Weight a minute.....

I loaded up on Oprah the last week before I went back to work. She showcased two books on two different shows. After watching, I really want to read both of them. I have never been a bandwagon reader but these really caught my eye. Women Food and God and Eat Pray Love are the two books I want to read. I want to read Women food and God first...I think I go pick it up at Books A Million tomorrow. (I know the library here in town probably won't have it available for several more months). My mom just got Eat Pray Love from my sister...I hope to borrow it after Mom reads it. After having the baby, I am struggling with the weight that I gained being pregnant. I have lost about half of what I gained. My body image has not been the greatest. And the worst part is I know there are many factors that are going to affect my weight loss. I have a case of the "lack ofs"...lack of sleep, lack of time to exercise, and lack of willpower to step away from the double stuffs. Also I enjoy eating....I enjoy eating good food. And very often that good food is not reallly good for me. Adding to the poor body image...I was the smallest I had ever been in my adult life before I got pregnant again. I was very dedicated to eating right and was running atleast 5 times a week. I was training for a half marathon at the time and was getting in great shape. With that in the back of my mind, I feel hopeless because I do not have the time to commit to that type of regimen. Plus I'm still nursing so I can' t go too crazy with my diet. I am going to have to get creative with my exercise plan. Maybe I can sneak in some walking time during lunch. Doing workout videos in the living room is not really feasible so that is kind of out.

I'm hoping I can gain some insight that will jump start me into motion. And to those who are closest to me (at the dinner table) I'll need your help and support!!
