I Think I Can!

I started working out gain.  Not the same ol' usually workout.  I'm applying a much harsher workout on myself and I do it five days a week  verses how I used to only workout 2-3 time a week at best.  Biggest Loser said obese people have to work out at least 1 1/2 every day to keep the weight off once they get it off.  I'm not obese but I figure if I work out everyday I will have a good chance of losing some weight.  I have 17lbs to lose.  It's really annoying because I can't fit any of my clothes.  So I was excited to finally be back at the gym.  I LOVE to workout.  So last night I RAMMED my foot into one of the kitchen chairs.  My whole foot went really warm for awhile.  So now I have it wrapped and I can hardly walk on it.  NOT GOOD. So tomorrow I will be working out on the bike instead.  My foot isn't gonna take me down, darn it!  I hate having something always get in the way of working out.

Granted, I have just 'met' you via blogger, but I have to say, you look wonderful wonderful, and the beauty of a new mom is evident to everyone around them!
But I know exactly what you mean, wanting to lose the extra weight. I struggle with the same thing every time I have a baby. I just recently asked a friend of mine when the whole 'baby weight' excuse expires, and she said since I am pregnant again, I was in the clear. But in truth, I was hoping she would say about 3 or 4 years after childbirth ;)
Best of luck to you, and if you need any encouraging, just let us know and I am sure you'll get a bunch of pep talks!!!

I know Kerrie! That's what I'm worried about. I have a really awesome Medela double electric pump that I use in between feeding to increase my milk supply. It seems to be working. As worried as I am about that I also hate being overweight more than anything. I can't even tell you how crazy I get about it. It bugs me. I'm refusing to buy clothes for myself just because I can't fit into the ones I already have. So it's either lose weight or wear the same things over and over. Ha.

Shannon, thank you! :D I know he's only two months old but I guess I can be too hard on myself. I love having babies, just hate the weight gain. I only gained 6lbs this last pregnancy. I wasn't dieting so I don't know why I gained so little. But, I had not lost the 15lbs from my previous pregnancy before this one.
