| Here I am on Day 1 of taking back my body |
Weight has always been an issue for me since high school. I turned 18 and then BAM 20 pounds seemed to have magically appeared on me over the summer. And so began my struggle with weight.
I have tried quite a few weight loss trends. I have been most successful in reaching my weight loss goals by following Jenny Craig. I even became a consultant. I loved supporting people with their weight loss goals. I knew exactly where they were coming from and what their struggles were (most of the time) but the thing with me was once I stopped eating the Jenny Craig food and tried to follow the plan on my own, I would always end up back where I started. I love food, any excuse to eat something delicious and I am there!

| 3 days after finding out I was pregnant |
Can you imagine my fear when I found out I was pregnant. I put a plan in action thinking I could control how much weight I gained during pregnancy. My goal was to gain between 20 and 30 pounds well lets just double that number and maybe add 5 more pounds! UGGHH I hope someone out there can relate! Otherwise I am doomed.
I lost 30 pounds in the first month after giving birth! I felt great, like losing the rest of the weight was going to be a breeze. I mean come on, everyone says "Breast Feeding is the best weight loss plan"
I was thinking this is going to be so easy, I am going to hit my pre-pregnancy weight in no time, I may even dare, do I dream to say it, hit my WEDDING DAY weight before my son turns one! SWEET... except in my case.
MY BREAST FEEDING = GAIN 10 POUNDS.....
and have absolutely nothing in your closet to wear but pregnancy clothes! Double UGGHH!!
So lets tally up the numbers (and I know it should not be a 'number thing' but a 'how you feel thing') I need to lose a glorious 40 pounds
So today August 23rd 2011 is the day I take back my body, I will reach my goal, I will be wearing my birthday outfit next year. The same Birthday Outfit I have tried to squeeze into with no luck for the last 3 years, I will enjoy looking at pictures of myself again (yes I was a little vain once upon a time but seriously I was photogenic).
The first item on my weight loss agenda is to run the entire CIBC 5km run for the Cure. I believe in this cause and I feel 5km is a great goal to set and achieve in 5ish weeks. I will make sure to keep you all updated on my journey to reaching my goal . Words of encouragement and advice are always welcome!!

Can't wait to share this journey with you! 5km - here we come!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it! Set little goals for yourself along the way so you're not overwhelmed by the bigger end goal as you move through the process. I'm cheering you on!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Aubrey... I know that you can do it! I feel like I'm sharing the same weight gain story that you are, I'm still trying to lose my toddler weight. I've been running and managed to get half of it off but I've got the summer excuses for not keeping up with it. Here's hoping that I can kick myself in the but and get back out there. I'll be watching for stories about your journey and maybe it'll help motivate to keep me going! Wish I was closer to go running with you and Selena. Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. You can do anything you set your mind into! BTW, you look gorgeous on your "the goal" picture!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and listing your blog. I hope you have found new friends there.
I would really appreciate it if you grabbed my button as well!
You are gorgeous honey!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hear you. I have 6 kilos to go. After 9 months of delivering baby, I still tell husband "hey, I just got a baby, give me a break!" he says "when are you going to stop using that card, the baby almost talks?" LOL
I think this is absolutly fabulous! I had been trying to reclaim by body after I had my now almost 6 yr old. Finally after 6 years and another baby I have lost all the "baby weight" and am now at a weight i have never been in my adult life. So more power to you, you can do it!!
ReplyDeleteIt just occur to me that i have not done the right thing since when my husband came back to me, I am Mayer from United Kingdom, I am on this blog to give thanks to whom it deserve. Some couples of weeks ago my life was in a terrible shape because my husband left me and i never believe that i was going to get him back. But through the help of this powerful spell caster called Dr.Ogudugu my life is now in a joyful mood, I must recommend the services of Dr.Ogudugu to any one out there that they should contact Dr.Ogudugu through his email: GREATOGUDUGU@GMAIL.COM because through Dr.Ogudugu assistance, my marriage was restored.
