encouraged.
well, i’ve got good news to report! after my last frustrated post i’ve been making it a point to go jogging this week… and it has paid off! i’ve lost another 2 pounds, making my total loss since Payton 35 pounds (reminds me, I need to put up some new progress pics!), which is good for a time span of 3 1/2 months (at least I think so!) I gained 43 pounds during my pregnancy which means I still have 8 pounds to go to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight… and i’m hoping to have that done by the end of the month. Then it’s on to that weight…

finding a routine
i feel so out of it. i was doing so good, working so hard. then when i went back to work i feel like i lost it. my routine was shaken up. finding time to spend with chris and payton was hard enough, let alone time to work on me. from the time i was laid off i feel like i have been playing catch up… still trying to find momentum to get back into working out and paying closer attention to what i eat. just when i was getting there we went on vacation. it is hard to eat good on vacation…. not hard to eat good food, but…

Most of us women have thought it one time or another…. “oh i’ll buy new clothes when i’m a size ____” or “when i lose a few more pounds i’ll buy that dress i want”…. we are always putting off letting ourselves feel good. but what happens? we always feel blah… and when we don’t feel like we look good we don’t want to work on how we look… its a vicious cycle!! Payton is now 2 months old, meaning I have been un-pregnant (is that a word?) for 2 months. No, I don’t fit in my pre-pregnancy pants. Sadly, when I gave birth to Payton the 43 pounds I…

Plyometrics… Oh my.
Today I was feeling motivated. I woke up feeling pretty good, had a cup of coffee and a broccoli and cheese omelet. I saw the sun shining outside so I packed up Payton in her new sling, put on some Darius Rucker and headed out the door. I walked for 24 minutes, about a mile and a half, but I got concerned about Payton being in the sun and heat so I headed home. Still feeling a little overzealous I decided to try another one of the P90x dvd’s… Plyometrics. At the beginning of the DVD the instructor talks about how to have your “bucket handy” and not to eat…

The Journey- Weeks 1 & 2
I started this blog wanting a place to be completely open about my thoughts and it was also a way to keep everyone updated on my life. Sometimes I wrote to be read… not to be honest. Well, from now on you’re going to see honesty at its best. I’m going to document my journey to be healthy and lose weight. If you click on the My Story page above you can get the background to my story… I officially started my journey to lose the baby fat (and then some) on 4/5, a little over a week ago. During week one I detoxed myself of carbs, eating mostly protein…
