Mamavation Monday and The 2 Week Challenge That Might Kill Me

Today is the dawning of a new era. In which lion and hyena come together... or well... yeah. Anyways, really it is a new beginning. A healthy beginning for me. I start the Mamavation 2 week challenge today. I'm excited and pumped up. So of course I have to give the starting info. 

 Starting weight: 134.2 lbs
Waist: 32.5 in
Hips: 38 in
Thighs: both 22 in

 My eventual goal weight is 125. It doesn't have to be by the end of the 2 week challenge, although that would be nice. Just eventually. My biggest goal is being healthy. 

 So. Here comes the before pictures. WARNING! ROUGH PICTURES AHEAD!




Notice the baby lag, as I like to call it? That fun pooch that sticks around after your skin stretches from the pregnancy. Woo hoo. 

So today it starts. 

 I'm also currently pledging to be in the Mamavation Sistahood. I am so excited and honored to get this opportunity. I want to be able to encourage other moms like me who want to be healthy, gain some new friends. and just be all around awesome together!  Let's rock this Sistas! 

 I had my baby on April 27th 2012, I was 160 when I gave birth, got down to 139 and rocked it out there for a little while, and then finally got down to my starting weight I'm currently at. 

 P.S. Sorry for the Lion King reference up there. It just came to me.

    I have the same thing, from having three kiddos. From what I heard, it's the hardest to get rid of. You're going to do great, and good luck on the challenge!!

    Hi! I used to be in the Sistahood and had some family trouble so I left for awhile. I'm back and it's changed so much that it's all completely new to me now too! I know that everyone in the group in very supportive and will be there for you whenever you need encouragement!!

    I can sympathize with the baby lag, as most of us moms can, so no need to feel badly about it. You are loved!
