As far as your last point, I highly recommend that you engage your man's help to vigorously massage the area. This should help significantly as well as keep morale high.Ok...I finally motivated! I actually went with a different workout, than originally planned, with a little bit more intensity...

-Hip circles
-Torso twist

Immediately followed by laying on the floor for a few minutes! I clearly underestimated the low impact intervals. I thought it would be a good idea to put on sweat pants & a long sleeve shirt.. to ensure sweating & calorie burn. Well....

I definitely was sweating!!
I'm definitely feeling leaning...especially after putting on those sweat pants this morning. I had to tighten the drawstrings on them. Another area (sorry if this TMI) I'm noticing is shrinking is my breasts. I had a lot of fat stores there post baby....and they seem to be leaving me as well. Which I'm not complaining about...maybe they'll perk back up while they're at it!
ps brother, you owe me
