lose the baby weight

Okay, people I have just indulged in a ton of halloween candy and so now it is official. Time to lose the baby fat. My goal is to be 20 lbs lighter by Christmas. Wish me luck

Last week I was down to 161…gradually achieving my goal…gradually.

Well, I lost about another five lbs. but I’m not sure how. About to start a new diet.

Ok, ill admit. I havent been on here in a while. Ive lost track of what I was doing. I’ve slacked off quite a bit and havent lost any weight. I cant keep doing this. I need to get myself and my body back. I want to be a role model for my kids and my husband. I dont want to be looked at as the person who just “let myself go”. I need to start working on this again!

I know I said I wouldn’t be dieting, but I am now watching what I’m eating closer. I’m trying to follow portion sizes based on the packaging (ex. 2 oz of whole wheat pasta or 3/4 cup of Cocoa Puffs). Hopefully this will help.

After Willow was born I was a little over 9 stone, with just a little exercise and no dieting I am now down to 8 st 6 lbs, which is actually lighter than I was going to try and get whilst breastfeeding – however, if the weight is slowly coming off me, Im not going to complain or try and stop it! There might even be a chance that by Christmas Ill be down to by 8st goal, will have to wait and see.

So for now Im not going to actively try and lose weight, but Im going to keep active and try not to eat too much crap (although a little is allowed and Im not giving anything up!) Ultimately my goal is to get down to 8st and see how that feels and whether it allows me to slip back into my pre-mummy-days clothing!

Yesterday I ate healthy. No fast food, no junk food, no soda. I feel better already. I hope Im on the right track and can lose this weight. I am going to try to get out and excersize today. It’s going to be difficult with the kids, but maybe for today I’ll just stick with a simple walk. It’s better than sitting home and not doing anything.

Im cutting out all the junk food (chips, candy, soda, etc). Im going to limit what I eat. No more binging when Im upset, angry, depressed, etc. I will start drinking more water so I dont need to feel like I am hungry all the time. I am going to start working out at least every other day for 30 minutes. And if I dont like it, or Im too tired, Im going to suck it up and do it anyway, because I NEED TO! I need to feel like Im attractive again, be a role model for my kids instead of being overweight, and be sexy for my husband of course!!

Im On A Mission :)

I have three beautiful children that I love more than life itself. A 3 yr old daughter, 2 yr old son, and 13 week old daughter. Of course having my kids so close together kind of ruined my body. I was 130 lbs when I got pregnant with my first daughter. Then flucuated from 130lbs, 187lbs (day I delivered), 140lbs (9 months post pregnancy). Found out I was pregnant with my son, went from 140lbs, 199lbs (day I delivered), 140lbs (1 yr post pregnancy). Got pregnant with my youngest daughter 140lbs, 200lbs (day I delivered), 167lbs (13 weeks post pregnancy – Now). You can imagine the amount of stretch marks on my stomach and legs that also came with this. I am determined to lose this weight. For myself, my kids, and of course for my poor husband that has to look at me :)

I didn’t weigh myself this morning, so I’m not sure of what I currently weigh.

I DID buy an exercise ball yesterday, so I’ve been practicing some exercises using the ball.
