afrofoto day 3 | my hat is not a snapback, but have i snapped back?

Yesterday was day 10 and that's what I committed to AND I owe you guys 3 other posts so let me render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's.

The afrofoto is not of the nearly snapped back African mother's body...no. It's of the floppy sunhat I have loved for years my mom got me in Ghana. There's nothing particular spectacular about the hat, but it's strikingly unique in a simple way. The brim isn't too large or stiff and the print, though colorful, isn't loud. I've worn this hat so many times and always take it with me when traveling because it folds and it versatile and the brim holds up after being scrunched up between waaaayy more clothes than I need in suitcases on 13+ hour long flights.

This past Sunday was so much hotter than the rest of the previous weeks have been so when headed out I knew to lather the sunscreen on and wear a hat to protect my face. I wish I had some hats like this for baby (I'll let my mom know) because I know they'd be a comfortable wear. 

Since I mentioned the nearly snapped back African mother's body, I might as well indulge you guys. 

To be completely honest, it hasn't been easy getting back in shape (the literal shape I was in pre-preggo) because someone told me starting to work out for a breastfeeding mom would reduce supply. I looked it up of course and like anything many humans experience there are strong opinions on that and the complete opposite. I decided not to take my chances since I'd committed myself to breastfeeding exclusively. My supply's been good and baby is now starting on foods so I decided TODAY to get on my "fitness journey" (the " " are especially true). I did my first crunches probably in a year - 30 of them! Whoohoo and I know I'm going to suffer if/when I laugh tomorrow, but no pain no gain. I'll do it again tomorrow and take it small small, un peu un peu, mbijana mbijana, poco a poco...we will get back to the 4 pack. I've been eating healthy before, during and after delivery so we're good on the food front. I might show you guys some progress pictures in a few months.
