1 year later

Well 1 year (and 1 post) later - I'm 3 months postpartum and no weight loss. That's right. Just after I started the blog I discovered I was pregnant so needless to say, I put my weight loss goals on hold. Thankfully I'm back at pre-pregnancy weight right now which is a great place to start.

I'm also slowing starting to wean from breast feeding so I'll be able to cut my calories more as well - looking to eat no more than 1500 calories per day. I had an eye-opening experience last week. As I was researching how many calories my family should be eating, I found an online calculator that said I should be eating about the same number of calories as my 5 year old son. When I compared our dinner plates however, I was eating almost twice as much as him. I guess that's why I'm at 200 pounds - hahaha. So instead of counting and measuring my food intake, I'll simply make my plates about the same as I make my son's. Stay tuned to see how that goes.

My goals are still the same to drop down to 150 pounds. I will be starting my Power 90 workout dvds and riding the spinning bike until my INSANITY dvds come in. I just ordered them today so it'll be a few weeks before I can begin those.
