BLC

No not BLT, although that's probably what i will be eating for the next decade now that i have started the BLC (Biggest Loser Challenge). The Physical Therapy department at HSU started the BLC last year when i was pregnant with Jax.  Unfortunately i could not participate. BOO! I would have helped my team in the end.  After I had Jax I suddenly lost 50 pounds...nobody could compete with that.  I like a little competition and I would have kicked some booty.  What, it doesn't matter that I was a whale and had a baby whale...that's not cheating!  Ha! Well, they are doing it again this year. Too bad I can't carry over from last year :(.  In case you have fogotten how big I was, here is a little reminder...

 Ok, you can pick your jaw off the floor if you like!

 I thought this pose would help make me look thinner, nope I forgot to use the dumbbells during my 9 months of pregnancy.

Oh, and this one...this will be the only shot of my tummy that you will see.  And this is why i write in my blog today.  Today we had to do fitness testing for our BLC so we can see results in the end.  I came in my athletic shorts acting like i was a college athlete or something.  We did push-ups (i did real one's...what do you think about that ;)) well after that everything went down hill.  The worst was the measuring part.  Luckily i didn't have my shirt that you have to have your husband help you put on that sucks all your fat in under your real clothes.  I usually don't wear one, but sometimes i do!  Mkay, maybe i do wear one everyday. Anyway, i had to lift my shirt.  See, since i have had babies NOBODY sees me in limited clothing.  I haven't worn a bathing suit since our honeymoon, i mean, i wear a mother suit...that's cool!  Something about that gaining 80+ pounds when i was pregnant with both kids took a shot on my figure. Look at that tummy, i stuck out so bad!  I was mortified when they said raise your shirt.  Like, crying in my head cause I was SO embarrassed! Luckily, girls were doing the measuring but bless their hearts, they were probably damaged for life.  Nightmares tonight for them!!!

Why am I doing this challenge you ask?  Well, maybe it might be the next best thing to a tummy tuck.  Nah, i really don't care about that, ok just a little, but I want to be healthy again.  I am back to my pre-pregnancy weight but losing weight is not what i want.  I want to be fit, i want to NOT be tired all the time, I want to continue working out with our Cowgirls.  When J'Lee asks to play one-on-one, she is going to know who dominates...lol...i kid, i kid..but seriously, I want to be healthy and not worry all the time about my weight.  I want working out to be part of my daily routine.  I want to eat healthy!  I unfortunatley wasn't blessed with the "have a baby, look even hotter afterwards" genes.  Ahem, my sister-n-law! Whatever! I will be assigned a personal trainer/physical therapist and their grade depends on me!  Oh and you have to pay a dollar for every pound you gain.  I love my trainer...i coached her here at HSU.  She is wonderful and look forward to working with her.

I look forward to this year!  I hope to have a healthier lifestyle so that I can keep up with the craziness in my life.  So I won't go and share this on facebook because who wants to see me like this...um, yeah, not comfortable with that, but I am working on being more real on this blog.  Not that I am not real, but maybe you can start reading the messiness of our lives.

PS:  These pictures were taken my the AMAZING, Shara Johnson!  She did great on these pictures and I really need to share more that she took on this day.  I just have to find that CD!  She is a wonderful photographer and a beautiful friend!
