Well today was the day I FINALLY took the lead in our weight-loss competition… I’m so proud of me! Haha!
And I have to say I’m a little surprised. We went out to eat with a bunch of friends (we had 23 people total!) from church last night at Pizza Ranch. It was so much fun, but I ended up eating more than I had planned… Darn that social eating! Actually October is going to be a rough month for me and social eating because we have our Pumpkin Parties coming up as well as Halloween (all that candy at my fingertips–gah!). I just have to be more diligent in my weekdays since my weekends will be tough.
But I’m happy to report that I’ve been able to transition into my work clothes pretty well. I’m officially back down to my pre-pregnancy weight for Maddie. I still have quite a ways to go to get back to my ideal weight, but I’m trying to focus on baby steps. As long as I continue downward (even just a miniscule amount) that’s still progress. 🙂
I have hit funny stage in my weight-loss, however. I was SO big when I was pregnant that now that I’m loosing weight I have a ton of extra skin on my belly. Ha! It’s a bit depressing when I think I should look thinner and yet I still look pregnant because my belly sticks out. Oh well. I’ll just keep sticking with it and eventually it will go away.
You have done amazing. I’m seriously impressed with your hard work!
Did the doctor say that the diastasis recti had resolved? It might be that is what you’re dealing with, with the muscles in your tummy 🙂
And I want to see pictures!
You are doing great! Just be patient with yourself.
I was given the “green light” to workout regularly after mid September. She just said I should take another 6 weeks to heal when I saw her at my 6 week check-up. I’ve been checking the gap myself and it seems to be closing up nicely.
I’ll try and take some pictures soon… it’s much harder to just take a picture of yourself when it’s just me and not not for something else (like showing how pregnant I was!).
