Have I mentioned that I’ve lost 30 pounds since the start of Advent?
See the fatty post-partum me eating (of course)? Yuck.
I was 4 months post-partum in that picture and the weight wasn’t magically disappearing. So, for Advent, I started exercising 4-5 times a week with a DVD. That went pretty well for awhile. We got sick and I got un-motivated around the end of January. Then, during February, I used Sparkpeople to keep track of my food intake. That went really well until Lent started and I began to limit my computer time. During Lent, I didn’t really do anything special. Now, I haven’t weighed this much since I was pregnant with Bernadette…yep, that’s right, since I was pregnant with Bernadette…I haven’t been very motivated to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight before now.
Here’s me last week. Photo courtesy of my 4 1/2 year old. Complete with Clare being silly, as usual, and the apartment in complete disarray. (to find out why, go to www.katiandjeremyshouse.blogspot.com to see what we’ve been up to).
Yes, I am proud of my weight loss, but I wanted to document it for my own sake so after the next baby girl (God-willing, of course, I am not pregnant right now) I have visual proof that I can do it!
Good for you Katie! Such an inspiration...I need to get going on the same path...
ReplyDeleteWOW! you look amazing! it's taken me 2 years, but I'm finally back to my pre-pregnancy SHAPE (totally different than weight, I have learned). Really, waitressing is the only thing that ever helped me to loose anything. It helped me to loose my freshman 30 too!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up girl!
You look great! I noticed when I saw you last week at the Marians. Keep up the great work. It is so worth it! Thanks for the motivation!
