I have cut most things other then water from my drinking schedule. (Obviously I could never cut out Vanilla Coke.. That's a given) When I found out I was pregnant last March, I did the same. I cut all other drinks out of my schedule and started watching what I ate. I wanted nothing but the best for the baby I was growing inside of me. I was due September 30th, I ended up carrying until October 5th. I knew our little one would arrive when she was just perfect. I became obsessed with eggs, boiled, poached, fried, in egg salad?! I didn't care I put hard boiled eggs in wraps and on salads. It was a relatively healthy pregnancy. There were no medical issues, besides the doctor sending me in for 8 ultrasounds. She thought AJ was not growing right. It turned out I was carrying her closer to my back. She was just well hidden. When I saw other pregnant woman I wondered if I was doing something wrong. She arrived at a beautiful 7 pounds 9 ounces, so the answer was no, I was doing nothing wrong. She was absolutely perfect in every way! When I was pregnant I really took advantage of it. I ate all the time! It was healthy enough and helped my baby grow, but now I pay the price. She is 8 months and I still weigh more then I had hoped. Luckily with the help of my Fitbit Zip, I am able to make sure I am doing everything in my power to lose the weight. I try to get out and walk everyday. I eat much healthier then I used to, I make my own hummus and almost everything AJ eats. I always make sure she has variety, because eating the same thing over and over can make you hate it. I am forcing myself to eat breakfast, luckily AJ enjoys yogurt so I can share with her. Anyways, the goal of this post was to share that I have lost 13 pounds since May 29th. Today was the first day I looked at my scale and smiled because I am finally under 200 pounds! I am so proud of myself and excited to see how far I can make it! I still need to lose 38 pounds to reach my goal, but at this pace I may see it happen faster then I anticipated. I just have to push past the pain. Remember my goal! I can do this!!
