Two yays for me today! :)

I started this journey to lose weight two and a half years ago. I dropped 25 pounds in 5 months. I was so excited and the momentum was amazing...until my husband and I found out we were expecting! We were very excited, but it obviously put my weight loss plans on hold. Since then, we have had two babies (the youngest will be 7 months old next week) and as of today I have hit my pre pregnancy weight! I am finally back to where I left off. I lost a little weight in the early stages of my first pregnancy so I'm not quite at the lowest I've been since I started this journey, but I'm getting close. I was just VERY excited to announce that I have two babies under the age of 19 months and I have lost every last pound they tried to make me pack on.

Yay number two... I also dropped below my obese range as of my weigh in this morning!

Unfortunately for those asking for advice, I don't have much. I'm breastfeeding so I eat a minimum of 1700 calories to account for the 500 hundred breastfeding calories. I have cheat days, if not cheat weekends, but am usually VERY strict on the weekdays. I don't get in too much exercise, unfortunately. I don't get home from work until 5 or later and anytime I'm not eating dinner or getting the kiddos ready for bed, I'm pretty much stuck on the couch feeding my sweet baby girl. Most nights she doesn't finish eating until 10 and with getting up at 5am I don't feel like working out that late. When I do manage to get some exercise in, I DO eat my exercise calories. Heck, I even enter in my cleaning and cooking minutes as exercise and eat those!

Good luck to all of you out there on your journeys. You can do it too!

Thanks everyone! It feels great. And good results just make me want to keep going... I'm always anxious for my weekly weigh ins now. And not because I'm nervous, but because I'm EXCITED!

Love you Grandma!
