Since having Lexi my weight has been all over the place. My last checkup before I had her I weighed 208 lbs. I couldn't believe it. That number was the scariest thing I have ever seen. Not only had I hit 200 I had surpassed it. Ahh!
At my 6 week checkup I was back down to my pre pregnancy weight. I was 20 lbs below my pre pregnancy weight at 12 week post partum.
The problem is since then the weight has been creeping back.
In September I joined a dance class at a studio I teach at. We go to 3 local competitions a year and have rehearsal once a week. When I started I could not believe how hard it was for me. I felt like a beached whale.
So in January I decided I was going to start going to the gym again. I didn't, own a scale, so I had no idea how much I had gained back, but I knew it was a lot since my clothes weren't fitting right again.
That's when the shock came. I am almost back to my heaviest from when I was pregnant. Really? How did this happen? It just doesn't seem possible, but it is.
So now here I am, on week 3 of going to the gym at least twice a week. I am currently on the bike, riding my bug butt off. I know it's going to take a lot of work, but I am really determined to get back down to a good weight, and hope to be at 150 by this time next year.
50 lbs in a year? I know it's going to be hard, but I know it will be worth it.
