Here I am...6 months post-baby and still 20lbs heavier than when I got pregnant well over a year ago. After months of not caring about what I put in my mouth, lack of exercise and a pure disinterest in overall health, I am very much feeling the effects this "la-di-da" attitude.
A lot has been going on in my life. On top of the three rambunctious boys there is work to consider, family, friends, freelance, bills and personal issues. Quite a hefty plate-with no stress relief in sight! Lately I have been lethargic with headaches, and a lot of pain in my shoulders and neck. I just feel plain 'ol old!
I am ready to get back in shape!
Right before getting pregnant with my oldest I was in great shape, and really stepped it up after having him. I gained a ridiculous 60lbs (50% baby/50% brownie) and was working out 5-6 days a week, eating on the Body for Life plan and lost it all within 6 months. I was in great shape. Ran my first 5K, then moved on to 10K and felt really good moving into my second pregnancy. After gaining another 55lbs with my second, the weight didn't come off as easily and I definitely didn't commit like I should have. But I did manage to complete my first HALF marathon 17 months after giving birth. And here I am again-60lbs during pregnancy and 20 remains....
Help me battle the baby bulge and accomplish my next physical accomplishment in life with the completion of my FIRST FULL MARATHON in SPRING 2010!
