The Embarrassing Truth

8:23 AM Posted In , Edit This 0 Comments »


Losing weight after having a baby SUCKS.  If you’ve been there, you know what I’m talking about.  I’m now to the stage where my “fat pants” are getting too big for me but I still don’t fit into the majority of my old pre-pregnancy pants.  I am still losing weight and plan to try and get back to my old size so I don’t want to spend money on new pants just for them to not fit me in a month or two.  But then again, what if I can’t lose any more weight…  Tough decisions.  So right now I’m living with wearing pants that are either too big or ones that I can’t button and I have to use the rubber band trick.  I’m proud to say that I only have about 11 more pounds to go.  This seems like a lot to some women but I am somewhat embarrassed to say that I gained 63 pounds with my little one.  He was worth every single pound but that was a lot of weight to gain for my small frame.  52 pounds down, 11 to go.

So I was talking to Josh and Loin about working out last night and they made me really want to try working out again. I’ve never had any success with working out. I’ve always struggled with the 5-10 lbs. that I want to lose and I’ve never been able to do it. I guess it isn’t even about losing the weight. I just want to get in shape and lose a few inches around the waist. This is going to be very difficult but I’m going to give it a try! (Again) Loin was talking about the Jillian Michaels 30 day shred. It sounded kind of fun (not really but it sounded like it would work if I really put some effort in it). So I’m going to have Phil find me the DVD and start working out. Loin said she would work out with me… but technically not together since we won’t be in the same room – but we will do the DVD daily together. I think that might make it easier. I won’t be able to say - I don’t want to work out today - since I know Loin is going to do it, I have to keep up. Right Loin??!! :-)
