An update...
Well we are down to something like 60 days before we cruise and I have been workin hard to get my body bikini ready...unfortunately I still have a ways to go but I am happy to report my progress so far! Since having Lexy on May 31, 2009 I have lost about 60 lbs!!! It's crazy to me to think I have dropped that much weight, but at the same time, it's depressing to know I still have about 20 lbs to go before I'm at a healthy weight and it's also sad to think that I let myself get that big in the first place. Granted, I've been pregnant like 30 months out of the last 4 1/2 years, but still...Either way, I'm working hard and trying my best to drop another 20 lbs in 60 days. I'm not sure if it will happen, but I will definitely keep trying!
So you may wonder how I've lost my weight...well it's a combination of a few things....most important- my diet!
YES! I have cut out my beloved Diet Coke! After 20+ years of drinking at least 20 oz a day, I can say that I no longer depend on my daily dose to keep me going. I can't say I haven't had any, but I probably can count on one hand how many times I've had one in the last 3 months. I am now a water only person. I may have an occasional french vanilla cappuccino but that's very rare.
Also, I have cut out my trips to the vending machine for the afternoon boredom munchies. I make sure I eat every 2-3 hours and keep my daily calorie intake under 1200 calories. Now, this does not mean I haven't had french fries or pizza...it just means I have cut that WAY down and hold myself accountable for it. If I really want 700 calories worth of pizza, then that means the rest of my day will probably consist of fruit and water. LOL.
Just as important as my diet, I have gotten my butt up and started exercising! At first I wasn't exercising at all and still dropping weight, then it all came to a halt. I quickly realized that diet and exercise go hand in hand and results will nly happen if you are doing both. So I began doing work out videos at home since it's pretty much impossible to get to the gym working full time and taking care of my three babies at night. So the last few weeks I have been doing a Jillian Michaels work out...WOW, she kicks my butt EVERY time. So since January, I have lost almost 20 lbs!! I am happy, but like I said earlier...still have a ways to go and time is ticking! I won't let myself buy any summer clothes or a swim suit until May. I did go shopping over the weekend for some work clothes...I am happy to say I officially wear 1-2 sizes smaller than I did in January! Shopping isn't so bad after all...hopefully I will enjoy it more in May!
So I don't have before and after pics or even a full body pic of me right now, but here is a glimpse of me right now....my face is always the first place to show my weight....loss and gain...so have a peek....I'll post plenty of pics of myself from the cruise in 2 months LOL
