An actual update…

Posted by: londonjulz In: General

I haven’t weighed myself to see what my re-start date is.  I know I’m not back over 200 pounds.  My lowest weight on record for this journey was 188.6 and that was back in August.  My weight right now is probably around 195.  7 pound gain from my lowest.  It’s really disheartening but I’m glad if it’s not over 200 pounds.  

My husband and I have been going back and forth on the having another baby discussion for a few months now.  We are both in agreement that we want more kids and there’s no time like the present.  We have decided that when we have more, unless the first try comes out in twins, we want to have 2 back to back like we did with our first two.  Jacob and Kylie are so close and such great little buddies.  They defend each other and play so well with each other that to throw a third one into the mix might cause a little bit of friction - so we’ll have two more back to back and hope it goes as well as it did the first go round.  We love kids and I know the one single reason we’ve waited so long between them is because of the weight.  Kylie (our youngest) will be 3 in February and I didn’t want to wait so long to add a third one in there.  My goal is to be safely in the 160’s before we start trying for #3.  I’m setting the baby-making goal at 164.  30 pounds (give or take depending on what I weigh now).  It’s frustrating to me to know that had I kept up with everything at the pace I was going at, I’d already be at that goal.  Oh well, live and learn.  At least I didn’t plop myself back up to 262 pounds! OYE! I’m already much healthier than I was when I got pregnant with Jacob.  When we got pregnant with him, I weighed 232 pounds.  So I’m at least 37-40 pounds less than that right now.  That in itself is so awesome to me!

So, after Thanksgiving I will be back on this journey again and striving so hard to get to baby-making goodness.  I would like so start trying in April or May of 2009.  So I’ll have Dec, Jan, Feb, and March (possibly some of April) to lose 30 pounds.  I CAN do it, I CAN do it, I CAN do it!!!!! :D

So, there is the update! YAY!  See you after Thanksgiving!
