Oh yeah if u can wait till u have ur almost dream body or dream body, u will be able to bounce back after giving birth. Plus breastfeeding and walking or biking and the pound u gained while prego will drop off and ur tummy will go down alot too. Ive had friends do this and its amazing how good they look after only giving birth a few weeks ago. They had pics on fb so other mothers to be or friends that r going to have kids have a heads up. So cant wait to have kids of my own but i probably have another year to wait then ill join u in the picking up and trying to juggle a very busy life with a kid. Don;t know how u do it but Im sure u will have tips for me :P lol0 -

I also got to set up a train around our Christmas Tree!! (part of the reason I was late getting home) I stopped at my dad's to pick up track, a transformer, and he had me borrow a train set so he can check mine out and see if it's working ok. The baby thought it was awesome but wanted to touch it SO bad, but, she can't! She did pretty good just watching it though! Our tree is in a room that is gated off from her and the dogs so I won't have to worry about it. I'm bummed I didn't get to the challenge, but I will do it tomorrow.0 -

Cardio: (what and how long) I walked for over an hour

Challenge completed? I found today that I will have to alter part of the challenge. I have very weak arms due to surgery and still have restrictions on what I can and cannot do. I got 2 burpees in and realized they were a terrible idea, so I added some extra planks. I will have to find something else to do for the pushups on day 7 as well. I might use small hand weights for that day. And My GOSH do my shins burn! All this jumping is not something they are used to! haha
Did I take my vitamin? Before bed.
How do I feel about my day? I feel great about my day. Just worked, avoiding snacking. One of the ladies brought in doughnuts, which I passed up. A few months ago I would have had 2 or 3. But when I got to the end of my day and saw how low my calorie count was, I was wishing for a doughnut haha. I will figure the food part of this out eventually. And I am glad I am under instead of way over. I can learn to eat more of the right food, but would be sad if I still had to give up what I love.0 -

People are really starting to notice my weight loss, especially my legs, and my face! lol That makes me feel so much more motivated because I know I'm getting back to my "old" self that I haven't seen in a decade or more!0 -

And there was a little boy 2 months older than my daughter and they had so much fun together. I have to work Sunday which sux because I want to go to Chain of light with my hubby and kiddo (holiday celebration in town). I'll figure something out though!!

Challenge completed? No
Did I take my vitamin? Yes
How do I feel about my day? I went to my mom's church for the christmas choral concert. It was fun. I ate too many desserts and sandwich foods there. I was going to try for a light dinner, but I feel like I am starving. I am trying to recover from a recent injury to my knee, so I have decided food is probably a good thing (energy for healing and all that). So I went WAY over my calories today. I am so frustrated by my knees because I am used to my restrictions on my arms (past surgeries) but problems in my legs are not usual. I go to the doctor tomorrow to find out what damage was done. My right knee looks like it has a ping pong ball in it. My left is marginally better, but both are still so swollen! I cant wait to get back into my routine soon!0 -
Restrictions can be so annoying. When my back acts up I'm pretty much incapacitated except for walking and that's.....pushing it. And I have problems with both wrists (surgeries, tendonitis) so I do anything on my elbows since I can't really do my wrists having pressure. Finding alternatives and adjusting calories is really the only way to do it.0

But I'm going to keep trying. But this yo yo-ing with my weight is getting me so mad when I'm tracking so well! But then at the end of the week I tend to lose at least 1. Maybe I am under estimating what I'm eating. I'm contemplating getting a scale.0 -
