Progress

Well I started out at 209 pounds post-pregnancy, and not being able to breast feed didn't help my weight loss either. So to you lucky Mommas who just breast feed and watch the pounds fall off- I hope you know how lucky you are! Anyways, I am now down to just about 160 pounds at 5 months postpartum and it has been hard. I should celebrate losing 40 pounds right? I did a happy dance, but I'm not going to celebrate until I reach my goal weight! The best feeling? Getting dressed, wearing my XL & L postpartum clothes and realizing they are getting baggy!

Today I finished week 2 of C25K! It was harder, but not unbearable! I'm excited and nervous to start week 3! I am not letting anything stop me from continuing my mission to get fit! Counting calories has been the hardest part. I found a meal plan on excel and modified it to fit my calorie intake and that has made life a little easier, along with MyFitnessPal.

Last night was my in-laws anniversary and J wanted to take me out to dinner just to get out of the house for a while and we went to the Mexican restaurant (yes he had to talk me into it, because it's not "on my diet"). So recluctantly I went, and got a chicken taco salad. I either got food poisoning or my body rejected the food I ate. I'm assuming my body has been accustomed to eating healthy and only eating fruits, veggies, healthy meals, and natural foods that it wasn't used to the restaurant food anymore! Lesson learned, next time I will order a salad. And just because Taco Salad has the word salad in it, does not make it healthy.

I also downloaded the Abs Trainer- similar to C25K, and did 185 reps! Not too bad for my first time. Or is it? At least thats 185 reps I wouldn't have done otherwise! Hope you're all having a great week!
