I have had 4 beautiful little children in the last few years. I had mere months in between each pregnancy to get back to pre-pregnancy weight each time. Now however, my oldest is about to turn 5 and my youngest recently turned 1. I would say I have no excuse to not get back to my pre-baby number one size/weight.
I am not one of those naturally lucky people with a superb metabolism or amazing genes. It is actually the very opposite. Most of the women on both sides of my family have always really struggled with weight. Before I became pregnant with my first child I was going to the gym at least twice a day. I still only managed to get down to a size 5 and 118 pounds. Which may sound great but at 5'2", this is not exactly the case.
So here I am 6 years older, trying to get back to that place. It is going to be difficult and it will not happen over night and I am very much prepared. Here are my downfalls and what I will need to manage to get to my goal.
1. Coke- Love the stuff. Weaning myself off so not to have killer headaches.
2. HUSBAND- I love the man but he has to be the most unmotivational person alive.
3. Water- I do not drink near enough. On a daily basis I am only consuming 32oz or so. I need to double this number and the sooner the better.
4. Exercise- I love working out, not so much with 4 kids under foot. I need to learn to make more time and stick with it.
5. Sleep- My youngest still wakes at night to eat. Add me not going to bed until 11 or so. And then my other 3 waking up at 6:30 and well you can see my issue. GET TO BED EARLIER!
I am currently 135 pounds and a size 7. Two months ago I got down to 125 pounds and a size 5. Out of nowhere I constantly felt sick and later discovered I am now lactose intolerant. I have finally got to the point in my diet where that is no longer an issue for me and I feel so much better.. So now its time to get back on track. Hopefully I can continue to hold myself accountable.
