Trying to lose weight after having LO (Little One for future reference) has been one of the hardest things I have EVER tackled! It's harder to stay on track than it ever was before. Grabbing quick meals where you can is not always conducive to healthy eating although I'm sure I could make better choices!
Thankfully I have a job with a gym downstairs, now if I get to the gym a couple times a week I count that a success. Definite room for improvement there! I'm hoping that putting this out there will encourage myself to be more accountable to myself! At this point in the game it's not about a number on the scale, but more about feeling like myself again. Prior to getting pregnant I wasn't really happy with myself and now with the added lingering baby weight it's easy to slip into a place where you can feel sorry for yourself. Here are a couple of goals for the month of August (even though we're already about a week into the month)
- Make the Honor Roll at the Turner Athletic Club. You have to go 12 times in the month to make the honor roll which boils down to a couple times a week. At the very least it's a start!
- No Soft Drinks. No point in drinking my calories!
- Find the nerve to put up a before picture so that at the end of this journey I can see how far I've come!
Let's start off small so that I get some success! Other Momma's - what did you find was successful in getting the last bit of baby weight off?
No babies here but I can relate to not being comfortable with yourself and trying to fix that. You can totally make the honor roll at the fitness center! If nothing else, a walk on the treadmill during lunch is a great way to fit in a little bit of activity. As for the before picture that can be a tough one. It never really bothered me to share my fat pictures because the way I see it the people reading my blog either A. Are internet strangers so who cares what they think or B. Already know me and therefore already know what I look like. Good luck with the sodas, I know that can be a tough one to kick. I still allow myself a caffeine free diet coke every once in a while as a treat but I rarely crave them anymore. You can totally do it!
