I rarely talk about my current weight loss/fitness mission that I'm on...I think I've irrationally convinced myself that if I do all the hard work over the last 4 1/2 months will vanish into thin air...
I made a vision board this past October and one of the images was that of a back-to-pre-pregnancy-weight mommy walking down the street with two kids in hand....
So that was my goal....to be a yummy mummy...as shallow as that sounds.
Now I know my weight loss may have very little to do with that image that I so carefully secured to my board and has likely to do more with the 90 minutes a week that my trainer kills me doing lunges, squats, dead lifts and kettle bell throws....but I'd like to think that one picture was my motivational secret weapon...
I never really lost the weight after my first child and I rationalized that by saying 'why bother if I'm just going to get knocked up again a second time'....
But after the birth of my daughter I had run out of excuses seeing that the baby factory was officially closed for business.
So I found my trainer, modified my eating and became best friends with protein powder, blueberries and almonds...
So at the 4 1/2 month mark....I'm:
Down 20 pounds...[130 lbs]
Lost almost 10% body fat
Gone from a size 10-11 to a size 6.....
Lost 2 inches off my chest....
2 inches off my arms....
And lost 3 inches off my thighs....
Not bad for a girl who loathes working out....
And yes I still sneak in chocolate every now and then....I mean I haven't completely lost my mind!
Did I mention that my trainer is a young man of a mere 2o years???
Yeah that helps too.
