It's true! I would do it all again knowing I'd be all saggy and stretchy and that it'd be harder to lose the weight after my second child...and since I'm older. After Riley I lost 20 lbs immediately since he was so big (I gained 35). But a year after he was born and a move to Richmond, I gained 10 back after I lost it all. So when I was pregnant with Lucy I started 10 lbs. heavier, gained the same amount, and didn't lose as much since she was lighter than Riley. A year later I have 15 lbs. to lose.
Why am I doing this? I weighed myself yesterday morning and I was at 139.8 (I refuse to say 140), with a body fat percentage of 33%. This is my heaviest (not including while being pregnant) since 2003. I am starting this blog as a way of keeping myself accountable sharing it with a close friend doing the same and my health mentor and guru of Real Life, J.R. Miller in hopes he will chime in from time to time to strike fear into my soul. :o)
My game plan: Exercise 5 to 6 times a week. Eating carbs, fats, and protein in correct balance (10 macro nutrients a day). Trying to limit bread carbs to more veggies. And curbing that sweet tooth of mine! You certainly don't have to read it, but I'll be journaling what I'm eating here as well for my own accountability.
Your Part: Chime in! Yell at me for poor choices! Encourage me to keep it up. ASK ME HOW I'M DOING! Let me know you are reading this and I have someone who's watching what I'm doing. Big Brother can be a good thing.
I'm watching :) and I know you can do it!!!! You've rocked it before...you can rock it again"
