Week 2

Week 2 and Im still going! 

First of all thats basically a record for me. lol I have a terrible time with diets and an even harder time with being active consecutively. lol  

Ready for the big news???!!! 5 lbs lost baby! I weighed in this morning and it was basically the best part of my day! ( Im feeling super sick today....head congestion and body aches. :( )

I have had a pretty easy time with the diet that I've chosen to stick to. I've also been doing a ton of reading up on healthy options of our favorite meals so that I don't feel like I'm missing out on things. (Which is why I usually fail at dieting!)  I haven't cut things out so much as I've been a stickler to my portion size. I still allow myself to have a bite of something that I know I love....I just don't sit down with the whole bag of chips or a huge plate of food at dinner.  

Ryan has been pretty awesome through the whole thing and is even enjoying some of the meal changes. I think that's been a huge life saver too.   It helps that he loves fruits and veggies too.  I made baked haddock for dinner the other night and I think he was the most excited I have ever seen him. lol He ate a whole lb of it! lol 

As for being active....I do have to say I've slacked a bit.  I still do SOMETHING every day but I haven't been walking like I should.  I need to get new sneakers (mine are giving me blisters).  So I've been doing inside stuff more which feels a little more restrictive.  Turns out I'm not very coordinated. lol I don't think I could explain to you all how painfully uncoordinated I am. lol  

I will say I had a great time with Heather at her gym with some of the Bangor Roller Derby girls.  I had a great time, even though I thought I was going to die!  Holy cow that trainer was kickin my butt!  I don't think I've ever been more sore than when I was done working with her. My thighs were literally on fire! (Side note: Ryan also hurt his hip that day and was walking equally as funny as I was....I thought I going to die from laughing about what people would think!)  So I limped around for a few days....and I felt great!  I'm so proud of myself for sticking to it and working through the death threats running through my head for the trainer the whole time....for working through the death wishes for myself bc it hurt so bad....I knew I had to do as much as I could do....I would pass out if I had to but I was going to work out if it killed me or not. 


So my plan is to get a membership as soon as I can get the money saved up....blah. lol And to get new shoes! :)  


I just keep thinking to myself how important this is. How much it means to the rest of our lives.  We want to get married someday....we want to be parents.  I don't want to be an old mom and have no energy to hang out with my kids. I want to be the mom that might be a little older but shes healthy enough to still get outside and play.  I want to look at my wedding pictures and not think to myself about how Ryan married a woman who weights more than he does.  I want to be able to go shopping and have clothes FIT ME. lol There is nothing worse than getting to a store with hopes of finding a cute new top or jeans and realizing that you only have 3-4 choices bc you don't fit into the clothes. Its depressing. I don't want to be depressed. I wanna stay happy and be the person I KNOW I can be.




So far so good! lol  And I couldn't have done this without the constant support from family and friends. You guys are amazing!  Thanks so much for being my cheerleaders! :)
