Under(pants) Progress...

Ahhh...pregnancy! A glorious time in a woman's life when she can celebrate the life growing within her and dream about the child soon to be had! Right? Anyone? Hello?

Ok, ok! So I was NOT the most pleasant pregnant woman. Hell, I was miserable! But part of that can definitely be attributed to the fact that I gained a whopping 65 pounds. Yeah. I have no shame. I'll admit it. And it wasn't exactly my fault. I mean, if Christian had not had a craving for ice cream every day, I wouldn't have eaten it every day. (And, for the record, I have no idea how this child didn't weigh 12 pounds at birth...)

HOWEVER! Guess what? I have lost 40 of the 65 pounds! I am back to my pre-pre-pregnancy weight! When I got pregnant I was super skinny because I had just lost 25 pounds (Murphy's Law...). And I feel I can best represent my weight loss, and my future weight loss, with this picture...

 

From right to left...

The Institution Panty: Super comfy and super durable. Amazing stretch capacity. Will not arouse sexual attention from husband (unless removed). After one has lost enough weight, The Institution Panty will: bunch up in pants, sag in bottom, not arouse sexual attention from husband (unless removed). 

The "Look-I-Can-Fit-Into-Semi-Cute-Undies" Panty: Also comfy and durable. A slight bit less stretch capacity. Small embellishment and/or color other than white improves chances of sexual attention from husband (chances also improve upon removal).

The "I-May-Be-A-Mom-But-I-Look-Like-A-Sexy-CoEd-In-These-Little-Things" Panty: Comfy only if you are a waif. Durable? Who cares. Stretch capacity? Not much, unless you like rolls hanging over sides. The "I-May-Be-A-Mom-But-I-Look-Like-A-Sexy-CoEd-In-These-Little-Things" panties will ensure sexual attention from husband.

So now you see where I have been, where I am, and where I'm headed. My goal is to be at 130 by January. That is where I was happiest and felt the best about myself. 

I know weight is only a number...but it wasn't about the number for me; it was about the feeling. I want to be fit and I want Christian to understand the importance of being healthy.

I can use all the support I can get! I am committing to three days MINIMUM in the gym per week and will tack down a meal plan in a week or so. I find that being accountable is super motivating. Updates to follow! Any words of wisdom, support, tips, etc. are welcome!
