Can I still call it baby weight 15 months later? I have struggled with weight for more than half of my life. After my first 2 kids I was overweight for years. Eventually I did get to my goal weight, when my youngest was 10. That latest about a year and a half, a year and a half of finally being able to go the beach without a cover up, shopping was fun and I felt good about myself. Then I got pregnant again. I was so excited about having another baby but the truth be told I was petrified about getting fat, again. I know, vain. But that really was my main fear. So, I vowed that this time would be different. i would eat right, excercise throughout the pregnancy. This time I would do better. This dream latest until I was about 15 weeks pregnant and I realized I was gaining too much weight too fast. The pizza, the late night snacks and the complete lack of excercise were showing their ugly face in fatness. on the bright side my baby was doing great, I was going to have a little girl. Plan B kicked in…..relax and enjoy the pregnancy. I told myself that I would get right back on track as soon as she was born. My little angel was born October 23 2010….and yup, still haven’t lost the weight. I can give you a ton of excuses, I have 3 kids, I work full-time, I am tired, my relationship has not been going well at all….blah blah blah. But if I am really honest with myself, there will be no easy way to do this, no perfect time to start. Life is full of surprises and challenges and moms are busy. I often would look at other moms, skinny moms and wonder why can it not be like this for me? Women all over the world eat right and excercise even moms, so if they can do why can’t I? the reality is, I can! So last week I took the first step towards skinny street, I went to the gym with my sister. I got a membership and went 4 times my first week. this is week 2 and its been a bit difficult. Monday, worked all day and had a dentist in the evening finally home just before 9pm. Tuesday had to work late didn’t get home until 8 30 pm. Wednesday, again worked late and didn’t get home until after 8 pm. Needless to say no gym. today is Thursday, actually had an early day at work and will be going to the gym tonight. I could so just give up right now, my schedule just seems way too hectic. However, I am determined to make this work, spent this afternoon playing with my baby and talking to the older kids about life…tonight gym with my sister! i am feeling really positive that one day soon I will be able to post a blog titled….How I lost The Baby Weight. wish me luck!
