Okay so its no secret i got fat when i was pregnant with Keira... yup gained over 80 lbs. I stopped keeping track after that. So to be honest i have no idea what i weighed at birth. But i do know my Fat butt didn't even fit into the maternity clothes i had bought at 6 months pregnant. I couldn't quite start working out right away with my C-Section but as soon as i was able i started. It had been so long that my endurance was pretty weak. I tried to eat healthy, but because i was breastfeeding I always had a huge appetite. With breastfeeding and a little bit of exercise i lost about 40 lbs. But still nowhere close to what i used to be before. I plateaued.... So i decided that i was going to kick my butt back to shape. And go and a healthy eating plan. Don't really believe in diet pills or starving myself.. done it and its just not healthy. It also makes me a very grumpy person. anyways i found this website called sparkpeople.com Its the best website ever! This site really helps you keep track of calories and eat the right amount of carbs, fats, and proteins. I have learned so much already. I even have Barry doing it with me... kinda ;) I've been using it for 3 months and with some hard core work-outs I've lost 30 lbs. Yeah its not a pound a day or anything. With how hard I'm trying i really would love to see better results, but I'm doing it the right way and it takes time. I now work out almost everyday, and at least run 5-10 miles a day. mostly only 5 miles I've only ran 10 twice. I'm still going strong and I'll keep you updated on my progress! :)

ReplyDeleteCharmaine,
ReplyDeleteHope you don't mind, but I found your blog from Rachelle. Can I just say how adorable your little girl is? She is a beauty. Way to go on the losing weight. I need to get my lazy butt motivated again.
Hope things are going well for you. It still is weird not to see your family when I go to my moms.
And Lemonade Lady? Man I wish I had that calling. I just got put in as the Primary President. All I can say is Pray for the Children. :)
5 miles every day! That's amazing! Good luck with the exercise and dieting. I'll bet you're kicking butt at it. Go you!! :)
