Since LO started crawling and becoming more active around 6.5 months I have slowly stated losing weight again. I am about 2.5 lbs above my first doctors office WI at 8 weeks (although from there I lost (5 lbs at the beginning of my pregnancy). I am 1 pant size up from where I was pre-pregnancy and generally feeing good.
I need to start eating better though. I generally eat a breakfast and a dinner but lunch has been replaced with snacking on junk food during LOs naps, so trying to eat more of a lunch this week. Just trying to eat well and be active the week before Thanksgiving. We leave for home on Saturday and aren't coming back until the Monday after, so a long time to be home/in vacation mode.
I have been feeling sluggish lately. And I know its my diet. I started back at the gym again. I use to only go for walks but I need more movement. I brought my kettle bells out of the closet so they are visible. I have been bringing lunch to work, this helps. But, I too tend to start snacking on junk and need to snack healthier. I am not a bigger eater during Thanksgiving. My calories go to sweets and that is probably worse. I need to limit the sweets.
I haven't posted in awhile. I've lost 55 pounds since J was born. It's a combination of better eating and being up and moving. We also try to get a walk in everyday.

A gal at work started leading a free resistance bands class over lunch twice a week so I have been doing that. I realized that it is my first true, structured exercise since I was pregnant with DD1.
Cold weather climate people, what will you be doing to stay active this winter? I was proud of myself, the girls and I were spending at least an hour outside every day when I got home from work but with the combination of the darkness and the cold I am not sure what to do now. I also usually wear C on my back and I need a babywearing coat or something more substantial to keep her warm.
^^^ those are a bunch of excuses. Help me bust them so I can stay active!
peachesncream do you like classes? That's I think what I miss most about pre-baby exercise. I use to be a class junky. I am hoping I can start going again every once and awhile now that I am a little better about leaving LO. Still a WIP on being away from her, but it's definitely better (for both of us) than it was.

Yes, I love classes but I don't currently belong to a gym! I wonder if any place around here has drop-in type classes. I used to have kettlebell class over lunch at my old job, I miss it so much.

I prefer boutique classes to gym classes. I actually don't think I've ever belonged to a gym. Though to be fair I've had one at work or in my apt building or had access to college facilities for my entire adult life.

I will have to look into this! Most boutiques around here are yoga - I think that is the hot thing right now - and I am not sure yoga is the right fit for me. I am sure there have to be others though.

I'm too fat. That's where I am, in all honesty. But, I'm not doing anything to help the situation, and I NEED to get my head out of my ass and figure it out. I learned that morning before work workouts are not going to work for me. My goal was to start working out this week - but then I got sick. My non-negotiable needs to be 3-30 minute workouts per week, so this will start next week. I need to be better about food and making better choices. I don't like myself right now, and the only thing that will fix it is getting back on the healthful living train.

This is me, too. Hugs.
For me, it's usually I go to the gym or I don't end up working out at all. That's not going to cut it because now K has been needing to eat breakfast and then nap as soon as I get back from taking the boys to school. So, many days, I can't get there to get a workout in before noon when they close the childcare for the afternoon.
I saw a size 6 dress in my closet yesterday that I wore to my cousin's wedding Sept 2014. I'm currently a 14. I have so many sads. I am really struggling finding the will.
Another mama I know from baby play group asked if I wanted to walk and now we have a whole group going tomorrow! I'm very excited for group activists and making friends!

Hugs mama! It can be so tough. I always used to work out first thing in the AM. But that just isn't realistic any more. Fit it in when you can! It sounds like you set an attainable goal for yourself which is fantastic! You can do it.

Commiseration tit. We'll figure it out soon, right? The cute, fun clothes in our closets WILL fit again.
