Figured out something needs to change!

So, we all know when you have a baby you gain weight. Well....I gained enough weight that people thought I was having TWINS! I just started telling them, "nah I'm having triplets"! Then they would go "REALLY? Girl, you look good!" Lets just say it made this over weight preggo girl feel A LOT better. I took "eating for two" to a whole new level. Well, ALL the weight just doesn't go away. So, to all the girls that think that, or has ONE friend in that case...to MOST of us we have to work really hard to get it back off, and I figure by the time you get the baby love fat off from your first baby you see those wonderful two pink lines again, and you have to start over with the weight gain. Uh. This is why grandmothers wear moo moo's they just gave up. So, since most of us don't have personal trainers that come to our house, and the chefs that cook us our wonderful low fat/ high protein meals. We do it on our own.

So, I'm in the process of trying to get all this baby love fat off right? I'm online the other day talking to my mom... telling her yeah I need to lose weight... my goal weight...blah blah blah, and here it comes..She goes "Oh yeah!? That is my goal weight too!" WAIT. WHAT!?! PROBLEM HERE! Yep, that had to changed right then and there. I am 24years old with the SAME goal weight as my mother! Lovely. Nope not going to happen. The only problem is now I feel like my mother is going to beat me to my "our" goal weight. AH! I know everyone says, "Man, I USE to be in shape." "In high school I did this or that, or wore this size.", but really I was somewhat in good shape before I got pregnant. Never once did I think I would get excited about just loosing two pounds! But I did! Had to text Chip as soon as I stepped off that scale. Boy, do I have a LONG way to go.

Something else that drives me crazy. This too happen to me just a couple of day ago. I was talking to a girl that just had a baby, and yeah she looks better than I do she is one of those ONE friends that lost all her baby love fat all at once.(Come on girls you know that is one of the first things we look at..thinking to ourselves " Have I lost more weight than her?!" or "Do I look like that?!"or "Man I thought I gained a lot of weight!")Well, all she kept doing was looking at my stomach not my face. I could not even talk, bc all I wanted to say was..STOP looking at Myrtle! (Myrtle is my baby love fat, Yeah, I named it. It all started with "Girdle-Myrtle", "Myrtle can't stand the spanks", "Myrtle needs to be in the girdle. Not really sure WHY it stuck, but it just did. Probably my husband. I wanted to be like "Myrtle doesn't like attention, and for sure doesn't like people staring at her!"

So, to say alllll that. I figured out I needed to change something, really anything. I'm running, lifting weights and spinning every day, well, ALMOST everyday. Boy, is Myrtle hating every minute of it!
