Yes I dropped lower then I was before by a whole inch. So I went up .25in then dropped 1.25in

Omg. I am at my grandmas house and i got ready to go running, and its raining. What! Is was nice all morning. Oh well. I have too much to do today. Im going to head home soon and do insanity or something. I wont be able to go running on friday either because.we are going zoo. Ill probably do 30 of some cardio to supplement. Id rather actually run so i keep my stamina up, but i figure when i cant go, another type of cardio is better than nothing

Okay butt in gear finally! Restarting 30 day shred today. Please harass me endlessly if I give up again!

DS is walking so he can play around me while I do the shred, so no more excuses!

I'm a little dissapointed that I was really good about what I ate and how much I exercised all week, but the bloat got me in the end and I gained .8 lbs and only lost .25 inches. I think AF is actually coming back for good (DS is a year old, we had a good non-fertile run lol) and is wreaking havoc on my body. Hopefully things settle in soon. I did the 30 day shred again today, and I am going to stick to the diet. I can do this!

I know it is hard by try to not be disappointed. This is not an easy task at all and every little bit of a healthier lifestyle helps. It just takes time to see results.

You can do this!

I appreciate the support! It is hard. Im not just dieting this time, and post baby it is a million times harder to lose the weight. I just keep reminding myself I want to set a great example for my son. He has played at my feet while I worked out at home the last few days and that has been a huge motivator.

I managed to be diligent with the 30 day shred until Wednesday when I injured a tendon in my ankle. I am limping around in pain really irritated that I can't work out I think I need to cut some of the calories I am estimating for breastfeeding on myfitnesspal, I think DS is starting to wean himself a bit!

I hope you start feeling better. Injuries stink!
