Pounds, I mean.
My peak weight while pregnant with JC was 195 lbs. Yikes. Although this is a period of recovery and not weight loss, it's still in the back of my mind. Correction- the forefront of my mind. Truth be told, I've actually become a little preoccupied with the numbers on the scale.
Probably because the whole 195 thing was pretty shocking. My goal weight is 140, which would put me at a size 6 or 8, which is where I feel pretty comfortable. I'm already about halfway there, but let's face it- when you give birth to an 8 lb baby, it's pretty easy for 27 pounds to melt off.
So as of the end of October, my quest to return to my pre-pregnancy weight (as in, pre-LB) will begin.
Speaking of pregnancy, I just watched an episode of I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant. Seriously?? Can you imagine me not knowing I was preggo? With the weight gain and gigantic belly? Ha! Apparently, these women didn't gain weight or have big bellies (and I'm assuming no stretch marks either).... They can all suck it. :P

You know I think you're perfect no matter what weight you are but I know extra LB's are frustrating to any girl...so, I thought I'd pass this along
It's a really good recipe and it tastes amazing! I just made it! it's leek soup. Take a couple of leeks, wash, cut, & boil...and then drink it. It's more of a broth but it's quite filling since it's mostly liquid with bits of chopped up leek. I add scallions to mine for more flavor - and sea salt & pepper. Leeks are a natural diuretic and have about zero calories. So, it's a good low cal meal that actually helps lose those pesky pounds :)
Mmmm, sounds good! I'll have to try that. I'm actually looking forward to getting my a$$ off the couch- it's also frustrating to not be allowed to do anything physical.
