Here's the facts: I was born chubby. I stayed that way until 2009 when I lost 40 pounds in 6 months. In 2011 I had a baby. He's beautiful. My body isn't anymore.
I thought it would as easy to lose the weight this time as it was last time. I didn't account for sleepless nights, eating in 5 minutes, and a lack of will power due to the insane cuteness of my kid and his need to be played with. All in all, I haven't lost a stinkin' pound since 2 weeks after his birth. It sucks.
Here's my solution: Run a 5k.
I should add that until now, I only ran if I was in mortal danger. Seeing as how I'm not Katniss Everdeen, this would be NEVER. I'm not a "get sweaty" kind of girl. I hate being out of breath. I hate being hot. This idea to run a 5k is, in a word, insane. However, I am determined so, to ensure my success, I've decided to use fear of public embarrassment. Hopefully, blogging this journey will will do the trick. Pray for me. No really, start now.
Definitely praying for you! I'm on the "lose weight train" myself. Trying on bridesmaids dresses did it for me. I've lost 18lbs and need quite a few more to get back to me. I'm with you on the running thing, though; I only do it in extreme danger situations. Of course, I'm still going to continue that and just do crazy aerobics instead. Good luck!!
