Let's just talk about this for a second. You know those people who have a baby and walk out of the hospital not looking like it, or those people who have a baby and a weeks later you can't tell. Yeah, I'm not one of those people, I hate those people (not really, just ticks me off!)
I never lost all my weight from having my first baby, mostly because I was lazy. After I had my second I was just "fat" sorry if you don't like that word, but its the truth and it was the one thing that got me moving! I had a series of events that happened that made me disgusted with myself, they are much too humiliating for me to post on here, but they were totally enough to get me moving! So, as you know form this blog I started running! I also stopped eating sugar. Like hard core, no sugar if it was listed in the first 3 ingredients on a label! I lost 20lbs, I still had quite a bit to go though! I sat at that weight for quite some time despite training for a half marathon that had me burning enough calories to lose 2lbs a week and still nothing! SUPER frustrating. I however wasn't really watching what I was eating. So, I enlisted the help of my new friend! We had just started to get to be friends and she was perfect for me because I was still getting to know her and didn't want to have to tell her I ate crap! She is super honest on her blog about her weight loss, so she was perfect for me! I lost 22 more lbs! This brought me back to almost where I was after having my first baby! (almost) Unfortunately, I had gained weight before having him so I still needed at least 20 more lbs before I wanted to have another baby.
God had other plans. You know that phrase, we plan, God laughs. Yeah that was us! We all know I got pregnant with the twins far faster than we were hoping! Surprise! No more losing that last 20lbs. I was determined not to go crazy and gain 80lbs for these kids and did what I thought was great and only gained 50 (which put me lighter than I was when I had baby #2) I lost 30 right away after they were born, which was amazing, but that was the holiday season and I did not feel like dieting again, so I gained 10lbs back. Dumb!
So here were are again. I started running again at 6 weeks 2 days, but didn't start strictly with the food until 3mos. Its been SUPER slow. I've only lost 7lbs but I know I'll get there! Its gonna be a lot of work!!! To get there I have had to workout 6 days a week and really watch what I eat! Which stinks!
So, that's enough of the babble! I hear babies crying! And I need to go run with my friend!
All you baby poppers who lose that weight right away with no effort. Count yourselves blessed and eat a donut for us ;)
