Wonderful Surprise

Some of you may hate me after this post but I am so excited, so I have to blog about it. Anyway, before I found out I was pregnant with Elizabeth I had decided to go on a diet because I had been gaining weight and was the highest weight I have ever been which was 140lbs. Most of it was put on because I was not exercising like I should and was going through a period in my life where every weekend I would go out with John and some friends and we would drink a lot of beer.

Anyway, as soon as I found out I was pregnant my diet got put on hold and I gained even more weight...40 lbs to be exact, so when I went into the hospital to give birth to Elizabeth I weighed a scary amount of 180 lbs. I was so upset when I left the hospital only 7 lbs 3 oz lighter, I thought to myself that I would never be able to get back to my previous weight of 140 lbs.
I had set a goal to get back to my previous weight of 140lbs and once I reached that, I decided to try to loose 5 more pounds witch would make me weight 135lbs. It took forever to get to that weight and I figured I would stay that weight until I stopped breastfeeding and then it would go back up to 140. Well I was amazingly surprised when I stepped on the scale last night and saw a number that I never thought I would possibly see again....I now weigh 128 pounds!!! I am so excited!! I have been watching what I eat and exercising more and it has paid off big time. Now let's just hope that it stays the same after I stop breastfeeding in a few months :)
