Baby weight...

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired of this baby weight...and I had a hubby throw a intentional, hurtful, but thoroughly truthful spanner in the works...he said "you know, you don't really have an excuse for the baby weight anymore, she's two now!"...ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!  Are you actually going to stand in front of the lions den and mock him!  Oh yeah baby you better believe it...

Well, I never, what can I say...nothing actually its true :(

So I went to my 15th weigh in class and I lost 1.5lbs, I was chuffed as muck.  Oh but then I got slammed by the weigh in lady..."you know Mummy you should be losing a lot quicker then what you have been"...well I shot her down with a barrage of excuses...oh yeah... shot...her...down!

Sat in my car and realised she was right, I have been excusing my self from losing weight for the past 6 months, at the rate I was going I was going to pick up that loss in a matter of two weeks of more excuses, so it wasn't truly a win...

I'm now on the computer blogging away about my woeful weight issues like every other mother, only to tell you I have lost 7 pounds in 2 weeks...SAY WHAT! I know...my secret, 2 things, actually 3.

I went on a diet of excuses, no more excuses.  Part of the barrage of excuses was the fact that "I have no will power"  boo freaking hoo!!!!  So I am now treating my will power like a muscle, I exercise it everyday...I practise my No's and alternative choices, sometimes I forget to strengthen that muscle, but when I do remember, I don't beat myself up about it I get back into the routine of exercising it...

Speaking of exercise, I have started learning to jog...I believe it has had an amazing result in the phenomenal loss I am currently experiencing...

So checklist for Serene's mother baby weight be gone diet:

- no excuses
- exercise will power
- jog

Ok, easy...

Good luck to all the mothers struggling with their kiddy weight...I feel your inner guilt, inner war with self and continuous determination to eventually get back into your pre baby jeans...
