So obviously I'm an extremely sparatic blogger, I think this is due to the lack of readers I have, but regardless here goes today's post. I've been trying my damned hardest since having Leighton to lose the baby weight and well I've finally reached my goal!! Well to an extent anyway! I'm back down to 147 lbs (I was 144 when I got preggo and was at 235 when I gave birth). I am very content with my progress, now it's time to tone and tighten, but that's another story! So typical quesetion is: "How did you do it?". Well the old fashioned way....sorta. Exercise wise, I did a lot of treadmill running and walking. I've come to learn that I loooooooooooooooove running! It's a great source of stress relief and just plain fun (for me anyway)! Diet wise I just did a lot of portion control and ate a litte more often throughout the day. Aaaaaand last but not least, yes I did take a metabolism booster. They aren't ideal and safe for everyone, but I KNOW my body, I KNOW what helps and what doesn't, so yea I did take that extra "cheating" step, but like I said I was still dieting and exercising regularly. Every once in awhile I did have some lazy weeks, but I really think those helped as well. Dieting and exercising is stressful at times. Always pushing yourself and striving for results sucks sometimes and when you don't get those results you want sometimes you get discouraged....buuuut don't let that stop you COMPLETELY! Don't get discouraged and don't give up! You'll be happy you didn't in the long run! I promise!!!!! Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!!
