Lovin them!

Compliments that is!! Over the last week since I've been able to fit into my size 6 jeans and slacks (2 pair are size 4!!) people have been complimenting me. Telling me they can't even tell I've had a baby. I'm loving every minute of it!! It's been so long! I was pregnant in 2006/2007 then got back into shape a year after having my first baby. Then, I got pregnant with my second in 2008 and had her in Jan of 2009. I'm finally starting to feel 'normal' again. All of you mommies know what that feels like. My body is back to being mine! It takes a good year for me to feel like myself after having a baby. I got back into running, I work out 5 days a week (my time is limited since I work full time, so my workouts are short but I fit them in) and I have stuck to a healthy diet (minus pumpkin pie over the weekend -my 2 yr old's reward for potty training!!) and it's paying off! I'm almost to my goal weight (4 lbs away) and I am really trying to get down to 16-18% body fat!

Last May/June I weighed144-149 (I was fluctuating big time) and was a size 12. Now I'm 129.4!! YEAH!!! Took me so long! I would go months without loosing. My Dr. said that it was probably my hormones adjusting. LOL I think it was my pseudo good diet! I was in denial about what I was eating and how much I was eating. I'm on track now! I was 134 the beginning of Jan and Voila! 5 lbs gone!!!

Just thought I'd share my excitement! I am finally feeling good again! And I totally can't wait to rock some shorts, tank tops and a bikini this summer!!! I'm going to start my personal training career as well. I put it on hold while pregnant and working to get my body back. I felt weird training people when I was not in the shape to do it. I've been certified for years... now I just need to jump into getting that career going so I can work part time and stay home with my girls!
