Round 2

Here I am....back again, almost a year later. Long story short.... At the beginning of September last year I found out I was PREGNANT! Hooray. Then the sickness hit! I lost a bunch of weight. Was on in home IV's and meds, and was really really sick (this wasnt a surprise to me, I got super sick with Mayli). I had every intention to eat healthy once I started feeling better. But it didn't happen. What happened was that when I started feeling better and could finally keep food down, I ate and ate and ate!!! And then gained a lot of weight back! It can't be good for your body to lose and gain weight that rapidly, but here's how it went. Got Preg around 175lbs....got sick and got down to about 155....gained it all back plus more! When I gave birth I weighed 218lbs. GROSS! Right now my sweet little guy is 6 weeks old, and I am at 205( the biggest I have EVER been!). Square one. Bummer!! I have to start all over, but the great thing?? I know I can do it!I have done it before. I have the desire so bad, i just feel like circumstances are a little bit different this time. Which just makes it a little bit harder. I have to be more conscious, plan my time better. I don't have my very own gym membership anymore, I am relying on going with a friend. Which is awesome....but it makes me nervous to have to depend on someone else. Plus, there are so many other factors now. Do I have someone to watch my kids, do I have the money to buy healthy foods, is my friend going to be able to go and WANT to go when I do? I hope eventually we can budget for a membership for me, but right now it's just not in the cards. I know I don't have a gym to be successful, but honestly that's when I can exhibit the most self control. Leave me to do it at home by myself and it makes me nervous. That's why I'm afraid. But I CAN do it. I WILL do it. I am going to start small and then work my way from there. Here are this weeks goals.

** Don't eat ANYTHING after 7pm 

Right now this is my biggest pitfall!! After everyone goes to bed I take time for myself and check fb or watch tv and I will just eat and eat and eat...I need to eat something salty, then something sweet to counter the saltliness, then something salty to counter the sweet...I am constantly eating late at night and its not good!

** Get to the gym at LEAST 3 days this week (and try to work out the other two at home)

My friend is on board for the gym 3 days this week. 2 nights of zumba and one night of yoga.. (I have never tried yoga...I'm kind of excited)

** Cut down portion sizes

** Drink lots of water

** Seriously limit sugar intake.

These will be good goals to start out with. Nothing too extreme, but doable. Wish me luck!
