Saturday Slim-down - Week One

I made a goal to lose 15 lbs in 15 weeks.

A new mom blogging about her weight loss goals, real original, right?

Honestly, week 1 could have gone better. As I was doing some exercises this week, I realized just how out of shape I am. I mean, I got a stitch on my side doing jumping jacks! And really? A breastfeeding mama shouldn't be doing any jumping jacks in the first place!

I did much better in the food department  though. I am not cutting out calories, since I am breastfeeding. Instead, I am simply cutting out junk and trying to eat "healthier." It's pretty vague, but it works for me. 

A huge thing for me is, water, water, water. Once again, especially because I am breastfeeding.

This week I took a few "before" pictures in my bikini from last summer. But for now those are for my eyes only!

According to my extremely-unreliable-at-home scales, I am down a few pounds!

It is probably water weight, but it had to come off sometime too!

Saturday Slim-down

After I had Logan 30 pounds fell off of me in three weeks. It was awesome, and I felt so slim! (Until I made the mistake of trying on a pair of my regular jeans!)

Unfortunately, when I was pregnant I gained 40 pounds though. So that leaves me with ten extra. Also, I gained a bit last summer before I was pregnant also.

I am going to be a bridesmaid in a wedding of a dear friend of mine on October 6th. I am choosing to use that date for my weight-loss goal. 

15 lbs in 15 weeks!

That is do-able, right?

After pinning way too many workouts on Pinterest, I have finally settled on a plan that will work for me. I am feeling pretty good about it. I just have to stay motivated!

Sweets are my weakness. I always feel the need for dessert and candy and sno-cones and much more! 

This is the beginning of week one, wish me luck!
