lose the baby weight

Well, 10 days from when Gabriel was born, and I’m over 25 lbs down so far. Only 25 left to go…and then maybe a few more after that ;)

Ok, so I haven’t even had my baby yet, but this is something that I really do think about a lot.

I still don’t know how much I will end up gaining, since I still have about 10 weeks left in my pregnancy. But, what I do know is that I want to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight.

And I don’t me the pre-pregnancy weight right before I got pregnant, because I had gained a few pounds when I moved back to CA. I mean the pre-pregnancy weight that I was when we were still in Boston. My initial goal will be to get back down to 130 lbs. I would like to lose a few more pounds than that, but keeping the weight off is most important. I’m planning on breast feeding, so that will hopefully give me a good kick-start.

I thank God every day that Walter loves me at any weight. He’s made it very clear that he will never put pressure on me weight-wise, which is really nice. I love him so much for being so wonderful.

But I need to do this for me.
