{Day 20...stumblin' and strugglin'}

Day 20, Monday: Get real. Share something you're struggling with right now.

As superficial as it sounds, my weight. That's what I am struggling with the most right now. Ten or so years ago I did the no/low carb diet and lost 55ish pounds. I kept it off for several years. Got married, moved out to the country {ya know, where the eatin' is good} and probably gained 10 pounds of that back. Then, I got pregnant. I gained 40 pounds with my pregnancy and have had a hard time getting rid of it. Nursing didn't even help me lose any of the weight. And it feels like I could just look at a pizza and gain 5 pounds. Seriously!   

Anyhow...

I've been dieting for 3 or 4 weeks now. Eating really healthy and exercising more and the weight is coming off sooooo slow. I've lost a few inches, but I'm not as happy with the results so far. As drastic as I changed my eating habits I feel like I should have lost more by now!

Grr! Such is life.

  6. I struggle too especially when Aunt Flo is in town. Ha! Like this week I feel like I have gained 20 lbs... One thing I try to remember is :: It takes 4 weeks for you to see your body changing, It takes 8 weeks for friends & family and it takes 12 weeks for the rest of the world.. KEEP GOING!
    Love ya Girl! I am here if you need :)XO

  11. When you told me you lost inches I might have gotten a little jealous. Thinking INCHES! The weight is definitely not coming off as fast for me this time either. Grrr is it because we are in our 30s?
