363 days ago, I decided it was time to get serious about trying to lose the weight I gained with my pregnancy with Isaac. I got as serious as I could while nursing. I couldn’t cut my calories too much without decreasing my milk supply. I made a half-hearted attempt here and there. I would work hard for a few days or weeks and then slip back into old habits. In the fall, I got a little more serious with cutting calories because Isaac decided he was done nursing.
I gained 32 pounds with my pregnancy with Isaac.
I lost 13.6 pounds right after having Isaac. Those pounds mostly fell off on their own.
My 5 1/2 months of half-hearted work rewarded me with a loss of 5.4 pounds.
Over Christmas I gained 4.6 pounds. That means that from July until the beginning of January I only lost .8 pounds. Pathetic! I made some bad decisions. I knew what I needed to do, I just didn’t do it. I guess I should say I knew what I needed to stop doing (eating so dang much!).
This spring I started to turn things around. I increased my running and decreased my eating. I have had a few set backs since the beginning of 2010, but I’ve not let myself get as off track as I did last summer and fall. I have 2 days until I reach the one year point. I hope to have a good report for you with photos. Stay tuned!
