In other New Look News: today starts Crash and Burn Diet Day! As previously mentioned I lost 20ish lbs in the first week after having Jack. Nadda from then on out... I can only say for one more week, "I just had a baby." I think 7 months is probably the cut off for that excuse.
Sooo. Since Pat won't let me invest in diet pills and I'm not disciplined enough to pick up an eating disorder- We are going to go the route of everything in moderation. I just am going to cut back on the junk food and beef up the protein in my diet. Plus since the weather is getting nicer I have no excuse but to get out there and run/walk.
In order to publicly embarrass myself/keep myself motivated due to fear of judgment by my dear readers. I will post my weight (gulp) and weight loss (double gulp) each week.
My goal is to be back at Wedding Day Weight (130) by Jack's 1st Birthday.

| Goal: Wedding Date Weight |
Here is the background story/litany of excuses for my current weight:
1) I gained 20 lbs from my wedding day (10/08) to the day I found out I was pregnant (2/10). So, I was already at a disadvantage.
2) I gained 40 lbs during pregnancy because I had a 9 lb baby. Don't try to do the math.
3) The weather was really terrible this fall/winter/spring and so I couldn't exercise outside (my preferred method) with a newborn.
4) I was hungry.
So here it goes:
Weight on Due Date Day: 200lbs
 |
| 200lbs |
Weight One Week After Jack's Birth: 175lbs
 |
| One Week After: 175lbs |
Current Weight 171lbs
Math:
171
- 130
______
41 lbs (ugh.oh.)
I let you know how this experiment turns out.
BOOTCAMP, THIS THURDAY be there or be square, leslie is coming and maybe megs or michelle! so if anything else we will get in some mommy laughs!
ReplyDeleteLETS WALK TOGETHER, on a saturday morning or a wed I would love to meet at a park and walk it out momma!
WE CAN DO IT! I'm trying realyl hard right now too, my problem is that I am a pig and my portion size is way outta control!
YAY hot mommas, lets cheer each other on!
Been lurking on your blog for a little while, and wanted to say "hi!" and best wishes on the weight loss. I'm at 5 weeks postpartum and terrified to step on the scale, you've got guts girl.
ReplyDeleteAshley- I'd love to boot camp...well lets be honest0 I really wouldn't, however I have a legitimate excuse. That is Pat's ONLY night off. So, we usually hang together. I am off everyday by 4 so we can totally walk/run (emphasis on walk) after work if you want. Francis Park?
ReplyDeleteAriel- Welcome to the blog! Lurking is encouraged. Are you from Saint Louis? Are you really a zookeeper? I lurked onto your profile. Congratulations on the new baby!
Molly, you're so darn cute! Seriously. Somehow I lost sight of your blog updates...I won't let it happen again. Note, this is August & I'm just reading your May post. How goes life as a teacher???
