So...I've been slightly less good about exercising in this lovely heat wave we've been having. That and moving, unpacking, costuming, the general every day throb of living has kept me from being as diligent about it as I wanted to be. So, starting this week, I'm going to try to do a bit better. My goal is to reach 135 (a nice healthy weight for me) by Christmas. I'd love that. Right now it's somewhere between 15 and 20 lbs to go. I realized that what made me so motivated after I had my daughter was that I could see changes in my body; they weren't always speedy but I could see them. The last 15 to 20 lbs won't be as noticeable to the naked eye. So, I'm going to have to go a bit deeper (I am a costumer and I make my own costumes, I don't care about sharing my measurements):
Currently:
Bust 39"
Waist 32"
Hips 41"
Sept 15(when I started cutting out my halloween costume):
Bust 38.5"
Waist 33"
Hips 41"
So for me that feels like progress and I can keep doing what I'm doing. Hoorah!
You've done amazingly being a mom, and working to lose the baby weight. I'm very proud of how far you've come! Ready to do it again? :-)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you did it the healthy way; too often people focus on "omg I gained weight!" and forget the major detail of they just carried life within them and that it is going to happen. (Then there's the people who only gain 15 lbs during pregnancy...yikes)
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful and totally kick ass!
