Abs of Steel, Anyone?

Well, Hazel's two months old and I'm happy to report that I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight! However, my new body is shaped differently. While I'm delighted that my hips are trimmer than before, my stomach is much less pleasing to behold.

Todd has his two-week leave in March, and we're going to meet up here. . .

Italy!!!

We hope to impress each other with our new, hot bods. (Todd may be the only 30-year-old man I know who struggles to gain weight - he's been pumping iron like mad to try to beef up for me.) I'd really love my flat tummy back when he and I rendezvous. While I realize that may not be realistic, I'm asking for tips so I can try my best. What workout moves and activities have helped you or someone you know regain their abs post-baby?

you're finally doing it? is that cinque terre? SO cool! about the abs...my best friend in high school did one hundred crunches every night and her abs looked awesome in about three weeks. of course she watched what she ate and everything. i do a host of things in the gym that are hard to describe...but for MY body, i always have to do something that works my obliques, too, or else my tummy never looks nice.

ITALY??!! You guys deserve some fabulousness.

Sorry, no advice on the flat abs-- me and exercise have never been great friends.

Running helped my belly fat melt away but I'm not certain about prego belly fat.

Either way you'll be a hot mama. Enjoy Italy!!
