So since 2015, before I was pregnant, I was on this new health kick where if I workout hard then I could eat whatever I wanted. And for a while that worked until I got pregnant. Now before I was pregnant I weighed a solid 150 lbs. and dropped down to 140 lbs. But oh when I went in to delivery I was an even 200 lbs. Now that is a lot for myself since my biggest size was a 10 in juniors. Now some of you may be thinking that 200 lbs is not so bad but if you have seen any pictures of me then you know that 200 lbs was a far cry from the 110 lbs my freshman year of college.
Since I was active and working out before I was pregnant and a little while pregnant, I thought, first baby my body would just snap back into place like I had seen some of my friends. WRONG!!!!!! My body and genetics is completely different from my friends. See once I had my baby I only dropped 20 lbs. Yeap, just a measly 20 lbs. So I thought well maybe I just have to give it some time. Nope that didn’t work either over 6 months had past and not a single pound was dropped. So I came up with a weekly goal and a plan. Though I have been working on this lifestyle and tweaking things here and there I am determined to get down to 150 lbs before my birthday in November. So wish me luck….
- Workout at least 5 times a week
- Healthier meals (no wings) (ok at least not every week)
- Motivation and consistency is key
- Don’t lose faith, progress is slow and the reward is awesome
- Make it a friends and family thing (this will push you even more and make you competitive)
- Keep progress reports and change things if results are not showing in 2 weeks time
- And you are not alone…..
- Love yourself in whatever stage
- No shortcuts (plastic surgery) – maybe a breast lift
- And I ran out of things to say LOL….enjoy
