DUMP!!!
So here I have been busting my ever living butt for freaking 6 weeks, and not one thing has happened. I literally have not missed a workout. Nope.....nada uno. I have been eating super super good. Besides a cheat here and there. Ok.....wait I lied. I did have a spectacular lunch with friends that will be blogged about because it was the best indulgence lunch I have ever had, but hey.....cut me some slack.
But here is the thing. I have lost only 2 pounds. I still have my doughnut, my cheesy thighs and the never ending back fat. I know this blog post is pretty explicit. Keep reading at your own risk. I have my gross, never to be revealed before photos posted randomly around the house to keep my eye on my goal. It has motivated me to keep going, to do my workouts when I am absolutely so tired, or to not eat the cookies, icecream, or snacks that are lying around. But, how much longer can I keep this up when I don't see a single ounce of result. Ok....I lied again. I may feel a wee bit stronger, and maybe a little more energy and healthier. But, man throw me a bone. Let me see some fat flee my body.
I don't want to feel defeated. I won't quit. This is a lifestyle change, not a means to an end. I will keep going. I still am having my weekly appointment for my back so my pain is being managed ok. I just want to stay motivated which I am finding rather difficult.
Please help me not feel like a piece of dump. Tell me I'm going to see some change and not doing this for nothing. Any words of encouragement would be appreciated.

i can feel your pain!!! Don't stop Ang you WILL see results!! You are being too hard on yourself!
I'm so proud of you Angie! You impress me and motivate me just by hearing all that you are doing. Keep it up!
story of my life! i totally feel your pain!
Ugh! That is no good. It's so hard to keep up with something that hard without visible results. BUT! I'm sure there are untold results that are not visible to the eye. And therefore, it is totally worth it. Keep going!!
You JUST had a baby! Your SECOND baby! And you're nursing. People can say you lose weight when you're nursing, but I don't believe it--I didn't loose anything until I was almost done nursing. Your energy levels aren't your fault...the exercise, good eating, and more sleep helps, but your energy just won't be back up to normal until at least 9 months. I remember being astounded by how great I felt a year after Annie was born and I realized (again) what a toll pregnancy, birthing, nursing, and newborns takes on a body! So don't be depressed...just be patient...
I totally understand how you feel. I got so frustrated each weigh-in last year when I was so close to my goal, I was doing everything right and I just couldn't loose the last few pounds. I would burst into tears almost every week.
I think it's important to remember that you just had a baby. Seriously. Not easy to loose weight right now. But, be proud of yourself for the progress you've made. 2 pounds is still 2 pounds.
muscle weighs more than fat...you are just in the balancing part before you start to lose more. :)
My dad always says when you want to quit, that is when you push harder and don't give up.
YOU CAN DO IT(in that macho voice)
