The journey begins...

Now that our little bundle of joy is here, the journey to lose the baby weight has now began The real issue is that I have to lose weight to my pre-pre-pregnancy weight of 175lbs(79.3kgs). That is my long term goal. On the day that I checked in for the c-section birth of Idaishe on March 20th, I weighed a staggering 250lbs (113.4kgs) which was just 16lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight. For someone who is considered obese, that was a good weight gain. That is the heaviest I have ever been and I was determined more than ever to lose weight.

The thing about having a baby is that it is a lifestyle change on its own. I know that diets dont work but lifestyle changes do so I vowed to make time for myself as we adjusted to the new love of our lives. I started walking at about 5 weeks and have worked up to the occasional jogging. My legs are getting stronger day by day. Today I finally broke 100kgs, I have lost the baby weight from #2 so now we battle baby weight from #1.

So now the journey begins, I will remember that the weight took 9 months to put on so I should not be disheartened when I don't see results immediately. It just so happens that the end of the 9 months post-baby coincides with my 30th birthday (yikes) so here's to me being a yummy mummy.

I will be blogging about my routine and progress. Today I weighed in at 219lbs(99.8kgs) and I will check in next week.
