April of 2011 I had my son Josiah. He was an awesome baby . My weight loss from that point on was pretty quick . With Josiah I gained 40 lbs !! All I wanted to eat was meat, so when he was born my goal was to get the weight off. I nursed which helped a lot and well guess what... I got pregnant again 5 months later!! Miracle right?? Here we are from one extreme to the other.
In August of 2012 we met our beautiful baby girl Sophia. My pregnancy with her was much less weight. I learned the first time that I was only to eat enough to feed a little itty bitty baby not a grown person. With Sophia I gained 25 lbs. Our lives got much much busier as we began to balance life. I lost the weight from Sophia however I still had 10 lbs on me heavier from my final total of weight loss. I began to get in the groove of being a busy mom and trying to live a healthy diet and exercises.... Yeah right !! Everything fell to the weigh side . I did not gain any weight however I was feeling the extra 10 lbs so I started hiking again, this time with Children in tow. Boy was that hard. It was going so well, well enough that well, I got pregnant again !
October of 2014 we welcomed our 2nd Daughter Analise. Oh boy life with 3 is so much fun!! I lost all of the weight except 5 lbs. I now have 5 lbs from each child sitting on me. Was it worth it?
YES it is!! You see when I had weight loss surgery in 2009 my goal was to be at this point. The point where I could run and jump in the trampoline with my kids. The point was I could run with them outside and up the stairs cause they want to race. So yes it was worth the weight gain. But now it is time to move on and get rid of that weight!
Which brings me to today May 4, 2016- Oh the struggle with food is just that a constant struggle. After being pregnant my body definitely developed a higher tolerance. That is bad... cause I can eat things I should not eat where I could not before. I need to get control back. So what I started doing is I researched around and found a plan that would help me reset my mind and pouch. It is part of the bariatric eating website. It is great!! I am pretty excited. Although most of my food through out this regain loss process will be protein shakes and a nice dinner I am pretty excited. Will it be hard? Yes but having surgery was hard. Will I have to move and exercise? YES that is always and should always be apart of you forever. I know for sure my results with my weight loss was because I worked hard to get it off so here I am again back in the game and I am ready! Everyday I have committed to 30 min of jumping on the trampoline very intensely and well I can feel it that is for sure!
I have always said this and I still believe it. This journey is a privilege. I got a chance to regain my life back at 29 years old. I got an extension on life and I have 3 blessings to prove it. It is by my strength ? NO, but by HIS alone.. and well coffee. That is another story for another day.
Here is to the next 7 years of my healthy life!
