and the soup is pretty good. It was hard yesterday because I started going through sugar withdrawals, BAD! I took a starting photo and weight...couldn't find my measuring tape to take before measurements, but I'm still looking for it! Yesterday I could just have fruit, except bananas, and the special weight loss soup, tea and water. Did my cardio session with my Jillain Michaels dvd during the afternoon and did my upper body weight lifting exercises last night after the kids went to bed.
Oh yea! Background. I'm 26, a mother to a 4yr old little girl that we'll call Boo Boo, a 5yr old boy that we'll call Yogi, and married to love of my life and we'll call him Superman. I have been on this weight loss journey for a LONG time...years in fact. The weight GAIN started when I got pregnant with our son Yogi, and continued when we found out we were pregnant yet again 10 1/2 months after he was born with Boo Boo. Between the back to back pregnancies, the stress of a baby that NEVER wanted to sleep, Superman going to work and school and I working as well full time, there was no time to think of healthy eating, but I did try and exercise. I was taking daily walks with my son when I would get home from work, and tried changing my diet as much as I could...good thing all my daughter made me crave was healthy foods...the worst thing I craved was mashed potatoes lol. After Boo Boo was born I tried to work out with cardio and what not, but my body would not allow me to, since I gained around 90lbs between the both of them, and that kept setting me back.
My starting weight was 215lbs and now I'm at 170lbs in 3 years...it's slow going, but I'm getting there. My first goal is 150lbs, my ultimate goal is 145lbs where I'll be doing maintenance. With the diet I am also working out...Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I am doing lower body weight training with light cardio, Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm doing heavy cardio and upper body weight training, and Saturdays is heavy cardio only day. So, yea I don't have that much to do, but I'm still 20lbs away from my goal and am DETERMINED to get it off by summer so I can feel more comfortable in my skin(and shorts lol).
So, join me on my journey! I will be posting every day until I reach my goal. With daily update pictures, how I feel about the diet and just my feelings for the day period!
a little bit of a difference, not much....we shall see after a week what has happened to the mommy belly that's out of control! lol
