Memo to Mckenzie's Post Pregnancy Body
Dear Mckenzie's Post Pregnancy Body:
Mckenzie would like to acknowledge and thank you for the the excellent work that you, her body, performed during the time period of January '09 to October '09 on the "Growing A Baby" Project. However, it has been 6 weeks since this project was completed and closed out. While Mckenzie understands that this was a great accomplishment and you would like people to remember and see the outcome of your great work for a long time to come, it is time to pack up any remaining evidence of such project and return to normal operating procedures immediately. Your boss, Mckenzie, would like to assign the following tasks to your team members to be completed without any further delay:
Team Member Hips: While you worked hard to prepare for the passage of said baby. Those of us here at Mckenzie's Body are getting tired of you walking around boasting that you have accomplished such task. We feel that it is only fair that you shrink back down to pre-birthing hip size until your next baby project.
Team Member Stomach: Your boss Mckenzie recognizes you for suffering perhaps the most abuse during your work on the baby project, however your behavior after the project has caused your boss Mckenzie the greatest cause for concern and embarrassment. She feels that you have had ample time to deal with your emotional and physical issues and it is high time you return back to normal. She does not like to look like she is smuggling an inter tube under her shirt wherever she goes. It is time to flatten down, and tighten up.
Team Member Hormones: You hold a position of leadership and authority over all aforementioned team members, and as their supervisor you must take you orders seriously. As of lately, you are what we in the body business like to refer to as a "Hot Mess." It is time to disembark from the exciting roller coaster that you have been able to ride on in the past months and find stable footing on the ground. While your day to day stabilizing work may seem boring, it is imperative to the other team members, who will not be able to achieve their goals without your guidance and support. Sure, everyone loves a crazy person, but only for a little while. Your time of careless fun is up. It is time to get back to the daily grind.
As you, Mckenzie's Body, works to regain your pre-pregnancy status and routine, you will see an increase in Mckenzie's happiness and an abundance of joy in her life. Do not worry, just because you will have to leave your memories of this baby making project behind, does not mean that you will never be needed again. She hopes to open new baby cases in the not too distant future, and we will need you refreshed and repaired when that time comes. With all the thanks in my heart I give you a final dismissal from this project, and declare that it was a huge success!!!

Your hips may never return to what they were before. As for everything else, Exercise. It has the power to give you happy endorphines, flatten your belly and tighten it up. Good luck with the task at hand.
Even though I haven't had a baby I want to join in this new process! I wish you lived closer... I seriously need a work out buddy. I'm behind you all the way. Two words: Running Stroller.
And I love your little "letter" to your body. I wish it took orders for real, that would be heaven.
Oh, Kenze this was hilarious. I really enjoyed every line! And I'm with you and Joni, why can't we just command these bodies to do what we want and they would magically obey?! Heaven, indeed.
You are being way to hard on yourself hun. YOU JUST HAD A BABY! Small steps and dedication is what it takes. Have confidence that you can get back to those skinny jeans cuz you can. Just stick to the program. When I am in Utah for Christmas I would to get with you and teach you a few things. Getting back from Brazil, now a month and 1/2 I have been able to loose 14 lbs. I didn't even know I had that much to loose. But truely, its all about the little things, picking the work out that works for YOU and sticking with it. Love you hun. Quit beating yourself up. You are beautiful.
You kill me. Ya know, to lose the baby weight fast with London and Madden, I did legs hard three days a week in addition to lifting my other body parts. Legs is a huge calorie burner and a big core tightener. The weight should start falling off. And don't worry, everything will go back the same, except your boobs. They'll never be the same again:) This is Shelley By the Way!
