Turbulence Training Week 8 Day 2
Weight 166. Woot! Although I know some of this is probably due to not lifting since Friday, it is a new low. I always retain a couple of pounds of water if I’m lifting regularly. Thats OK, I can accept it. I do want to get to 164 (with the water weight) by the end of June. June 26 to be exact. That’s what I weighed before I got pregnant and on June 26th I will be 6 months post partum. I know I can do it. I just have to cut out some of the evening snacking. Breastfeeding is kind of magic that way. You would not believe the quantity of food I can eat now and still lose weight!
Another thing…before I got pregnant, I was (gasp) a smoker. So this means I’ve also successfully quit smoking (cold turkey, the day I found out) without excessive weight gain. I have promised myself that I will NEVER smoke again, not only for me, but for my son. I don’t want to set that example for him. A big reason I smoked was my inability to deal with confrontation and my former boss is no longer with the company. He was the one I had conflicts with…me and everyone else in the company. It’s amazing the difference in atmosphere here since he left. We now have a nice, sane, rational boss.
Whew. I don’t know if it’s the heat and humidity or what, but I was really feeling it in the gym today. I had to take lots time between sets for fear of puking.
