So I put on a decent amount of weight when I got pregnant thanks to swelling and just normal pregnancy weight...lets say about sixty pounds pounds. Everyone who knew me prepregnancy know that I was a tiny person most of my life. I gained a little weight during college, but I needed to.
Right after Leah was born, I instantly dropped about thirty. I have been stuck since with the extra thirty. I was never really dedicated to losing it until recently with all the heart stuff and just feeling run down all the time.
When I got back from Ohio, I decided to start walking. I noticed that I was losing a little but not a lot. I then started watching the show Cooking Yourself Thin. I became inspired to cook good, low calorie food. I took their advice and multiplied the weight I wanted to be times ten, and that is how many calories I allow myself a day. According to them, if you do this equation, you can lose all the weight in six weeks.
Since I started the cooking healthy with the walking, I have now lost ten pounds. I am losing the weight quickly for now, and I know it is about to get harder. I am just happy to be seeing my figure again and seeing myself fit into old clothes comfortably. I am beginning to feel energized and want to walk that extra lap and do the extra exercise at night.
Once you get started, it is not that hard to keep going. I thought I would never be able to count calories, but I am. Anyways, I just wanted to share some excitement.
In other news, Leah now has eight teeth and is beginning to take steps. You has quite the little personality on her, and it gets easier as she gets older. I know people say it gets hard when they begin to walk, but I love her independence and sense of adventure...plus, it keeps me going. It is so hard to believe in July, she will be 1. My little girl is growing so fast.
