Please follow me on my journey to get my body back! I have huge goals, a ton of motivation (finally), and visions of being back to the old me.
Wow- it's been almost 5 years (May 18th, 2006) since I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy, Aiden. I know this sounds crazy but that's the "day" I lost my body. As a mom we give up so much. I was the WORST pregnant chick ever. I really took that "eating for two" thing to heart and did just that- I ate for two! I went from 135lbs when I found out I was pregnant to 194lbs the day I delivered. Needless to say, I didnt realize the amount of "work" that went into shedding baby weight. So I was lazy and did nothing to try and lose the weight. I seriously thought I'd go back to "normal" and that breastfeeding would help- nope and nope!
4 years later....I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl, Kamryn (April 25th, 2010). When I got pregnant with her I weighed 183lbs (Side note: yep, only kept off 11 lbs after having my son, did lose more but put it all back on when I stopped nursing- lowest I went was 165lbs). When I delivered Kamryn I weighed 224lbs. I never wanted to pass the 200 mark and got very depressed when I did. But I was pregnant and although I was not "okay" with the weight gain, I did want a healthy baby.
Today: February 22, 2011. Aiden is almost 5, Kamryn will be 10months in a few days and I'm still "FAT"! I have decided to start this weight loss blog to hold myself accountable, show and share my progress and achieve my goals!
To do list:
1. I will blog every single day until I meet my final goal.
2. I will weigh in once per week
3. I will eat healthier- but will not go on a diet or sacrifice the things that I love.
4. I will ONLY workout from home (with dvds and my hubbies new treadmill)
5. I will be 100% honest and tell every single thing that I have done to lose my weight.
Goals:
1. Return to my pre-pregnancy weight of 135lbs. before March 2012
2. Begin with and complete Jillian Micheals 30 day shred
3. Do the couch to 5k (again- only finish it this time)
4. Lose 2lbs per week. (hopefully more- but we'll see!)
5. Learn to eat healthier and DRINK MORE WATER!!!!
Rewards:
I will reward myself for every 10lbs I lose. Starting with small rewards and working towards big rewards. :-)
1st reward at 190lbs: Get a pedicure and 2hrs out alone
180lbs: buy a new pair of shoes
170 lbs: Get a massage
160lbs: An entire day out by myself
