Day 2- some things are better left unposted...

weigh in:  190.2 lbs
gain of:  2.6 lbs

Oh my word- seriously you guys I am kind of freakin' out about this whole number on the scale (10 pounds extra then last time I started).  Even if I lose 40 lbs in 46 days I will still only be around 150!  I keep trying to convince myself this time I will have even more impressive before and after pictures to show for all the work I will have put in...  And then I took my before pictures this morning and almost passed out.  I definitely will wait to post them for fear of giving you all nightmares. :)  haha! (Baby weight looks completely different then just extra weight... I am pretty flabby all around)  So, that is why I think some things are better left unposted until a later date- it will be easier to post these before shots with the after photos.  This may seem completely vain and ridiculous to some, and you are probably right.  I wish I was a better woman in this regard.  

So, as of now I am going to look at the number on the scale as merely progress and nothing more.  You have to start somewhere and you can't be afraid of that place, because it will be a distant memory soon enough.
 

Tomorrow the real work begins! 

 

Day 1- Here I go again!

"And I've made up my mind,

I ain't wasting no more time

Here I go again..."

This will be my theme song, but I won't be alone and I know where I am going because I know where I have been.  Okay, completely cheesy, but what did you expect- too much Rock Band perhaps? :) :)  That really is how it was this morning, though- I just started, decided I wasn't going to stall anymore and that today was the day.   

Anyway, I took my first dose and weighed in and I am frightened!  I am almost embarrassed to post, but here it is my friends:

weigh in:  187.6 lbs  *sad face, sad face*  but, it is what it is and all I can do is move on- I was not able to even come near controlling my weight this pregnancy either.  All three times I have soared up over 200 pounds.  It is crazy, but true!  Oh, I can't wait to get some of this weight off!

 

I am going to do some measurements also and take some better pictures to get the full effect of what is going to happen to my body over the next 46 days.  That's right I am planning on a full 46 day round.  So today and tomorrow are the dreaded load days.  I have only had one doughnut this morning and I am already about ready to puke.  This is not a good sign. :)  No, I am dramatic, but I seriously dislike this part- but just so people new or contemplating this diet understand... DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!!!  Not that I have ever done so, but I know of people who did not heed the warnings and didn't last very long or have very good results.  

Day 23 will be the 12th of February and Day 46 will be the 7th of March.  If all goes as planned, I will be down to a reasonable weight and closer and closer to my ideal weight by summer!  I am seriously so excited!  I wasn't just one day ago, but now that I am writing this post and actually jumping in- I just can't wait to start seeing that scale drop and start feeling great again!!!  Oh, and dumping ALL those maternity and big clothes once and for all!!!  

Thanks to you all again for following me through my pregnancy and now back to my weight loss story!  Your support means the world!  Here I go again!
