Misshapen

So I had my postpartum doctor appt today- and all is well! Doctor says I can begin physical activity now.
I also found out that with the exception of 1lb I have lost all my baby weight!! I am pretty excited about this, because with Bella I didn't lose all of it and still carry it around! However, before I became pregnant I still had weight to lose. And because of my csection I feel like my body is shaped differently - and I still look about 5 months pregnant.
I still want to attain my goal of 30lbs lost by our July beach trip- which would put me at the lowest I've been since 2009.
My long term goal is to be my ideal weight and size by my 30th birthday in May 2013.
I know it will be hard work, especially being a mother of 2 but many other moms have done it! So why can't I?

15 weeks till the beach

So posting often is going to be a challenge with this new baby! But I'm going to try!
I created a mini goal- I have 15 weeks until I go to the beach with my family. I would love to lose 30lbs by then...
That's 2lbs a week, which seems doable! However I haven't been cleared to workout yet so right now I have to concentrate on my eating...
This in itself has been tricky- I find myself snacking more than eating meals :-(
I just need to focus! Until next time!

S.M.A.R.T. Goal

So I'm watching Dr. Oz and he has personal trainer Chris Powell on talking about weight loss. He said we should all make a SMART goal-
Specific
Measurable
Attainable
Realistic
Time sensitive

I like this idea and I am going to come up with my own SMART goal (to be posted soon). He also mentions to try an alternating high carb low carb plan (every other day) with a "cheat day" on the 7th day--- sounds interesting. He claims this will help boost your metabolism and then burn fat.

I definitely will take all this into consideration while I decide my best course of action! Until next post!

I'm baaaaack!

It's been, oh about 9 months since my last entry... And a lot has changed! I had a baby! Shortly after my last blog back in June 2011, I found out I was pregnant :-)

My focus shifted from weight loss to having a healthy pregnancy. Well I am now 12 days post partum and ready to get back at it!

In the next few days I plan on having a plan set up and in motion. Any and all suggestions and success stories (or failures) welcome!!!
