THREE

It's the magic number!

I decided, with much hesitation I must add, to hop on the scale this morning. It has been a week and, like I said in my previous post, I feel more flabby than when I started! But lo and behold; I've lost 3 lbs. I even weighed myself after I had eaten breakfast. There is hope!!! I was starting to feel like maybe I had some kind of medical condition where eating right and working out was making me fatter! This gives me the motivation on need to keep going! YAY!

Frustration!!!

When I started this whole "weight loss" thing, it was really more about getting healthy and fit, not so much about losing weight. I really didn't consider myself fat, just a little soft. Well, here I am a week into eating right and daily workouts, and I have never felt like such a blimp in my life! I'm so frustrated! I really didn't feel this way earlier in the week. I don't know what happened! I guess I will just stay the course in hope of feeling better soon. But if I don't get some kind of reward for my hard work soon (more energy, better fitting clothes, drop a few pounds) I might lose my mind! No wonder people have trouble changing to a healthier lifestyle. I want instant results!!! UGH!!!

Oh Heidi

This is Heidi Klum after 3 children!!! She is currently expecting #4! Going into this weight loss thing, I was trying to set realistic goals. I would tell myself, "don't expect to get a supermodels body! You're a 30 something mother of four, not 20-something with no kids and all the time in the world!" Well, this picture of Heidi is making me rethink a few things. Granted, if I had a personal trainer like she does, and probably a nanny, that might help. I might have to make this photo the new wallpaper on my computer for a little more incentive! I know the hubby will appreciate that!

Here's the "Skinny"!

I need to get back into shape! The baby will be a year old in a few weeks, and even though I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight, I am NOT back to my pre-prego body.  This blog is, hopefully, going to help me be accountable. If nothing else, this picture should be a motivator!

 

MY GOALS:

1. Lose the muffin top! ( a six pack would be nice)

2. Tone up and get my fat % back to where it was pre-pregnancy!

3. Find some energy!

4. Live a healthier life-style!

I wouldn't mind doing a mini marathon, but we'll take it one step at a time. Wish me luck! Hopefully, in 6 weeks or so, I'll be rockin' a swimsuit in my next pic!
