I haven't done my official weigh in yet, but this morning I was at 142 lbs. I know it doesnt seem like a lot, but it is to me. None of my pre baby clothes fit, I refused to buy any larger clothes but had to cave in when I kept wearing leggings to work and my husband asked if that was all I was wearing now. -_- not cool! I figured if my husband was now commenting about my fashion I had to get some decent clothes.
Back to my weight, I've always been health consious because of my family history with high blood pressure, high cholestrol, and diebetes. I splured here and there, dont we all? During my pregnancy I splured some but surprisingly I did not gain a lot of weight, I still fit into a size 4 after having baby boy Liam. Now I can barely squeeze into a size 6, I am probably more of a size 8. The biggest issue I have been faced with lately is back pain, I was in a car accident a few months ago and because my core strength was none existant I have not been able to recover. It's better now, but any little thing can agrivate it. I know the answer is building strength.
I have not been at this weight for a long time, even when I weighed my heaviest after high school was 135, and during high school my senior year I was where I am now at an average 145lbs. I feel lathargic and over heating most of the time. I've never been a nap person but now I feel like I have to take one in order to get through the day.
I am ready to get back my energy, my confidence, and most important my health. I need to keep up with my kids. Baby boy is now 10 months old and I am still calling it "baby weight" - not any more!
I said to my sister in law if I dont lose weight by when we need to start packing for Hawaii, I am not going. She looked at me and said "the tickets are not refundable"...you can go without me...JK! but I refuse to wear the mommy bathing suit just yet...
