Sorry for the disgusting-ish title, but I found it funny and it had alliteration.
After almost 10 months of claiming my weight gain has been from the child I birthed, I have decided to say enough is enough. I have struggled with my weight since the end of high school, which worsened during college and even more so after moving to Japan. In Japan, I didn't work or do, well, anything so I ballooned up to 235 lbs. (which on my 5'5 frame, did not look pretty)
It took about 8 months of running, stair climbing, weight resistance, working out twice per day and eating high protein/ low carb/low fat. Needless to say I dropped weight very quickly and looked much better. I got pregnant, ate ALL the time (anything I wanted), and stopped sweating myself to death. I swore as soon as the baby was out, I was back in shape. He came out, I started to workout, but nothing consistent. I gained more weight, as I was exhausted by motherhood and never wanted to cook. Take out became our go to dinner.
Here I am. 235 lbs. once again. This ends now. I will get back to looking better and feeling like something that is not featured in Ghostbusters (marshmallow man, for those of you who did not get the reference).
This is a way to stay accountable; and since I have many friends who are fitness "experts" and one who is a Zumba instructor/fitness guru (for real) I will get people's advice and input. Thanks for interest.
