It's coming off slowly . . .

I know they say that a pound a week is healthy and natural for you to lose so I was ok with that but I had made a goal of being to my goal weight and in good shape by the time we go down to Vegas for my sister in law and her fiancee Eddy get married in April. I have been doing really well lately. Cutting out most of the junk out of my diet and I'm really starting to feel good now and the weight is coming off slowly. Some days I step on the scale for curiosity and I'm still the same weight and some days I step on and I've lost half a pound, not too bad. I am guilty of stepping on the scale once a day instead of just letting my clothes be the judge. I need that tangible number to make me feel good about what I'm doing. Color my shocked when I stepped on the scale when I woke up this morning and before I showered and I am down to 167.5 when last weight I was 170! Wow that's pretty good. In fact it's really good! It means I'm a pound and a half from my pre-pregnancy weight with Corinne and that I've almost lost 30 lbs from when I topped out at 196 lbs right before she was born. That feels pretty good. Only issue is I don't want to just be my pre-pregnancy weight. It means I still would have 26 lbs to lose but even that isn't too lofty or hard to imagine losing now that I'm sticking to it.

I actually went to Old Navy yesterday and bought myself some shirts that are in a smaller size for when I lose weight (that's when not if) because I feel like nothing fits me properly and I will have some clothes as goal to fit into. I plan on starting going to bed early which for me is probably 10:00 if the baby will let me and then getting up around 6 and going for a walk. Then at night when the boys are down and heaven help me if Corinne will let me put her down too I will do a workout video from netflix instant download or I am renting Jillian Michael's 30 day shred to try out. I don't know why I didn't think of it before but why spend the money when I can rent and try out multiple videos to keep from getting bored. Just gotta stay motivated. Here's hoping I can get that great bikini body by the time Vegas comes around, or at least a smaller sized cute one peice so I don't feel like I have to wear a big t-shirt over it to keep from everyone staring.
