squeezes a watermelon through her nostril.”  She will have much fuller lips than before, but in a very different way than Angelina Jolie.  It will appear as though a spare tire was lodged underneath the skin of her midsection and her cute little rear end will be replaced with two flat hamhocks.   

I remember talking to my mother one day, after having my little boy.  I had lost most of the baby weight, by doing Winsor Pilates, but couldn’t figure out what had happened to my once perky and round behind.  It vanished and left behind the infamous MOM BUTT. 

“My butt is so flat”… I remember mentioning. 

To which I didn’t get much of a response…which either indicates some type of agreement or a lack of a positive comment!

Keeping up with the Pilates definitely helped get my lady lumps near their pre-baby form, but they still showed remnants of motherhood.  (wow, did I really just call them lady lumps?)  No matter how many leg lifts or painful clams I did with Pilates, I couldn’t seem to get the sides to recede. 

Pilates successfully eliminated my mom derriere, but I still wanted to get its 20-year-old shape back… if at all possible.  So, in hopes of getting back some part of my youth, I ended up ordering my second infomercial workout, the Brazil Butt Lift

In an effort not to sound like one of the women in the commercial sharing her amazing success story, I will just say… This workout is a MUST HAVE for any single, married or divorced mother!  (or any woman for that matter!)

It is a difficult workout, but worth every sore muscle…and you will find butt muscles you never knew you had after each workout!  It kicks my a@# every time, literally.  If I find myself wanting to stop, or perhaps cry at the burning sensation attacking my butt and thighs, I picture the ladies of SNL in their Mom Jeans.  I can then block out the pain with visions of my new and improved mom butt in a skimpy swimsuit this summer!

Goodbye Mom Butt, Hello Brazilian Bum!
