Reality is starting to set in. I'm less than 2 years from 40. When this little girl becomes a teenager, I will be in my 50's! The clock is ticking and I want to be on the healthy side so i can keep up with her!
Being pregnant was a delay, but I didn't gain too much weight. It won't take me long to be back to where I was when I hit pause on the weight loss. In the meantime I have created a gym snob in Ryan. I signed him up for a 51 day challenge with a trainer in the spring. He went, kicking and screaming, but he did it. He has fallen in love with working out and lifting weights. He is seeing some real results now, including weening himself off insulin. Now he is counting the days to when he can start training me. I love it!
Nursing and weight loss will be a challenge for me, but I am equally committed to both and I'm not willing to sacrifice either one for the other. It is going to be tricky. In the past I've let myself eat whatever justifying it by telling myself I need the extra calories to nurse the baby. I know it's not true though.
So for now I'll do what I can. Baby steps back into my routine. I'm excited to continue on my journey to be Fit by 40 and to have my sweet husband working right by my side is an added bonus I Only could have dreamed!
