It's been a long time since I updated about my weight loss. Mainly because there hasn't been any.
And I'm OK with that.
I've been working to accept my body as it is. I have to accept it in order to change it. After I lost weight the first time with Weight Watchers, I knew my body inside and out. I knew what my metabolism was like, what I needed to do to lose a pound...that kind of thing.
After having Colin, my whole body is different, not just my appearance. My metabolism is slower, my hormones are wrecked. I needed to take time off to really get tuned in with my body again.
Some things I've learned:
-I have to workout twice as hard as I did before.
-I have to really watch what I eat.
-Water. Lots and lots of water is absolutely a necessity.
After I cancelled my WW subscription, I looked back through my Tracker to see if I could find any trends. I noticed I eat a lot of bread. Like at almost every meal. No wonder I can't lose weight...I'm bogged down with bread! And I don't drink nearly enough water seeing as how I've been living off caffeine for the last six months. So I decided to do something about it.
I've replaced my morning English muffin with Greek Yogurt and my usual lunch (a sandwich) with a lettuce wrap. I thought I would be starving (and tired as hell!) for sure but I wasn't. I actually felt a lot better. I wasn't as weighed down and I didn't feel as "heavy". These are changes I'm sticking with for sure.
I haven't lost much weight but I'm hoping that will change with my new workout schedule. A friend from work and I have decided to start working out together. We'll be going to the gym 3 times a week. Hopefully having someone to hold me accountable will force me to stick with it.
Stay tuned :-)
