I'm back!

Well its been a while blog land but I'm back!

So since my last post of news that we were planning on trying for our second baby, we've had her! Phoebe was born on 14 September 2011. Here was me at 41 weeks 1 day

During pregnancy I put on a whopping 3st 11lbs going from 10st 7lbs to 14st 4lbs :( Far more than the recommended 1lb a week. P weighed 8lbs 9oz and the day I came out of hopsital I weighed 13st 7lbs so lost 11lbs and stayed this weight for the 2 weeks post birth. So much for the miracle of losing lots of weight in the first few weeks. I'm obviously one of those women that like to hang on to every ounce!

So 2 weeks post birth I started to calorie count and taking things slowly and eating for 1lb loss as I was still breastfeeding my daughter. Six weeks post birth I started to exercise but this was just running and cycling as hubby put a ban on me weight training whilst feeding. This is when I started to track my measurements and take photos. Now I can't believe I'm going to post these but here goes nothing! Here are the last three month pics which hopefully show both weight and inch loss.

02.01.12


Weight: 12st 1.8lb, Waist: 33.75 (-0.25), Hips: 40.75 (-0.75), Calf: 15 (0), Arm: 12.75 0), Full Bust: 38.5 (-0.5), Under Bust: 32.5 (-0.25)

Total weight loss for the month of December 2.6lbs and a loss of 1.5 inches. Not much of a difference in both weight and measurements but I was really pleased considering this was over Christmas and New Year.

I can see a difference in the all the pics but I'm not really liking the back shots as I'm looking more flabby :(

I am replused by these pictures and can't believe how big I've become. I remember posting pics back almost 2 years ago on there moaning about my size 10 body and now I wish I had that body again. In fact there is no wishing I WILL have that body again!

I'll be back later to post about my new training regine and also tomorrow is new pics day. AHHHHH!
