It has been a year. Really a year has gone by…. and I didn’t get far in this weight loss journey. There is no one to blame but myself. But I decided to forgive myself.Instead of focusing on myself, I focused on but was more important to me – my family. Everyday I have to remember I am just as important to my family as they are to me and if I am important to my family I have to be important to me. So here I jump on the saddle again a year later and an extra baby later. That’s right you heard an extra baby we had a baby within that last year. I have to say I was very proud of myself I only gained a few pounds throughout the pregnancy and by the time I have her in my arms and I weighed less than what I did prepregnancy.
So my goal now is to do couch to 5 k and I’m really excited but I’m not a runner….. so I’m a little nervous too. But here’s were you will be able to find it….. my journey.
I am breastfeeding so water is very important and that is still my goal lots and lots of water.
BUT goal one….post pictures of myself……(hitting the floor)
Can’t wait to get in the habit of reading ya’ll post again.
Pictures….goal one done!
Welcome back! …and congrats on your baby.
I have to give you props for the photo. That is tough to do. Something about public posting makes it much more real. Yes, drink up… nurse and best of luck with the C25K program. I hope you have a rockin’ week ahead.
