... When I found out I was pregnant with Avery I was stoked! Most everyone knows but I had a miscarriage in February of 09'. The 2nd time that I found out I was pregnant I told myself I was going to relax, not worry, & enjoy it! I did little excercising & ate whatever I wanted. BAD MISTAKE! I gained 40 lbs with her. Although it wasn't HORRIBLE, I still gained too much. I have a totally different way of looking at life now & plan to do my next pregnancy completely different. I hope to continue work out classes & eating healthy all through the next & only gaining 20!
I have been hard core working at the gym & eating the best I can. I have had a few slip ups maybe every other week on one day, but that is it. I think you have to give yourself a little cheat day here & there. But, with regular excercise amazingly I have still managed to get off the first 12 lbs. Im not sure what my goal is. I just want to be fit & feel great! So when I see alot of toning & the extra weight come off I will not be so strict! But, until summer, it's hardcore. I have a fun beach trip planned with the family & need to be ready for that!
I thought I would share some of my fun Holiday decor with you. I love decorating for each Holiday, it's something I have always done! Here is my breakfast table of goodies!
Congrats Ashley on the weight loss!
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the 12 lbs! You look AWESOME and your hair is sooo cute straight! You are sooo motivated....gets me wanting to do it....I gained 40 lbs with Kelcee and lost most of it but when I started this chemo and steroids I gained some back....

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 12lbs!! That is sooo exciting, and definatly worth the hard workd. Also, love your Valentine's Day decor.....very cute.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! It will all be worth it in the long run. When you get in your bikini this year...you will be like yaaaayy I did it I look hot instead of errrrrrr why did I eat those cookies and not go to the gym.
ReplyDeleteI hate when I wait till the last minute and I know I have to get in a bikini in two weeks to go to the beach and I am suddenly on a crash starve myself diet.
The venus swimsuit catalog inspires me.
You are doing so awesome Ashley, so proud of you! I did exactly what you did, I had two miscarriages so I was afraid to move and didn't excercise at all. This is coming from a girl who used to hit the gym 4-5 days a week. I gained 40 pounds too and really need to lose 15-20 pounds. I am hoping breastfeeding continues to take it off, however, my body needs to be seriously reshaped with some toning excercises. I am so happy for you!!!! Keep up the good work, it really does give you a different perspective on life and only motivates you to keep it up!
