One Year Later

jomiley23

I love the option under reports to see your progress over a year. Sometimes I am frustrated that I am not at a smaller weight, given that I started MFP about eighteen months ago. But I was doing so awesome, had lost almost thirty pounds, ran my first 5K, and then - BOOM! After 10 years of infertility, and after adopting two precious little girls, I got pregnant.

So - pregnancy - that was June of 2012. Baby was born healthy in February. I gained 40 pounds. But now, six months after giving birth, I am UNDER (woot woot!) my pre-pregnancy weight.

I started eating clean(er), following a Paleo eating plan (plus a little dairy for breastfeeding, and sugar in my coffee [hey, nobody's perfect]), and that got me under pretty quickly. I'm enjoying the plan and looking for friends who are doing Paleo. Once I'm through breastfeeding, I'll kick it up a notch.

But for now, I'm pretty proud of myself.
