Weighty Issue
Its amazing how many of my emails with friends are all about trying to lose weight. Now, let me say this: I'm a lucky girl to have gotten my mom's tall genes. Up until now, it has really helped with the weight distribution. But now I'm actually having to work really really hard!
Bummer!! Mama, how did you have 6 kids and still look as great as you do??
I was going to start exercising 6 weeks after Wolfgang was born, but, well, that just didn't happen. I did, however, start working out at Curves on March 24th. When you start, they weigh and measure you. So last week was my 3-month mark and I was weighed and measured again.
>:(
After 3 months straight of working out, I've lost a whopping 5 pounds. I've been living in my workout clothes for this long only to have lost 5 pounds???
This is the picture I keep looking at and telling myself "It could be worse."
I lost a lot of muscle while pregnant because I couldn't do anything. So the Curves lady said I probably gained a bit in muscle weight. And my measurements have ALL gone down, so thats good. But really, its the stomach. My rear and legs are a size 6 and my waist (waist? what waist?) is a size 10. Darn it!
But I have dropped 3 of those pounds in the past month, so hopefully they'll just melt right off! (like ice cream in the sun....Mmmmmmmm ice cream......)
I've been doing lots of activities to supplement the workouts. Lots of walks with the Goo.
Still, I feel like I should be doing more. What is it thats holding me back????
I'll let you know when I figure it out.

Keep it up Heather, 5 lbs. is 5 lbs.!
And 5 lbs of ice cream is 5 lbs. I think Heather lost all of her baby weight in the first three months after W's emergence. Now she has gained muscle mass and burned even more fat. It's like she was never even pregnant. -R
stomach--you think you get a stomach back after this?!
Yes! September 23rd is my goal date!
lol...I'll be right there with you in a few months!!! Though I am liable to gain/lose weight differently (and not in a good way) then you do heehee...

You look wonderful Heather!
