Join me.. On my Journey to becoming a MILF!

What keeps me going? A lot of things actually. As you have read I was a fat kid up until I lost the weight when I was 17. I have kept the weight off for 5yrs [until I got pregnant] and I was so healthy and very active. After I had the baby I felt so unhealthy and out of shape [which I was… both] I looked at pictures of when I was healthy and thin and in shape. I was happy. At this point I wasn’t happy. Im the kind of person where if im unhappy about something, in this case my weight… than I will do everything and anything to change it. I knew I lost weight when I was 17 and I could do it again. I missed feeling healthy and active and wanted it back and that’s what keeps me going everyday. Another thing is I want to be hot for my BF [lol] I want to be the “Hot GF again”… I was once the hot girlfriend. His friend even told him and his buddies that I was hot… until I got pregnant. Needless to say my BF told me this when I was at my fattest and 8months pregnant. It hit me hard. I won’t eat away my unhappiness though because [obviously] that will only make it worse. I love how much more feeling of Life I have when I eat healthy and workout. It keeps me going. Everyday.



Man… I was dragging yesterday! I hate Mondays. Seriously. I felt like I was dragging ass all day yesterday. I still went to the track yesterday though. I ran 4 laps [1 mile.. not all at once though. I was doing my circuit training]. 3 sets on the bleachers and 2 laps of interval training and than stretched. I was SOOOOO damn tired when I got home. Usually I am full of energy after a workout but I felt like falling on my face and going to sleep. I think that was my body’s way of saying “Hey dumbass im tired”. I guess because on the weekends I usually don’t workout [those are my resting days] and I mainly just hang around the house but this weekend as I posted previously I cleaned ALL day Saturday and Sunday I went running. We had a yummy dinner last night though. Grilled boneless/skinless chicken breast with whole grain rice pilaf and steamed broccoli. After we got the baby to bed [around 8pm] HA guess where I went? To bed! As soon as I hit the sheets I was out.

Im feeling more energetic today. Maybe cause I got a lot of sleep last night. Im not going to the track today though, im going running at home. Oh and I might add this morning before work I put on a shirt that I used to wear before I got pregnant. I had tried it on after having the baby but ya, it wasn’t working. I had really bad backfat [the shirt is kind of form fitting] and my belly was waaaay to big still. Well this morning NO BACK FAT! Its all gone! I still have some more toning to do in my back but the gross amounts of back fat I got while pregnant are completely gone! My belly still sticks out a bit but it’s a LOT smaller than it was the last time I tried this shirt on. So… I am wearing a pre-pregnancy shirt today :D

BFast: 1 serving [1 cup] of Kashi Honey Almond Flax cereal with 1 cup [actually half a cup cause we ran out of milk lol] of Fat Free organic milk.
 
Thanks Kasey... that makes a lot of sense. I think I need to start defining myself as a stronger person in my own eyes... and then I will be, simple as that. I've got some serious thinking to do, thank you for your input, much appreciated!

Good to hear you're listening to your body about the tiredness. Hmmm, Kashi cereals sound soooo good, wish we got them in my country :(
 
Yesterday

Snack [after BFast]: 1 cup of mixed fresh fruit [Watermelon, pineapple, and strawberries]

Lunch: Fresh deli turkey breast on a whole grain sub role with romaine lettuce, cheese and Basil Pesto sauce [my favorite!]

Snack: 1 cup of fresh fruit [same as AM snack]

Dinner: 1 Turkey Burger [grilled] with reduced fat sorgento swiss cheese, romaine lettuce, tomato, ketchup on a whole wheat Kaiser bun with 1 cup of watermelon.

PM Snack: 1 60 Calorie sugar free dark chocolate Jello cup.

Yesterday I went and ran. I ran farther this time. Instead of turning down my usual street [the first turn on my run] I went down to the second 3rd street. The second street is a dead end. It was a lot farther than I thought but it felt good. When I was done I was sweating bullets everywhere! I came home, cooled down and was going to have an 8oz glass of this Womens Aria protein drink/powder I bought. It says to mix 2 scoops with 8oz of water which I did… OMG it was nasty…. Josh said usually you mix them drinks with Milk which makes sense. Im going to mix it with Milk today because mixing it with the water just tastes really gross.

BFast: 1 cup of Kashi Honey Almond Flax cereal with 1 cup of Organic skim milk and 1 sliced banana.

Snack: 1 banana


Workout tonight is going to the local soccer fields and play some soccer with a friend.
 
GRRRRR so I had to go and get my picture taken today for my new badge [work]. Its taken from the neck up and DAMN I still look pregnant in my face. Im losing weight everywhere but my face. My face is usually ALWAYS the first place I lose weight from. WTF is going on?
 
Im tryin not to... I mean I see progress everywhere else so it still keeps my spirits up but I just dont get it. Ive always gained weight first in the face and have always lost it first in the face. Hopefully in the end I wont be a skinny girl with a fat face lol

I know what you mean, I've always lost it in the face first as well. If you drop your bf% it will eventually go away. I'm sure of it! :D
 
I hope so! I hope its not one of these things from having a baby that stick with you forever! You know some women can never get rid of fat in certain areas... I hope mine isnt my face lol. naaah... itll come off in due time. Just gotta keep eating right and exercising!

Exactly. I was thinking about some cosmetic surgery a few months back. I realized that I can do it on my own, if I can't then I'll deal with it when I reach my goal weight. :D
 
Try not to focus so much on the parts that aren't changing yet :)

And it will DEFINITELY start slimming down at some point, have faith!
 
To recap from yesterday-

Lunch: Fresh Deli turkey breast on a whole grain sandwich roll with romaine lettuce, cheese and Basil Pesto sauce.

Snack: 1 cup of mixed fruit [fresh watermelon, pineapple and strawberries]

Dinner: scrambled eggwhites and grilled boneless chicken breast [cut into pieces] put into whole wheat Pita pockets with fat free mozzarella cheese and 1 tbsp of cilantro salsa.

I ran 2.1 miles yesterday. It was an awesome run even though 90% of the run we were in direct sunlight… call me crazy but I like running in the heat down here lol [Yes I make sure I drink plenty of water before I run in the heat]. My friend ran with me and she told me my pace is def. getting faster because she was starting to get winded fast because she couldn’t keep up.


BFast: 2 Kashi whole grain blueberry waffles and 1 cup of fresh fruit [same as above]
 
that's HUGE about being able to wear the shirt. I do the same thing you do...well I accomplished XXX but XX still bothers me. It's hard not to. you're doing great, esp. on the run. Sounds like you're eating great too

You're off to a fantastic week
 
Okay- Friday ran 2.1 miles

Saturday/Sunday- Rested

Today- Ran 2 miles

Tonight... Ate Mexican :(

Oh well. I ate two soft tacos with grilled steak and a little bit of the spanish rice. I made sure not to stuff my face, which I did not.
 
hi kasey my name is rachel and im in the same situation you are.. im tryin to lose my baby fat, only i waited 2 years to start lol... for the past 2 weks i been walkin and losin weight! i see your in fl, where in fl are you? im in miami. well you can p.m. me anytime... bye and good luck
 
UGH!!!! I know.. Its been awhile since I posted. I am still working out and eating healthy though. I had a doctors appt. today and I weigh the same amount as the last time I got weighed [with the same scale at the same doctor] which was August 7.

I know, I know... muscle and water weight blah blah blah... but still. I didn't even lose not 1lb. 1 - measly - pound.


I am going to start posting again. I figured my body has hit a pretty hard platue EVEN though I have been working out and eating right. Something has got to give. I have hit platues before... but not an almost 2 month long platue!

Here is what I will be doing now... starting tomorrow.

*Monday/Wednesday/Friday*
5am- Wake up, getting running gear on and go run the usual route around the area.
4:30pm- Do 20min. Turbo Jam workout

*Tuesday*
4:30pm- Turbo Sculpt [strength training] for 48mins

*Thursday*
4:30pm- Punch, Kick and Jam [High intensity cardio] for 48mins.


I am DREADING waking up at 5am to go run... I am NOT a morning person but this is something I have to do. I want this baby weight off NOW! I have done it before, I can do it again... no matter how "dreadful" 5am sounds... I would run at 4:30 and than do the 20min. workout but between work, the baby, making dinner, spending time with the baby and Josh and putting the baby to bed I just don't see where I can fit it in other than before work.

I will also be eliminating ALL sugar from my eating style. I hardly eat anything with Sugar now but the stuff I do [Kashi cereal, Kashi bars] I will no longer be eating. I will however continue to have my morning cup of coffee [using artificial sweetener] cause lord KNOWS IM GONNA NEED IT! The only sugar I will be eating, will be natural sugars from fruits.


This totally sucks. I was doing so good [at least I thought I was] and my first goal was to be at my pre-preggo weight by my birthday which is October 21. It is September 23. I doubt I will lose 15lbs by October 21. UGGGGGHHHHh!
