I've been stuck above the 270 mark for what feels like forever. Actually, even when I gave birth to Austin and lost my initial 30-40 pounds, I was still only at 270. Couldn't get past it.
And NOW ... I broke it!!! My scale was finally on my side today, and I hit 269.2 ... I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, so I stepped off and weighed myself again and got the same exact number.
I'm so happy!! It's a great kick of motivation!! I know it's working and I'm well on my way to getting my toned, active body back! :)
I'm sorry if I'm bragging .. but good Lord, I'm so elated. Being stuck above 270 for over eight months has been very hard on me, I never felt like I could do it, and I did!! :):):)

If he doesn't stand on his own (and he hasn't yet, only when bracing onto something can he stand) he gets frustrated and keeps trying.
I'm seriously, SO proud of him!! He just doesn't give up! He knows what he wants and he won't stop until he achieves it!
His determination has been VERY inspiring for me. If a tiny little baby boy can keep up the motivation to stand and walk on his own, then I can definitely keep up my motivation and determination to lose weight and tone my flabs. And I will. Even though I have slip-ups and off days, I always get back on that horsey and keep a-riding (that's what she said.)
And just as Austin will learn to walk one day ... I too, will achieve my goal. Inspiration comes in many forms ...

As the days goes by, I've noticed that exercising has gotten easier for me.
I'm not as out of breath when I go for walks (including uphill!). My legs and back don't get sore anymore. I even feel more energized after my walks! What I used to feel was worn out and exhausted! What a difference.
Also, my weight training (though still difficult) has been getting easier. I'm able to do more sit-ups at one time, and I'm able to get a little further down with my push-ups! And my leg lifts aren't as tiring.
I must say, I'm very proud of myself. For someone who hates (!!!HATES!!!) to do any form of weight-training, I've kept it up daily and am now finding it easier. That's a HUGE step in my book! And I feel like I'm starting to tone down in certain areas. While walking today, my legs didn't feel quite as jiggly (oh, the still jiggled .. just not as much!)
Also, falling under the category of "getting easier" ... feeding Austin chunky foods! Today's dinner was actually not too bad, he was able to eat a lot of the chunks with minimal fighting back and gagging .. as a matter of fact, he didn't gag at all. After a while, he started spitting out the chunks .. so it's still an uphill battle to get him to eat them, lol, but we've made progress and I'm really, really happy about it! Every small step is a HUGE step for me and I feel confident that in no time, he'll be eating and chewing like all of us! :)

At first, upon reviewing my day, I started to feel guilty about it. I've been so good about getting out each day for at least two walks, and then doing my work out at home .. I was all, "should i take a break, or should I get on with my exercising?"
But you know what? It's okay to take a break. Babyfit doesn't rule every second of my life, nor does watching what I eat and exercising. I'm human and if I feel the need to have a day off (diet-wise) then I should have one.
Tomorrow is a new day, and now that I've had a day off, my muscles are refreshed and I'm ready to get back on it! I'm thinking of making this a weekly tradition .. Hmmm
