Hello girs! I'm joining the club"losing weight-getting fit"... I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one with some weight to lose...
When I had my twins last year, I lost a lot of weight, a month after giving birth I was about 16 lbs less (+-8kg) than before getting pregnant... I was happy because all my clothes were big haha! But it wasn't so funny cause I was so tired after giving birth that I wasn't hungry at all, I onle ate thinking of my babies, as I was breastfeeding them. Some weeks later hungry came back... Until 6 weeks ago when I said STOP!
What works for me is thinking day by day, I mean, I try not to think "in 4 weeks I'll be X lbs less..." That doesn't help me at all. I work day by day, and every night when I go to sleep I feel happy for having eated healthy and light. Another thing very important for me is to eat A BIT of chocolate 8or something that I like and it's not light) sometimes... I love chocolate and now when I eat it I do it slowly, it's like a ceremonial haha!
On the getting fit side, I'm taking bellydance lessons 2 hours per week, and I dance everyday at home, even a little bit (I always practice my shimmies while I'm cooking...) and do some stretching excercies for flexibility.
I hope I haven't written too much and not made too much mistakes.
Now I have to go, I have to prepare my Super-Nice-Healthy-Salade for lunch!
