...have I been classified as "unhealthy", obese really, when measuring my body fat percentage until now. I thought breastfeeding would help me kick start loosing the baby weight, but it has yet to help with that. I've never been one to worry about my weight. As long as I felt good about myself and in my clothes, the number on the scale did not matter to me. I'm still not worrying about the actual number, but if we look at that, I weighed 125 before Peyton and 131 at my 6 week postpartum check up. 6 pounds is it. 6 pounds is the difference between me being in the healthy percentage vs the unhealthy percentage. I started running 2 miles and lifting weights when Peyton was 2 months old. It didn't seem to help, not to mention my eating habits are awful. I have cut out dairy, eggs, caffeine and chocolate, so finding something that works with Peyton has been a challenge. I find myself eating a lot of crackers, oatmeal and whatever other carb is in my reach. I feel like I could eat all day and never get full! So, last week I decided to start Insanity. It's a 60 day beach body workout that I feel would get me where I needed to feel better about myself and encourage better eating and future workouts. The first week was tough considering I'm extremely out of shape and I strained an abdominal muscle. I did what I could and took it easier then I normally would because of my stomach. I started week 2 today and my stomach wasn't hurting, knock on wood. I'm attempting to eat better and give all I can give in these workouts. I want my body back and I want to feel good about myself. Right now I'm not a fan of my body AT ALL.
