A much later update....

It's been forever since I've written on here but I just got lazy.
I have been busy working and doing many other things but I am going try and do better now. Here is an updated picture and I am still eating REALLY healthy and working out. I will post more detailed updates later...

Day 25

I took a couple days of rest and it felt great. My muscles had a chance to repair and when I started working out the next day, it was a piece of cake. My muscles felt stronger and I was able to do a lot more.
I raised my arm weights and leg weights. I am now doing 50lbs for my arms and 70lbs for my legs.
I still need to do my measurements but I have been lazy about it because I am really not worried.
I gained a couple pounds after resting a couple of days and I believe it was just all muscle due to my very healthy eating.
I am really loving it and it doesn't even feel like I've been doing this for 25 days! It feels like a week.. haha.
I also pulled out new pants and shirts from my pre-prego box and I am starting to fit old clothes! Woo hoo...
Let me know if you want to start or need someone to motivate or help you! I could always use a friend to stay healthy with!

Size 8

I am now a size 8! Starting at a size 12, I am really making progress! I am hoping to end at a size 2 or 4 which what I was before I got pregnant but I have lots of time to keep the work up and lose more weight. I have not measured myself at all but I am thinking about starting. All I know now is my size 12 jeans are falling down my bum and my size 8 are fitting perfect! YAY!

Day 20

For some reason today was a little harder for me... Maybe it was because I took a walk with the kids and my mom before I worked out or maybe I did not eat enough beforehand but working out for 45 minutes was a lot tougher than yesterday. But the nice thing is after doing it, I felt that much more accomplished.

Today is day 20 of getting healthy and I seriously feel great. The hardest part of it all is getting myself to slow down to let my muscles take a break. As far as eating... I feel like my appetite has gone down quite a bit. I am not having very many cravings and I feel like I am eating less without still feeling hungry.

Before I eat a meal, I try and drink some water so that I don't eat as much and I still feel full and not only does it work, it has been helping my skin and body.

Is this getting easier?!

It's amazing... after 19 days of working out, I can already do soo much more! When I first started, I was only able to burn about 250 calories when pushing myself. As time went by, I was able to do 300, then 400, and today I did a whopping 500 CALORIES in 46 minutes and it wasn't hard at all. I could have even kept going.
Also, I have raised the weights on the machines about 10-20lbs more than when I started. My abs have also gotten a lot stronger as I am able to do a few more sets of crunches and they are not as difficult. It's amazing to not only see myself lose the weight but to feel great and feel stronger. I am so proud and I can't wait to see how my body transforms.

Almost 3 weeks into it...

This is me as of 11/1/10... Weighing in at 160lbs.

(*For those concerned, Yes, I am losing the weight very naturally and healthy! Just exercise and healthy diet.)
