Baby Weight Be Gone!....hopefully

I don't know why I do these things to myself. On top of everything else we've got going on in our lives, I've decided to hit the gym nearly everyday and start a diet. Who needs sleep?! lol My cousin Amanda started this diet called Body by Vi and she's been really successful. It's kind of like the Slimfast diet, drinking 2 shakes a day and then having a good dinner. The shakes are different tho. You add the powder to your milk of choice and then add things to enhance the drink. Today I made a chocolate/butterscotch shake. With only 12 calories in a TBSP of cocoa powder and 10 calories in the fat free butterscotch pudding mix, it was a low calorie cup of awesome!! I've been on the challenge for a week and I've already lost 4 pounds and 3.5 inches. Pretty excited about what's to come.

I cannot believe I was this pregnant. This was how I looked the day I gave birth.

I found a workout program online called Live Fit. It's by Jamie Eason. She's an awesome fitness model who's adorable. She breaks down every day, giving you specific workouts for the day. We've got one more day and we're finished week 1 of phase 1. Surprisingly, my muscles aren't killing me like I thought they would! They're tender, but in no way do I feel like I can't perform daily tasks. Pretty excited about that as it makes me feel like I'm not such a fat ass :) I also downloaded this couch to 5K app which ups your running daily so you're able to run 5K in 8 weeks. I've never been a runner but have always wanted to. I'm hoping that all this work combined will potentially lead to a 5K run next summer....or maybe even at the end of the summer :)
