Baby Boy.

Two weeks ago, I successfully delivered a 8 lb. 6oz baby boy. He was born on his due date and is doing very well. I haven't stepped on a scale since my last doctor's appointment before he was born and I weighed in at a whopping 186lbs. I decided not to  get on a scale right after, because I didn't want to shock myself and/or be depressed with how little weight I lost!

Today, I decided that I would step on a scale and see where I was at weight-wise. I will say I wasn't shocked at the weight loss, but I wasn't totally disappointed either. I guess it was about where I expected to be. I was about 165lbs today. Thus will be my kicking off point for losing the rest of this baby weight!

I keep telling myself that I need to jump back on my primal wagon so I can lose the weight and feel better faster. I also know that this will be healthy for my breast-fed baby as well. But for some reason I just can't get started! It's quite frustrating...maybe it's the holidays, stress, lack of sleep, or living at my parents house; I'm not sure. I'm slowing weaning myself off some of the junk, but I'm lacking the fortitude to just completely give it all up.

I will say that Ryan is planning on joining me this time, so that should make it easier!

I need the blog!

Good afternoon!
I sure did text Beth and see if she wanted to do this again. As you can see on her post there are many changes. Beth looks like she is about to explode with a linebacker and I will be there in a few months. I has definitely be rough these few months (in terms of accepting inevitable weight gain) but it is tough to say no to foods that I usually always said no too. This pregnancy puts a seed in your (my) head that tells me "you are going to gain weight anyways, may as well eat the donut!" It is an evil voice in my head!! It has been a struggle. Especially when NOTHING healthy sounded good in my first trimester. But I gained 1 pound because I was throwing everything up! But since I've gotten my appetite back it has been a steady weight gain and too much at that. I went to Crossfit this week and it feels so much better to work out like that again. Walking just doesn't do it for me! Maybe I'm not a productive walker but I feel like if I am not hunched over struggling to breathe then I did not get a good work out in! So, I need to continue to post for some accountablility. Maybe Beth is the only viewer, and that is ok, but I need something so I can get the weight off after the Carter joy is brought into the world!
