Well as some of you may remember from reading a few of my post, I am trying to get pregnant. I was on the pill for 18 years and just stopped a month ago. I have become OBSESSED with getting pregnant. Eveyone keeps telling me to relax, it will take a few months at least! So instead of being so obsessed with that, I'm going to focus my energies on losing the 10-13 I have re-gained!
About 2.5 years ago I was shopping at Learners New York (a commercial womens clothing store in the mall) and asked a skinny, snotty chick if she could help me find a size 14, she looks at me, rolls her eyes and says "We don't carry PLUS sizes!!!" I resisted the urges to slug her and slumped out of the mall feeling awful. I stopped on the way home and bought a scale. To my horror I weighted 168. I never even broke 100 until I was in college!!!
The next day I bought an eliptical trainer and starting dieting and working out like crazy. 6-8 months later I was down to 128!!! I found it nearly impossible to maintain that. I was working out over an hour 7 days a week and hardly eating. Over the next year or so I stabilzed at 133-136. I was happy and comfotable at that weight.
This year right after New Year I came down with the flu. I was SO sick I didn't get out of bed for over a week. It was 3 weeks before I could start working out again. Then I went on a cruise for 2 weeks in Feb and came down with a really nasty cold as soon as I got home so that was another 2 weeks I couldn't work out.
Well I've been noticing my clothes are not fitting and feeling a bit frumpy! I weighed in at 149 this am! I am 5'8 and medium boned. Currently my size 10 are tight. My goal is to lose 11-14 pounds and be comfortable in my size 8 or maybe even size 6.
I started today with 3 miles (20 minutes) on the eliptical, 10 minutes streatching and 5 minutes of weights. I'm sore but on my way!!
Anyone else up for a challange??? All this talk of Jen in her skinny jeans has got me motavated!!! I figure it will be at lot easier to lose the wieght now, than it will be after baby!
