Waiting Patiently
Ok, I’m half way through week 3 and well… nothing! When am I going to see something?!! I’ve been eating clean despite all the junk food that has been around me! (I am proud that I have been able to beat the temptations 
)
I know, I know… it’s only been 3 weeks. It’s been a little over a month since I stopped nursing, I’ve been diligent working out - 6 days a week, getting up at 5 am (there have been a couple days I didn’t but I still found time to workout). I just want to see something. Something small. I guess in my mind I’ve always imagined that after I stopped nursing the fat would melt away… I guess it’s just a pipe dream.
Well, I have 9 more weeks to go. Hopefully there will be more change there than in these past 3.
Gotta go make Valentine cookies for my boy’s classmates. Big whoop!
Ciao for now.

Honey…..hang in there…. your dedication WILL pay off…. focus on the things you can change and try not to put too much pressure on yourself. Avoiding those temptations are a major victory alone!!!
just try and be patient and wait on Him!!
And…fyi….when I say you at the gym today you looked different… maybe a bit leaner…..belly looks like it is reducing

Amen sister. We are faith people, so just keep doing what you are doing and declare some positive words over your body/health. Your eyes will meet your faith soon.
Good for you not eating crap. I ate clean yesterday. I felt good and then at 12:13am, my husband woke me up to drink some juice. In a trance, I gulped it down. huh? what de hell just happened there? that’s true sabotage (he is unaware though, he was just being kind) haha

Trust me when I say I know what you are going through…if you are anything at all like me, hang in there until the 45 day mark. When I stopped nursing my 5th baby and started exercising and it was a month into it and no changes, nothing–eating clean and all. I couldn’t understand it. Then it was like someone flipped a switch and my body finally figured out it didn’t need all the extra padding! In the next 2 weeks after that my body changed so much it was shocking! I was suddenly in a size 6! Hadn’t been a size 6 since middle school!(and unfortunately not since then now either
) At any rate, all I am trying to say is hang in there. It will happen, your body is just going through major changes and it has to do it in order and one at a time. As we often tell our kids "I can only do one thing at a time! I am not a robot!!!" Ok, I’m just gonna tell myself that other moms tell their kids that too! LOL Take care and keep up the great work…such dedication will be greatly rewarded! Take care.
