Week 6.....and feeling like......

By
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.

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)

Lucy's Birth

By
Today I am going to sit down and take the time to journal Lucy's birth story.  My feelings are still so fresh and I want to remember my experience forever.  When I found out I was pregnant with Lucy I had feelings of apprehension and fear.  I wasn't ready for another baby nor was Brian to say the least.  I actually kept the news to myself for weeks, till I could no longer keep it to myself.  I knew that I had to keep working to keep the family afloat and if there were any complications we could not survive without my income.  Lots of prayers were said to keep this baby inside me so I could take care of our family and house.  To say the least my prayers were answered and this was the most smooth sailing pregnancies yet.  I was able to work part-time and at the end go full-time, and actually Brian and I were able to travel to Europe for 2 weeks when I was 24 weeks pregnant. Sweet! Since the day I told Brian I w...

I have "KIDS"

By
So, I find myself tripping out at the thought that I now have 2 kids. I was completely freaking out before baby Jack arrived due to the fact that I feel like Emmi is a handful and I can't imagine doubling that work. To get myself to calm down I would just tell myself, "everyone does it, right?" Well, to say the least it hasn't been a breeze so far. I am handling the baby fine. Yeah, some sleep deprivation, but Emmi has been a complete "2 year old" nightmare. I believe she is loving her baby brother, although she thinks that smothering, hitting, poking, jumping near his head, yelling in his ear, and collapsing to the floor everytime she doesn't get her way at that moment seems to be a good way to get attention. YIKES!!! My patience is wearing thin. I would LOVE any advice on handling two kids and most importantly handling a 2 year old with a new sibling. This is innocent Emmi loving her brother at the moment

Reality Check

By
Holy Cow.......Brian and were just relaxing on the couch enjoying some Christmas music, our Christmas tree and lighted mantle with the stockings hanging.  We had a reality check when we saw 5 stockings hanging.  We are almost a family of 5.  Wow.......pinch me!  We are getting so excited to welcome our newest 5th member of the family. It's amazing what two people can accomplish in 10 years.
