Oh, February. You really weren't great, were you.
This past month has not been kind to us, I'm not going to lie to you guys. If you follow me on any kind of social media, then you will probably know the stress we went through throughout February.
Because of this, I haven't actually lost any weight at this point. Actually, that's a fib. I did manage to drop a couple of pounds at the beginning of the month, but have since put those back on through emotional eating. Cake seemed to be my best friend this past month and I am glad to say that I am now in the right mindset to let it go again.
Confidence wise, I don't feel like I have been so down about myself recently. I've had very low moods, but I think because of all the drama with the car/money/dog etc, I haven't even thought about the way I look. Which can only be a good thing. I'm learning that it isn't that important and that even if I do feel a little frumpy one day, it's ok.
One thing I have noticed though, is how much of an effect breastfeeding has had on my chest. I purchased a couple of new bras, and I'm down a cup size compared to my pre-pregnancy size. Whomp whomp. I mean, it could actually be down to the fact that I've lost quite a bit of weight too, but I honestly feel like breastfeeding played a big part. I have certainly thought about the pro's and con's of getting a boob job to them looking young again, that's for sure.
Exercise is another thing I really wanted to focus on, but didn't. In the past few days, I have made an effort to go out with the dog, and I think that may be the right way to go. A no pressure, half an hour dog walk will do for now. If I can keep this up throughout March, then I will up my game a little for April.
I don't know if I am brave enough yet to share my 'before' photos with you guys, but I'm hoping I will have the balls next month.
It is my birthday on the 21st, so I'm sure I will induldge a little on the day, but my goal for this month is to get down to the 200lb mark. I've got my work cut out and 8lbs to drop, but I feel like I can give it a real good go now. (She says, sipping on a glass of wine.)
