Slow burn

It's been three years since I bore my last child, and 5 since my first. I am not one of those people who's body instantly snapped back into perfect pre-baby condition, so for 5 years I've been struggling to lose as much as I could hope for towards prenatal status. That 55 lbs I put on with Annie was brutal to say the least. She has turned out pretty cute so I can't complain about that outcome.


In 2010, I lost and kept off 8 lbs. Not a tremendous feat, and not without many trips to the gym associated with it, but nevertheless, not quite there yet.

So for 2011, I hope to keep up the trend and lose another 7-8 lbs. That will put me right back at pre-Annie status and hopefully be a continuation of a healthy eating regimen that has been the cause of most of my weight loss.

I promise you, I still eat bacon, drink beer, and have a sweet every so often... But I've taught myself to stop eating when I'm not hungry, and eat healthy green things as a main staple (bacon being a special treat). What a difference it's made!

On a side note, my wonderful personal trainer at the Y has been politely harassing me to come back in... Which I will do soon, I promise Joy ;).
