Personal Milestone

When you have a baby it is always so fun to watch them achieve developmental milestones. Focusing their eyes, holding their head up, rolling over etc. With Isabella I was so focused on her that I never really paid attention to any of the milestones of my own. Well, this time around things are gonna be different! Today, I went to the Lacey Children's Fair with BOTH girls by myself. We had a great time. I'll talk more about it on another posting.

Also, on Wednesday, not to brag too much, I was getting dressed and noticed my maternity jeans I have been wearing since I had Iyla were starting to get harder to cinch up. So, on a whim I got out some of my pre baby clothes and tried on a pair of Jeans I have not worn since we found out were going to have a baby. Nervously I pulled the up and to my amazement... they were big on me!!! I was so excited.

Even though I was as big as a house with Iyla, I did not gain more then 10 pounds. I worked really hard and stuck to the diet in the What to expect book. So far not only is my baby weight gone, I have lost an additional 20 pounds. I know I have a long way to go before I am anywhere close to looking like a supermodel, but I feel really good about what I have accomplished these past 6 weeks.

Along with milestones, another thing I have been thinking about is goal setting. With the weight loss jumpstart I feel almost like I can do anything. I have decided to set an almost unbelivable goal for myself. One that the Leahona a year ago would have never thought was possible. I have decided to do a 5k walk/run next summer. I know it will take alot of hard work but I really think I can do it. And I will of course, share my experiences with you!!
