So, I haven't blogged about mine and Nathan's weight loss because...I just haven't. But we have been working out and watching what we eat (not on a crazy diet because it's not realistic long-term for us). I have been going to Zumba since after Thanksgiving and started Body Pump (weights) about two weeks ago. Ok, so I have lost 22 lbs since Thanksgiving. I have made exercise a priority and I am loving it!
Nathan's motivation: His dad had bypass surgery this past September and his grandmother had a similar surgery years ago. He knew that if he didn't do something now then there might be issues in the future. Well, he has done great and lost 16 lbs since the end of January (yeah, gross I know).
Ok, so this past Saturday we went to work out and that is when we weigh for the week. I was a little nervous because I hadn't eaten very well. I hadn't exceeded my calorie intake but I hadn't made healthy choices. I had done my 4 Zumba classes and 2 Body Pump classes but I was still a little nervous. I weighed in and I had lost 1 lb. Whew! It's a loss and I will take it! ..especially when I thought I had gained.
So I meet up with Nate to get the boys from childcare and head home. I said, "Well, I lost a pound. Atleast I didn't gain." He looked at me with a slight grin and said, "Three and a half." Let me just say that he had worked out a couple times and he hadn't made healthy eating choices either so I thought he had GAINED three and a half pounds. Oh, and he had just weighed on Tuesday. No, he LOST three and a half pounds in FOUR DAYS!!! Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am happy for him but geez!
I have met my first goal of pre-Brandon weight so I am not going to worry about comparing myself to him. I am just going to keep trying to reach the goals I have set. Besides, he is a man and it's just unfair how fast they can lose weight!

I can totally relate Meg! Matt can just think about dropping weight and it falls off him. Ughhhhh!!! Losing weight is not easy (at least for me it's not) and it takes lots of work and discipline.
I am SO proud of you for keeping up with your classes and eating well. Don't you just love classes. I do two a week and I LOVE them. I did cardio kickboxing on Sat and it was great! I feel like the instructor pushes me harder than I would push myself if I was alone.
I'm SO thankful I've been able to keep up my workouts this pregnancy go around. I know it will help the pounds come off after the baby. It's hard work but SOOOO worth the pay off!
Keep it up girl! I'm so proud of you!!! =)
