updating again

Wow it's been awhile. So when I started eating normal again I ended up gaining back 4 lbs from the idiot proof diet, but have since lost 2 of those. I have pretty much stayed the same for the past 4 weeks or so, but have toned up and gotten a lot stronger.

On Saturday I ran 8 miles in 83 minutes, I am so proud of myself. That is the farthest I have ran, and without taking walking breaks was pretty incredible. I still work out 1-2 times a day but I have been super hungry all the time. There has been a lot of sugar around with birthdays so I have not made the best food choices. I want to drop another 20lbs by my birthday in may. To do this I am going to cut out sugar. By doing this I think the rest will fall into place as I already eat a lot of fruits, veggies, lean meats, whole grains ect.

I have been struggling a lot with thinking that I'm not doing very well because I have so much more to go. I am trying to change this and the last few weeks I keep telling myself how far I have come. Since I stopped the rapid loss after delivery with Gideon I have lost 28lbs, and if you count my heaviest since delivery I have lost 54lbs. I am also still nursing which makes it harder to lose some of the weight because of the increased water retention and fat stores, as well as the hunger from feeding another little being.

I am trying to wean Gideon and hopefully in the next week or two my body will be all mine again :) That sounds so nice. Anyways that's where I'm at and I'm still plugging away.
