I have finally conquered a major milestone, breaking the 150lb benchmark that has been a constant for me since I gave birth. Last month I told you how I was assessed at 31% body fat, you can read that post here. Well I did it! 11 lbs later, 11 total inches lost and I’m down to 141lbs and 26% body fat.
It hasn’t been an easy month. I’ve dealt with ear infections and colds, really stressful work days and even more stressful house hunting. I had days when all I wanted to do was order a pizza, sit in bed and watch shows. But I didn’t and I’m so glad that I didn’t.
Week three for me was the hardest, but since then I’ve found my groove, and this new way of eating and working out has become a habit. I still don’t eat many carbs, and I’ve cut out gluten entirely. I don’t eat any dairy except for the occasional non-fat greek yogurt. I cut out sugar and increased my protein and water intake. And you know what?? I feel amazing. I don’t feel bloated anymore, I feel leaner and full of energy. So its working, this new way of life. I still have a ways to go. My goal weight is 130lbs, the weight I was at when I got married. So I’ve got that to strive for. But for now I’m taking it day by day, and thanks to my amazing supportive husband and my friend and personal trainer Briana founder of Bikini Body Mommy, I am sure I will succeed.
Wow! Congrats! That’s amazing!
I’ve made a lot of changes in the new year, but haven’t seen much change in my body yet. This post was inspirational for me! I’m hoping I can make those more difficult changes to start reaping the physical rewards, too.
Good work!
Yay!!! You go girl!! So proud of you!
So proud of you, Ana!
Alright…these photos and this post convinced me to try this. I’ve got 15lbs to lose. I’m 5’1″, so that’s alot for my frame. I’m 137 right now.
Ana you look amazing!! That is a ton for 1 month!! Total inspiration!! Also so excited to hear about your house! We are moving around the same time! I was so bummed Las Vegas doesn’t have an IKEA!
Good for you Ana!
What time of day do you work out?
you look fabulous! i’m currently getting my booty in gear too after having my 2nd baby 2.5 months ago and i’ve also cut out most dairy and i think its been the best decision. i feel so much better and i’ve read there are so many emotional/mood advantages for cutting down as well. its been hard squeezing in time for workouts with 2 kids but overall its worth it for both me and them, i think. anyway- go you:) you don’t even look like you need to lose any weight!
Massive congratulations to you!
Keep it up!
A supportive husband is the best gift around!
