Making steps in the right direction

Well it's been awhile since I've posted, but I've been a busy lass as of late.

I started doing my exercise regime with Just Dance on Monday...I do the hard program which is six songs back to back, plus I choose the ones that will make me sweat it out to the highest extent. It's amazing how rejuvenized you feel once you include daily exercise into your day...granted, I had to convince myself to get into it..it's easy being lazy and harder to get out of your usual lazy regime.

What convinced me to go back into my diet/exercise regime full force was the bridesmaid dress I tried to fit into. My mother in law noticed how much cheaper it was to get it off the rack rather than shelling out 175 bucks to get one in my size...so I decided I would work my plump butt off and shed 30-40 pounds before May, which is the wedding (to be technical I have to lose the weight by april or most of it, so I can make sure the dress fits me). The bridal rep was obviously heisitant to allow my mother in law to purchase the dress on the rack when she looked me up and down, but thankfully my mom in law chimed in and said she'd seen my progress with weight loss before I had my baby, and that my baby was only 2 months so naturally I wasn't back to my prior weight. So with the encouragement of my mom and sis in law, I have made it my goal to fit into that dress (it's a size 14, I'm a 16/18 atm).

But...

Even with the encouragement...I'm still frustrated at myself. Now, I KNOW it's silly...I should be kinder to myself blah blah blah there are reasons why I'm bigger etc etc...but...eh I think I'm still a bit upset that I had lost so much weight JUST to wind up getting pregnant and gaining it back and then some. Right now I'm 190 but apparently from what people have said, I don't look it, which is reassuring I suppose.

It's rather tricky to find time to exercise, but thankfully my fella watches the baby so I can get half an hour during the day and half an hour to an hour at night.

Ah the baby cries, time to go and tend to the little dear...till next time! Wish me luck eh? :3
