Mommy's 9 months on 9 months off: The Plan

Well, I am happy to say that I have been losing my baby weight pretty well so far. I gained 36 pounds during the pregnancy and in the last 5 months since Landon was born I have lost 25 pounds! I have been walking pretty religiously in the morning. Landon and I have become "mall walkers". It's pretty cute because I am the youngest one by about 40 years! All the ladies love to look at Landon when we pass by. I have a little couple who always talks to us and ask how my weight loss is going, so cute. This plan has done well for me so far, but these last few pounds are being a little more stubborn so I have a new regiment. Since I am working at Gold's Gym I get a free membership, and let me tell you, I am putting it to use. I have a personal trainer, Nicole, and she is going to whip those last pounds right off! We are going to be meeting 3 times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and I will continue our "mall walking" on Tuesday and Thursday. My minimum goal is 10 more pounds, but seeing as though I got pregnant right after the holidays I think that my pre-pregnancy weight was a little skewed, so my stretch goal is 15 pounds. My goal date for accomplishment is July 1st 2009!

I started the weight training with Nicole on March 4th and so far so good. She makes me feel the burn. It has that "hurt so good" feeling. She started out a little light on me but yesterday she showed me no mercy! So, I will keep you updated as to how this is going, but by putting it on here it will hold me to the fire! Have a health inspired week!
