TWO BABIES, BACK-TO-BACK = FAT, FAT, FAT!
Yeah. Blow me, Weigh-In.
170lbs
We are going to the grocery store today. Thank God! It hasn't been easy eating healthy when we have no real food! Plus, I have a fat old lady who lives with me who, though despite being diabetic, feels the need to buy cake, donuts, cookies, and candy EVERY WEEK, so I'm tempted. Although, many times she's eaten it all before anyone's had the chance, but the junk is still available.
Oh--and I guess me not getting off of my fat ass this week hasn't helped.
I really have to get it together. Our friends are getting married in Sept. and I REFUSE to be this weight then. Plus, there may be a guest attending that I HATE that do not want seeing me this way. The best revenge for me would be to look fabulous.
People who've had a baby and instantly lose all of their baby weight PISS ME OFF! Eat it you genetic freaks!
- OBVIOUS: Lose weight (short term) 150lbs (long term) 130lbs
- Exercise at least 3 times a week for at least 1/2 hour each time.
- Limit my intake of fast food & restaurants to once a week unless making healthy choices (ex: salads, yogurt, fruit, sushi, kiddie portions, etc.)
- Restaurants that are OK to visit any time:

- Track and update my Diet Diary daily and update my Blog at least once a week.
- Have we weekly weigh-in on Tuesdays, with results posted here.
- Take a class (time permitting) at my gym in addition to my regular exercise program.
I wanted to title this blog THE SHAPE OF A MOTHER but it was already taken and I absolutely appreciate the site, so I couldn't do that. I know that I'm currently overweight, but I HAD A BABY, WHAT'S YOUR EXCUSE?
I had my son Connor 2 months ago on Feb 18th, 2008. I had a emergency c-section so needless to say, I wasn't able to do anything (physically) for 6 weeks. Then, 6 weeks to the day, I had emergency surgery to remove my gallbladder after a 6 day stay in the hospital with an inflamed liver & pancreas. I am JUST NOW able to resume normal activities from that surgery.
Let me tell you, it has been an experience I will never forget, nor one that I care to repeat.
So, here we are...
Pre-pregnancy weight: 154 lbs
Highest pregnancy weight: 190 lbs
Goal Weight: (short term) 150lbs (long term) 130 lbs
Current weight: 170 lbs
Total gain/loss: -20 lbs
Here is the little guy who made being a little fatter than I'd like a little more bearable

Currently: Me, with Connor (I'll get better "Before & After" pics later)
