So....I have returned
So, it's been awhile. My life has changed quite a bit the last 9 months or so.
Six weeks ago I gave birth to my beautiful daughter Iva.
I managed to put on a whole lot of weight during my pregnancy, which I cannot wait to take off!
At the end of my pregnancy I was about 305lbs, and am now aroung 277, I still have 40lbs to go before I am back to my prepregnancy weight.
I have been counting my calories and trying to hit about 2000 (I need an extra 500 a day since I am breastfeeding, which is why I am not doing 1500).
I have starting exercising today! I wanted to wait until the six week mark as my joints were loose from being pregnent and it takes about six weeks for the to tighten up again.
So back to it. I have had to readjust my goals, and there is no way that I can devote as much time as I used to to exercise.
It is winter and snowing, and cold, so no outdoor exercise for me. I am doing dvds, and am going to aim to do one video at least three times a week. Once the warmer weather is here I will be doing lots of walking. As it is now, when the temp is around 0 and there is not too much wind, I head outside.
I think that is about all for today, I hope to get back on this site regularly, but I can make no promises. The baby is pretty good must of the time, but I cannot type and hold her at the same time!
Have a great day everyone, it's good to be back!!
