So here's a little bit of a story to go along with my pictures
Im a breastfeeding mom to a 14 month old boy
Everyone told me my weight would fall off with breastfeeding...he was 11 months
And I was actually 25 above the weight I was when I delivered him!
I ha already gained 55 during pregnancy and with the 25 afterwards
I needed to lose about 100 pounds!
So march 1st 2012 I made up my mind to work out and keep my eating clean and healthy
I counted calories and worked out 5 days a week
I ate a lot....1500-1600 and some days being a busy mom it was lower
But never intentionally! My goal is between 1500-1600
And I stuck to it...I didn't have Cheat days untill recently
Because I was strict and dedicated to change
Now that I'm closer to my goal I do on occasion cheat!
But jump right back on the next meal or next day!
I'm now 5 pounds away from pre pregnancy and 30 pounds away from
Where I was when I met my husband!
I usually get questions about my workouts so here's my secrets
I did the 30 day shred for 60 days!
Typically now I run 2 miles a day (4days)
And then 1 day a week I do insanity or any work out DVD or workout class
and I usually get questions about WHAT I eat
And I tell everyone it's DIFFERNT everyday
And I just eat healthy no special meals or anything!
So with my long into (sorry) here are my pictures!
starting
march 1st and then NOW 70 pounds!
A face shot
Feeling Amazing! But still have 30 to go!
