Yesterday and Today

Well today was an okay day in terms of eating, it could have been a lot better though. Yesterday was not great either. Yesterday I had class so I didn't eat anything til after class at 4:00. I drank some raspberry white tea during class though. So after class I was bad and ate a chocolate little debbie cake, and the rest of the day didn't get much better. Tony and I went to Gordy's and I had a cheeseburger, fries & we shared a vanilla shake. Also I had some pepsi there....yeah, not so good. I really didn't wanna go there, but oh well. Also later that night I had another little debbie cake, and some cheetos lol. I'm just putting it all out there. Today I had a lemon poppy seed muffin for breakfast. A 6 inch turkey breast subway sandwich with doritos...and some coke. So my no pop thing hasn't been going great, but I'm not worried. I've cut down so much. It's easier to ween myself off of the stuff. I gotta say though it's so much better when I drink it now, it's like a treat and I really enjoy it. The key is not to over indulge. That's not it for today; for dinner I decided to make chili which I really love. So i had probably a little too much of that with some tea, and now I'm drinking a sex on the beach and feeling pretty good.


I weighed myself yesterday and I was 148, which is the least I've weighed in a really long time. I forgot to mention this, but I guess I can post my weight pre and post pregnancy. Before I was pregnant my weight always hung around 150-155 lbs. My stomach has definitely always been my biggest problem area. Also I am about 5'6. So by the end of my pregnancy I weighed about 185 lbs. The day I left the hospital I was so excited to weigh myself because just after my water breaking I felt like I lost at least 10 lbs. So I weighed myself when I got home and....it was the exact thing I weighed the day I went into the hospital 185 lbs!!! This was after me just giving birth to a 9 lb baby and what felt like 10 lbs of amniotic fluid..not to mention the placenta which i didn't see but can only imagine it weighed something close to what my daughter did. So needless to say I was shocked I didn't even know how that was possible. My feet and legs and everything were so swollen, I guess I retained water and what not. I don't know, after you have a baby your body is just completely messed up for a couple weeks after. Also I had a c-section, so the following week or two I could barely move. The weight did come off quickly though. I would say I lost the entire 30 lbs in about 3 weeks. I definitely wasn't dieting, I guess it's just a perk of having a baby young. Like I said before, my stomach looks nothing like it did before pregnancy though. It is still stretchy, it's covered in stretch marks, and just not attractive. So I just want to lose my belly and try to tone up...of course being healthy is always a goal as well. I love eating healthy I know how important it is, and I love how it makes me feel. Also I'm going to feed my daughter healthy foods right from the beginning so she doesn't get addicted to bad foods like I am...and I want to set a good example for her.

Anyway that's all for tonight I have to go do some work for my online class, and I have class in the morning. Tomorrow my goal is to drink no pop, and no fast food. That is a very achievable goal that I intend on doing. Next blog I'll talk about my somewhat of an exercise routine. Night!
