Getting Fit Post Baby

Alexandria lifting her head during tummy time.
It's been 90 days since the wonderful Miss Alexandria joined us.  90 is also how many pounds I would like to lose now that she's here.  Yep.  I have 90 pounds to lose.

My focus the past year has been my pregnancy and caring for my newborn daughter --  not myself.

My habits have gotten horrible and I really need to start being healthy again!!!


Today I was able to get some exercise by taking a walk outside during work - just like I used to do -- what seems ages ago.

I will have to start eating better too.   Back when I was at my ideal weight, I had a packet of Raisin, Date and Walnut Quaker Instant Oatmeal for breakfast every day.

Lately I have been eating a bacon, egg and cheese croissant with a sweet tea.

Talk about a huge calorie difference!!!


Since I moved to Georgia sweet tea has become my worst vice. Seriously, it is like a drug to me.

I need to follow my old lead!

So.. in a huge change of events -- My weight loss blog will acutally be me losing weigh again!

Your little one is sooooo cute! Congradulations! Once one makes a decision to start getting healthy again, everything's easier. It seems to be the decision is one of the hardest things to do. I lost 50lbs 3 years ago and gained back 15. Recently I've lost those pesky 15lbs and have another 45lbs to go. It was soooo hard for me to get back started again but I seem to have found a rythm - slow & steady with the emphasis on steady. Good luck to you!

Yay! I'll be wishing you the best, Jess! I discovered your blog a while ago and it has a been a source of inspiration for me during my own weight loss (now for losing 75 pounds).

Just remember that "slow and steady wins the race!"

You can do it! I've been following your blog for a few months and found it inspiring for my weight loss! I have two little ones, 3y and 10 months and am trying to lose the weight that crept on since having them! I'm down 30 out of over 100. I've found blogging really inspiring! I'll keep following you!

Your daughter is adorable. I have three little ones and I love doing Mommy and me dvd's. It give me time to workout and also cuddle my baby. The one I have has Jennifer Nicole Lee in it and the baby loves the moves. I have about 100 pounds to go still so our goals are pretty close. Look forward to reading your blog.

Dieting is not just about food and eating. Actually it is a change in whole life style. Most diet conscious people think that dieting have to mean “all-or-nothing”. But it is not true. I am also diet conscious but I never skip even one time meal. I am a huge fan of home cooked food. I use protein and fats in my food. It seems to make me feel great all the time.

Wow Wow and WOW!! I just found your blog and I am SO INSPIRED by your before & after pics!!!! Would you mind if I post them (with a link to YOU of course) on my blog "before & after" page? I've just started a public weight loss blog myself with the goal of losing 100 pounds before I turn 40. (I need to lost more than that, but it's a start!) Thank for you for being and inspiration. People magazine should TOTALLY have chosen you! :)

Weightlossgirl said...

What a BEAUTIFUL baby, from a BEAUTIFUL momma! Sweet tea has been ruining me too, you dont even know, i am definitely about to just totally give it up..

Kat said...

OMG!! I was googling weight loss blogs for a little inspiration and took a peek at yours and there was your beautiful daughter with the same name as my daughter! I have never come across anyone who has used this name and my daughter is 11yo! The only difference is that I spell hers Alexzandria. So now I must read your blog because of your amazing taste in names!!

Nathan Vu said...

I also Google "Weight Loss Blogs" to get here. I was like what's a baby doing on a weight loss blog. Beautiful baby.

Tammi said...

I think it's great that you realize that weight loss has to be a permanent lifestyle change, many people just don't get that!! And that's why we have such an obesity problem. I hope you are still doing good and making progress. I have a weight loss blog as well & have lost 130 pounds so if you ever need someone to trade notes with, compare battle wounds lol, etc. definitely contact me!!!

Try having your tea with stevia, and lemon, it tastes great, not artificial, no calories, and a great substitution for sweet tea. :)

Jess, I ran across your blog and I think that you getting out and walking is a great way to get in exercise. I love walking. A friend of mine is on the Roca Labs weight loss formulas Sure, she's losing weight, but she walks everyday as well.

Good luck on your weight loss journey I am sure you can do it. I only had one child then had my tubes tied, one was plenty.
Having a kid should actually make it easier to lose weight, go for lots of walks with your baby, get something to carry the baby, pushing a stroller is okay, but carrying is way better. My daughter was over 10 pounds when she was born. I had a snuggly thing that I carried her in, it was great. Unless raining I always went for a walk, around the block, to the park, to the store, whatever, it really does make a difference if you get out and walk. Good luck
great blog, enjoyed
