I missed Weigh in Wednesday this week.
I did it on purpose
Because, well
Im torn on wether I want to do it every week anymore.
I currently weigh 148.
I am 6 pounds away from the weight I was when I got pregnant with Easy.
and about 18 pounds from my ideal weight
.
But lately, my ideas have changed about this new post baby bod I have.
Because of the restrictions of pumping breastmilk
I have had to really change the way I do things.
I cant just cut it down to 1000 calories a day and do cardio until I puke anymore.
When I do that, my supply dips considerably... and duh, I know its not healthy.
I have spent the last year, inadvertently rehabilitating my metabolism.
Before pregnancy, if I ate more than 800-1000 calories a day, I would gain weight
because thats how much I was used to eating.
Now I eat anywhere from 1500-3000 calories a day
And I'm losing weight slowly but surely.
I have been lifting weights like mad
I have really liked feeling strong
(I can deadlift a measly 100 pounds... but I'm proud!)
I know that this muscle building also contributes to my lack of substantial weight loss.
sometimes I step on the scale and feel angry
frustrated that I haven't shown any improvement on that stupid electronic day-ruiner
I need to get better at looking in the mirror and saying,
"Hey, I look guuuuud!!"
Im not just trying to look skinny anymore
I want to have a great butt
I want to have buff arms
and great legs!
I want to look great in clothes
and ahem, otherwise.
I want to be able to carry this heavy butt around.
So from my start at 158 in June
To 148 now
I feel like im LOOKING better.
and not just 10 pounds better
but stronger better.
This doesnt mean I'll stop posting about my weigh-ins..
I think they just might be a little further apart.
I'll bring ya'll on my journey to "buff"
xx - r
You look great! Definitely stronger.
