I have to make a change

Oh I forgot...I have to be in a wedding in October and I have officially decided that it is time to start back on Weight Watcher's again and to start my exercise routine. I have started walking 2 miles a day and jumping on the trampoline when Mark is home to watch Maddy. That is a GREAT workout. I also have started doing lunges with weight's 3 days a weeks to help my muscle tone and burn the fat! This has to be done...b/c if you look at my blog there are NO pictures of Mommy. My self-image stinks and I refuse to have any pictures of me taken below the chin....yes the chin. So I am trying to work out and eat better but not mess up my milk supply. It has been said that a breastfeeding mother is hungry all of the time...yes so true. So this is a challenge! Wish me luck. I went back to Dr. Franklin Tuesday and she released me. Of course they had to weigh me and that was the first time I have stepped on a scale since Maddy was born...yes...I wanted to cry! Needless to say that I ALWAYS weigh more at the Dr. but it still SUCKED! I have lost 22 pounds of the 35 I gained...but I still feel like a royal blimp! They say this too shall pass...that I just had a baby and my hormones are still raging. HA. Well, I am here to say that this 36 year old mommy is ready to conquer and get back down to what I use to look like. This is NO WAY to live. FAT be GONE! Ready, Set, GO................

I totally relate to everything you're saying! Normal clothes don't fit, but maternity doesn't fit correctly either. I'm not happy when I look in the mirror, yet not diligent enough to do much about it and NO will power to ignore the YUMMIER FOODS.

Good luck with your plan! You sound like you're on your way!

meat, salad, and yogurt. that is all I ate after Griffin was born. Btwn that and pumping (nursing for you), you will drop the baby weight quick! that is how I got down below pre-preggo weight anyway.... Not a single pc of bread, cracker, pasta, or pizza. Just lean healthy stuff and you will get rid of it, I promise!
