My Journey!


So, I have this crazy goal to lose a bunch of weight. I actually have been on this journey for years LOL but this time, it's for real! And I'm almost half way there in 3 months! I have given myself mini goals, but the ultimate goal is 100 lbs by the end of this year. I hope I can do it.
How am I doing this, you ask?
1) Breastfeeding.
2) Eating what I want most of the time, and then eating healthy some of the time. ;) 
3) Working out an hour a day 5-6 days a week. I was actually doing really good with this for about a month, then the schedule kept getting screwed up so I couldn't make it to most of the classes, BUT, I am getting back into it...Tomorrow (only because my boobies hurt from being engorged last night and today) so, tomorrow it is. Woohoo!

I met one of my bigger goals today. I wanted to lose ALL my baby weight. I started out overweight to begin with but I felt like this was a reasonable goal. As of today, I am 1lb less than I was at my first doctors appointment with my first pregnancy. By the time I got pregnant with Braxton, I was up 10 lbs from that. And then continued to gain a total of 36 lbs throughout that pregnacy.

Here are some pictures to prove that I'm doing something right...
39 weeks, Peak of my pregnancy weight...

 The day before I had Braxon, I was already down 2 lbs from my peak. The day I had him I weighed myself that night, before I left the birth center, I lost 11 more lbs.

4 days after having Braxton 1/22/12, down 19 lbs from peak prego weight...

2 Weeks after delivery, I was down 28 lbs from my peak.

3 months later 4/24/12, down 47 lbs from my peak weight...

I love seeing the difference, it gives me motivation.
