Another good week! I lost 3 lbs again. To be honest, I was hoping for a 4 lb loss this week, but I can’t complain. I really upped the intensity of my runs this week so my body is likely just adjusting. I ran 2 more 5k’s this week and a few more 2 mile runs. My plan is to slowly move up from 5k as I train for the Crazylegs Classic on April 24th. I am officially registered for this 8k race and I’m anxious, but really excited. It’s a goal to shoot for and it’ll help me drop some lbs. Wish me luck!

Well, it was a good week for me. I lost another 3 lbs, which puts me at 211.5. I also reached a very exciting milestone – running a 5k! The last time I ran a 5k was when I was 20 weeks pregnant with my baby girl who is now almost 5 months. Soo…it’s been awhile. And it feels GREAT! Of course I’m a little sore, but it’s a good sore. It’s amazing what you can do when you push yourself. Every time I would think about running more than a couple of miles, I would feel anxious, like it was too hard for me to do just yet (excuses, excuses). So I just said I was going to do it – and I did. I love pushing myself because once I do what I thought I couldn’t, I love the wonderful sense of accomplishment that I get. Here’s to more 5k’s over the next 3 months while I get back into swimsuit shape!

It’s been a tough couple of weeks for me. After a couple months of trying for baby #3, I was excited to be pregnant again, but at 6 weeks I lost the baby. It’s been hard to deal with, but I have to believe that everything happens for a reason. Maybe my body just wasn’t ready yet, who knows. I’ve decided to take this time now to take care of MYSELF. I’ve been doing really well sticking with my calories and have gotten going on my workouts again. I want to get back to my regular, pre-pregnancy weight again and I am completely committed. I’ve set a goal of getting back to 175 by May 27th. We have planned a vacation to our favorite destination – Vegas, baby! And I want to be in swimming suit shape for this trip. Here’s the breakdown:

Current Weight:    214.5
Goal Weight:         175
                           _____
Total to Lose:        39.5     /   13 weeks   =   3 lbs per week

Obviously a lofty goal (as usual), but I know I can do this. I’ve done it before and I will do it again. Follow me on my next leg of this lifelong journey!

Hey, remember me? The It’s A Boy – And I’m Fat Chick?! Well, I’m still around and here I am 4 months postpartum and still 35 lbs overweight. As of a few days ago, I have recommited to my plan and getting back in shape.

What is the plan this time, you ask? Well, it’s the same as it always has been with a little variation in my caloric intake. Whereas before I would eat 1200 – 1300 calories Monday – Friday and 2000 calories on Saturday and Sunday…this time I’m going with 1600 calories a day, every day. I’m also getting back into my workouts. I’ve been starting with just some speed walking and hope to work my way back up to a 5k by around May or so.

Please come back and check out my progress. Whether it motivates you or not, it helps me to know that I’m having an effect on someone other than myself!

I’m down 3 lbs from last week! I am glad to finally see a nice loss after standing still for a month or so. My short term goal was to drop 10 lbs in a month – so now I have 7 more lbs to go in 3 weeks, which is totally doable. W00t!

I’m still here and still working to lose the baby weight. It’s been a rough few weeks and the weight hasn’t been coming off as easily as before (thanks a lot 30!). I did start running again and I’m hoping that is the kick start that I need to start seeing some big losses on the scale. I weight in tomorrow, so we will see what weigh in day brings!

I’m down 7.5 lbs this week, which is great. I’m pumped to see a good number like that. When I see that I have 30 lbs left, I feel like it’s a piece of cake – what’s 30 lbs?! It’s nothing! Overall, I am very pleased and looking forward to losing more!

Well, after the birth of my beautiful baby girl on October 4, I’m back at my weight loss journey! On Monday I weighed in at 226.9. Since fridays are my official weigh-in day, I weighed in again today with a result of 222.5. I figure I’ll have a decent loss these first couple of weeks since I’m getting back into my healthy eating habits after eating pretty much whatever I wanted while pregnant. For now, I’m going to have to rely solely on healthy eating since I am not to work out until after my 6 week postprtum check-up, which is November 25. My goal for this time around is to get down to 185 before I get pregnant again, which ideally will be before the end of the year. So as usual, I have set a lofty goal for myself, but that’s ok – I’m excited!
