Before After

3 three!

So, it's day 3 & I'm sitting drinking ---not soda---not coffee--but water!  I can't believe what a 3 day commitment to this weight loss thing has done for me.  Someone recently told me that anything worth having would be hard to get. I've started to apply this saying in many aspects of my life...including this one!
 
Day 3 ...and I'm feeling terrific.  I can't say that I feel like I've lost any weight....or that that big exercise ball that I bought is actually doing me any good.  For now, it's my inner self that's starting to feel powerful.
 
In the past, I was driven by stress.  I used to work out; losing weight to impress a boyfriend or to look good at family functions.  This time, I'm doing it for me & no one else.  It's a good thing.
 
 

Help! Someone Stole My Body!

I'm back to this site after trying out another popular one.  Extrapounds might not have all the sponsors & media attention...but it does have some great member support.  I love using hte body charts to see my progress---it just motivates me to do more.
 
So, I'm back to Extrapounds.  yay.  You see, after getting married 2 years ago now---I have officially become "fat & happy" (as my best friend put it).  I'd love to get back to the point where I was skinny & happy!  One beautiful little boy later, I am finding my body is not what it used to be...I can't seem to jump into a program.  The 2 month old is messing with my sleep schedule like you wouldn't believe.  I'm lucky if I feel motivated to do anything at all!
 
So, here I am. Oh yeah....you can call me Sonny.  I'm a military wife living on the east coast.  Residing in the areas' most popular beach locations, I'm a little bummed that I'll be sitting the bench this year.  My hopes is that I can salvage at least getting into a bathing suit once this year----I'm too embarassed of what the pregnancy has done to my body!  At this point, all I can do it just TRY to make it better!  Saddly, there's no workout or meal plan for stretch marks :(  boooo
 
Anyways, I'd love to hear from ya!  Best Luck & Wishes in achieving your goals!
 
Bless You & Good Luck!
