Weight Loss

First and foremost, I want to say that I'm typing this while chowing down on some Haagen Dazs. So, so yummy. Now that I've gotten that confession out of the way, I want to say that I need to start getting serious about this whole weight loss thing again.

Before I got pregnant, I was 148 lbs. I then used pregnancy as an excuse to eat anything an everything. I continued to workout 5 days a week up until 28 weeks into my pregnancy and regardless of that, still ended up at 210lbs a couple of days before going into labor. I even had ny baby a month early. I can only imagine how much more weight I would've gained without the exercise and early labor.

I got my butt into gear about 6 weeks post partum. It was hard though, due to having a c-section. I started doing biggest loser bootcamp almost everyday with 8lb weights. When I finally got bored with that, I went to the gym and would work out anywhere from 40 min to 2 and a half hours. In 4 months, I made it down to 166lbs. It was awesome, but my self esteem was so low, I was still just plain fat and not good enough in my own eyes (my husband hates it when I say that, he thinks I'm sexy no matter what).

We went on vacation to meet each other's families and show off our baby and I went back up to 173lbs. It sucked, but man the food was good.

When we got back home, I was back into motivation mode. I was hitting up the gym and doing bodyrock.tv workouts. Then my motivation fizzled and died.

In march of this year, I found Stroller Strides. It was awesome. The ladies were so great to be around and I went down a pants size the first month. I did that 5 days a week until last month. Last month I started only going 3 days. Then this month, I started having a bunch of morning appointments and then I sprained my ankle. So I just stopped going.

I'm down to 152.8lbs as of this morning, but I still have 18 more pounds to go for my goal weight. If I can reach my goal body type before then though, I'll be happy with that.

I just ordered turbo fire and should be getting it any day now. I'm so excited to start. I've also been doing C25K. I'm only on week 1 day 3, but I really enjoy it.
