Before I had Nate, I told myself that I would have 9 months to lose the weight. You know, 9 months to put it on and 9 months to take it off. Well, I had Nate at 35 weeks and had already gained 65 pounds. (That is an estimate because once I had gained 12 pounds in the first month, I asked the nurse not to tell me how much I weighed. I think this was a mistake because I had no reference for what I was gaining, I just figured the doctor would tell me if I had gained too much. So, the 65 pounds may not be accurate but I am pretty sure that it is close.) Back to the 9 months to gain and 9 months to lose. First of all, I only had 7 months and 3 weeks to gain all the weight, so I really should have only that long to lose it. That is where the problem comes in, Nate is 7 months and 1 week old! I still have 25 pounds to lose!!!!
I started doing the Parent Magazine Lose the Baby Weight diet. It was going really well and I lost 9.5 pounds but then Christmas came and I went off the diet. I will weigh myself tomorrow (I always weigh on Mondays) and see how much I have gained back. I am PRETTY sure that it will be most of the weight I lost. I have really been enjoying myself this week.
I have plenty of excuses as to why I haven't lost the weight...I don't want to join a gym because I don't want Nate to go to daycare, I am home alone a few nights a week and what is the point cooking for one, I have to go out for lunch with the girls I work with, I don't need to worry about eating good on the weekends. The excuses go on and on!!!
So, today I decided that I am going to start blogging about my journey. I am going to have two goals per week. Goals that are not about the pounds I want to lose, but good choices I am going to make. I am also making a goal of writing in this blog at least 2 times per week, if not more.
This weeks goals:
1. No fast food.
2. No pop.
Wish me luck!
