I love to write, I really do. But then I climb into bed, get sucking into the black hole of Facebook and finally just want to sleep for an hour before my 16 month old wakes up at 1am to nurse. (Yup, she's looking to take his sisters record for longest night nurser EVAH!)
So... I've been eating not so great, and the weather hasn't been very cooperative to outdoor exercise. In other words, I've been slacking. One week in and I'm slacking. Oy. Well, today my friend posted her blog and talked about going streaking. Nooooo not that kind of streaking, get your head out of college. An exercise streak. Committing to exercise every day for a certain amount of time. I am going to start today. Jillian Michaels 30 day shred has been stairing me down for....well too long. (I bought it when Ella was 3 months old and she turned 3 years old yesterday.)
And.... sadly, I've gained 2 lbs. Lack.of.self.control.
Ugh... so, with that I will fully disclose that I had a piece of birthday cake for breakfast and will be scrounging what is in the house to eat until Friday when my new monthly food budget starts over. I will work to make good choices with what I have though.
Well hello. So, I will start with saying I came across your blog while google searching "losing weight before Disney." First want to say my name is Lynsey and I am from the Pacific NW; I also have two little girls (4 years & 15 months) and I am FAT. Oh man, I got fat with my girls. I don't even know what happened. But its pretty bad. Never a small girl even before- but babies put me onto the next level. Always have had this sick diet plan where I am doing great and then I screw up. Instead of saying, "I will try better tomorrow," I say, "I will start over next week...or next month." Gives myself permission to have a week of "Last Suppers." Its ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteBut anyways, we are planned for Disney World. My four year old is beyond excited, it is like her life revolves around this Disney World bit. I have been twice before, both times fat...and I don't want to do it again.And I know this time will be worse. Granted, I will still be 'fat' even with my most valiant of efforts...but I want to not be sweating profusely or limping to the finish line at the end of the day or crammed into the booth at my favorite restaurant in Epcot, ditto on crammed into a seat on Southwest. It can be so much better than that. I want my happiness to match my daughter's happiness.
So, wanted to say hi and let you know that I am going through the same thing. I have never particularly succeeded at significant weight loss, but if this can't motivate me...I really don't know what else will. The years will pass and before I know it I will be 35 and know I wasted it all away.
