My Goal

I lost my pregnancy weight 3 months ago...usually it's 9 months on and 9 months off, but I was sick and lost 10 lb's my first 5 months of pregnancy then I put on 30 lb's super fast (there was one 2 week period where I gained 18 lb's) so I ended up positive 20 lb's.  I wish I could say I was disciplined and worked hard to lose the weight but I didn't do anything besides give birth and breast feed (well sort of). 
My problem is; although I am OK with what I see on the scale I am not so happy with what I see in the mirror.  None of my clothes fit right and I don't want to buy new until my body stops changing.  Parts of me are bigger and other parts are smaller.  I have been working (semi regularly) on turning my belly back into abs.  I was pretty happy with my progress before I left China but living in a hotel and eating out every meal made me look 5 months preggo again. 
I have been using Jillian's (from the biggest loser) work out videos plus some of my favorite cardio workouts.  Jillian really kicks my butt!
My goal is to be less lumpy by November...so that I can look and feel great for a couple weeks before Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas cookies undo it all again.  I am not a dieter, I enjoy food and now that I have my Hellmans real Mayonnaise back I am not willing to give it up.

And because I love taking pictures of my little guy...here are some pictures of what Zachary does while I work out...
He finds it fustrating that he can't pick up my hand weights.

hmmm...how does this open!
