Body After Baby…How Ironic

How ironic is it that after my last post, I would run across this online? Haha. God certainly has a sense of humor and a knack for getting my butt into gear. The goal here is to provide Mom’s with a sort of accountability group to encourage us to get ourselves back into shape and feeling good about ourselves. The challenge lasts 8 weeks, and this is Week One. I don’t know about you, but I know I certainly feel better about myself when my clothes fit loose and I am burning calories during the day. There are mini-challenges each week, followed by a giveaway for those who link up to the site and post about their progress.

This weeks mini-challenge: How many glasses of water can you drink in a week?

For each glass {or for me, bottle because I don’t drink water from the tap}, you get one point. Next Tuesday, you post about your progress and tally up your points. This is a big one for me. If I can cut out all of the CAFFEINE that I drink I can cut some pounds quick. So. The 2 liter Dr. Pepper that is in my fridge…that’s got to be my LAST. I’m going to need to hubster to help me with that one and not let me buy anymore. Sigh. Oh how I will miss thee, Dr. Pepper. LOL Anywho.

Here are my starting Stats [I’m not brave enough to show you guys pictures, so you’ll just have to deal with this]:

Weight: 133 lbs. *Yes, I know that’s not a lot, but it’s more than I weighed when Noah was born and I want it GONE! Not to mention, most of my problem is getting back in shape.*

Inches: Never been really sure how to measure this, but over my “baby pooch” is 31 inches. Yuck.

GOAL: 125 pounds & ATLEAST 27 inches. [Back to where I was pre-Noah. Weight isn’t a huge factor for me because I want to tone up and muscle weighs more than fat. So, as long as I lose the inches, I will be satisfied.]

Head on over Mama Notes to join the challenge. Good luck 🙂
