For me to start getting serious about losing my baby weight. It's been difficult with the lack of sleep and always wearing baggy clothes, but now that I have exactly one more month of maternity leave it's time to hit the gym. Luckily I have a great father who is the perfect workout buddy for me. Last night we went to the gym and I pushed myself to do 35 minutes of cardio (and let me tell you, after a one year hiatus from the gym it wasn't easy) but I felt great after. That is until I got into a minor car accident after the gym...not my fault though, I was parked and someone backed into me.
Tonight I went again even though I really didn't want to, but he called and so I joined him. Once I got on the machine my father came up to me and goes "You better lose that weight or you will lose your husband...maybe not today or in two years, but ten years from now...." Of course I didn't take him seriously, but it definitely gave me a good kick in the butt. I do want to look sexy for my husband, it's something my mother always told me is important. That taking care of oneself should be a priority and to not let myself go and become lazy. I came home and joked about it with my husband, but I think we both want to look our best for one another.
My body definitely feels a bit banged up after pregnancy. For example I have carpal tunnel on my right hand. My thumb hurts as if I had broken it and is always worse in the mornings. My left wrist hurts like it did in college when I had tendanitis. I got it from breastfeeding Max and holding his heavy body up, and last but not least my lower back really hurts after my workouts. I guess I'm getting older, but still, I'm only 30!
From now on I'm going to post every Thursday and post about my weight loss regiment. My goal is to get back to 115 lbs in three months. In order to do that I will be ordering Nutrisystem for when I go back to work along with the goals I achieved or didn't for the week. McFatty Thursdays here I come! I will be posting weekly pictures of my body until I get back to my skinny self. I am mortified to be doing this since I'm embarrassed about my body at the moment but I was pregnant and it is what it is. Don't mind the no make up or hair, but I'm being puked or peed on all day long so it is what it is at the moment. Let the diet begin- I want my old body back now!
Weight: 134 pounds
Girl, you really don't look bad considering you just had a baby. I understand the desire to bounce back immediately, and I also understand the desire to not let yourself go. You'll get there! Don't be hard on yourself. You're by far smaller than me now, even when you were 9 months pregnant. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks hon, it's just difficult. I was okay being pregnant and gaining the weight but now i'm so over it haha I have been eating what I want and not working out since I couldn't, but now that i can it's go time! And you look fantastic, we will both get there eventually!
