Hmm...apparently I skipped last week's Shape-up post? I guess so because I can not find it anywhere. Granted, it was Mother's Day & we were too busy having a great time to worry about blogging. Obviously. =)
Let's get down to business.
Last weigh-in: 159 lbs
Current weight: 156 lbs
Yep, WW is still working pretty well for me. I have lost at least 1.5 lbs weekly on average with the plan. I am ONE measly pound away from being back to the weight I was at my first OB appt (Nurse visit)! I'm excited to reach this goal, but at the same time....
I am having a bit of a body wake-up call. Just because I am back to my previous weight does not mean that my body is back. *sigh* If I had been thinking about this realistically, I would have realized that. My body may NEVER be the same again. Maybe I was naive or in denial, but this body I have now (despite the weight loss) is still not the body I want. Even if I lose the remaining 10-15lbs that I want to lose I may still not be completely happy with the new normal. I think I may have to learn to accept my new body & go with it. Obviously, I am going to continue working & continue running & continue pushing myself to be as healthy as I can be, but maybe....
just maybe...
I need to learn to look at my body in a new way.
That may be the fact of the matter, but it's going to be hard. I am my own harshest critic. I don't want people to think "Oh! She looks good........for having a baby." I just want to look good to look good. I wonder if it's reasonable to even hope for that?
How are you coping with the new norm of your body post-baby?
