I checked and phase 1 took me 6 weeks. I am so happy with my progress so far. I can't wait to see how much I can lose in the next 4 weeks. That is how long phase 2 is.
I am going to my In-Laws this weekend and I can't wait to see the reaction to my transformation.
I'm still not in my pre-preggo clothes, but I will be soon. I know it! I am hoping that I will break the 200's in this next phase also.
This journey is hard! But it is so exciting too.

Blah
Today I am in a weird head-space. I feel as if I am getting sick, that same kind of feeling. Today I finished workout A of phase 1 and Saturday I will be completely finished with Phase 1. I will post pictures either Saturday, but probably will do it Sunday with my weigh in. I feel strong and my clothes are feeling much looser. Mostly it has been great.
Some girls were talking about me at the gym today. It really got under my skin for some reason. I don't like being judged and they were judging me. They don't know me, they don't know my goals or what I have been through already. I know I shouldn't let it bother me, but it has.
I am looking forward to just doing cardio next week. I am thinking I am going to swim in the mornings and go for long walks in the afternoon(weather permitting). Also, I want to do my Pilate's video at least 3 times a week. When I did it before I could see a major difference in my mid-section and my pooch.
April I am going to visit my best friend and she hasn't seen me since Micah was 2 months old. I want to really blow her away with all my progress. Plus I feel like I am way behind where I should be. I know that it doesn't matter how long it takes to get the weight off as long as I do it. I just really want to look good now. Who doesn't right!? I guess that is why the weight-loss industry is a multi-billion dollar industry.
I have started some new routines with Micah. He doesn't go to bed with a bottle anymore. I am introducing him to the potty. He is eating more pureed foods. The TV is off during the day. I feel that all these things will help me and him.

Awakening
I have had a few major awakenings in my life. Spiritual, emotional, and physical. My physical awakening is what I am currently going through. I have said it before but this journey to weight loss is different than any other time before. Something inside me just clicked and I started thinking differently than I had in the past.
I realize that the weight loss is a goal, but eating healthy and physical activity is a part of everyday life. I have a large frame and I need to focus on my diet and physical activity moreso than others. I need to learn good habits, so I can teach good habits to Micah. Micah is really why this is so important. He needs to learn at a young age great habits that will make him successful throughout his life.

1 Week Left!
Well, I have one week left of Phase 1 of my training. Next Friday I will be taking pictures and I can't wait to see my progress. I can feel my progress, but it will be great to SEE my progress. Jeff noticed this morning. He said 'Babe turn around, WOW you really have lost a lot of weight.' That made my day! I want to make him so proud. I want to look good for him and for me. I want to be a healthy and fit mom. I want to be able to go to the park and play with Micah and not feel like a fat cow. I don't think people look at me and think 'that girl is so fat' , but they also don't think 'wow she looks great'. I want to be one of those moms that has a great physique. I see them all the time and I think 'they look healthy and happy'. I'm happy, now I just need to work on the healthy part. hahaha.
I don't know how long it will take to get there, but everyday I am getting closer. Everyday I improve myself and get stronger. Life is about progression and self discipline. If I am not moving forward with that, then I am moving backwards. I hope that I can always move forwards with my progression. That goes for every aspect of my life.
