Bucket really wants me to get in shape.
Although I've lost a lot of the pregnancy weight, I've hit a plateau.
When that happens, the best way for me to get it off is to jog
(Because I'm not going to diet, I just love food too much!!!)
I decided to start that process today, and it hurt. Bad.
I was so out of shape, out of breath, out of energy.
I would run for a mile, then walk for a quarter.
But Bucket wasn't having it.
Whenever I'd start walking, he'd start crying.
It was like having a really tough personal trainer!

I know the half moon nails are what's hot, but I don't have any of those little stickers to help me do the new trend so I decided to do an "old school" french manicure with two shades of blue. I was pleasantly surprised how they turned out!

Bucket is adorably styling in his brights! the first time I went back to exercise after Alex I thought I was going to die...but it will get easier! I love that fun necklace!
I am in LOVE with your brights! And your nails are amazing! Where do you find the time to do a gorgeous mani with 3 kids?
Those bright skinnies are perfection and both you and Bucket look smashing.
Tell Bucket to go easy on you - doesn't he know you're a new mom?!!
oh my , I LOVE these colours! You look great, and the necklace is stunning as well. I welcome brights always. -xx
i think you look great claire! nice bucket outfit inspiration. i like all the accessories, & your nails too. can't wait to see how you style your other new target finds. :)

This is a great bright outfit Claire! Baby weight or not you look fabulous. Also, when I had my third (my daughter) I swore I could not loose the last of the weight. I hit a plateau just like you and I was really depressed about it. But my friend was a personal trainer and she said to try just giving up soda (which I already had) and then she had me start making smoothies every morning. You put in yogurt, frozen or fresh fruit, orange juice and a teaspoon of dry oatmeal. I don't know how it worked, but it did. And it keeps you full until right around lunch time.
it's amazing how quickly you could fit into your normal clothes, never mind about the little tummy, I have it too even though I gave birth long ago. You're doing well! Bucket is so cute! And he is also linking up to Trending through the decades:brights. You always look gorgeous in brights, I remember they were your pre-preganancy colors.

That certainly is a very motivating personal trainer. :) My girls use me as a jungle gym when I'm practicing yoga, which isn't very helpful.

Oh you're not the only one! I thought I was going to pop a lung when I went jogging the other day. Boy!!! Making me tired just thinking of it and I won't even mention the week of soreness that followed. I actually thought I really hurt myself! LOVING the colored and bright jeans :)

You are making me feel AWFUL - I tried on those jeans in the bright blue about a month ago and looked like a whale. While I am an 8 in grown-up lady size I had to try those on in a 13(!!) and it was muffin top galore. And here you are, post-pregnant, looking fab. I might hate you a wee tiny bit.
I love bucket!! lol and your nail polish! :)

I love these pretty bright colors and your awesome manicure! Maybe Bucket needs to help me get in shape too--I could use a personal trainer :)
You look so beautiful in these bright neon colours and I especially love your mani- I can't believe you did that free-hand! Bucket sounds like a great motivator- nothing gets you up and at em like a baby's cry!
i need to get a pair of white ones... here in miami they are kind of mandatory! ha!
Shut the front door! You LOOK GREAT! And I so love the colors your wearing! Those skinnies look fab on you! I'm so happy you're trying running! -Jessica
