Ok. You have all been there. Losing the weight, right? We tell ourselves, “if I could just lose 10 pounds, I would be happy.” Don’t lie, you have all said it at one point in your brain. Maybe it was after baby, or five babies, or a long vacation to Europe (I would be totally jeal!) But you have said it. I know you have.
Well I admit, I have been saying it for the past year. I have been blaming the 10 pounds on baby fat, nursing, being prego, being prego again, and well I am just sick of all my great (or not so great) habits that have been forming. I have decided that it isn’t that important. The 10 pounds I mean. I am over it. It isnt’ the 10 pounds I don’t like, it is the girth of my abdomen that I am mostly concerned about. (wow am I really putting this on my blog?... well I did have a fitness blog for a time, so I spose its no secret). SO I have decided to DO something about it.
I am starting some new habits. Want to hear? Hopefully cuz I am about to tell you.
1. Eat every three hours
2. Eat a protein and carb EVERY meal/ snack
3. Drink lots of water
4. No such thing as a “cheat” day, only “cheat” meals (this one is NOT my own, but I will roll with it)
I am not going to lie. I KNOW these things. I just don’t do them. I much prefer to eat what I want when I want and not worry too much about it. Hence my predicament J.
So here is to me. Trying NOT to lose weight but inches by eating better, weight training, and running.
Good luck to me!

So many good points in this post! I hope to join you :) Thank you for sharing.
I'll do it too. I'm trying to lose inches around my abdomen as well. That list is going to be HARD! Does a chocolate chip protein bar count as a protein?
I ran five miles for the first time today. I'm exhausted and I kinda ruined it by eating taco bell for lunch. But I am slowly (SLOWLY!!) losing weight and the tummy is getting flatter. Hopefully I'll be a hot mama before baby #2 rolls around and makes me chubba-lubba again.
I am not sure that a chocolate chip protein bar counts... sorry :) but it sure is good! I have had them before.
i am so with you. i just wish my pants would fit without THE bulge. that is my goal. the only problem is i'm home bound with a 2 year old until the end of the summer. so, looks like calorie counting for me. yuck.
Hey--it's Danielle, Nick's sister. I totally hear ya'. This darn stomach junk is driving me crazy. I do pilates which totally helps, but if I miss a few days, I take 10 steps backwards. Then I'm frustrated, then I eat. I have got to get rid of it. Here's to a flat stomach.
Hey I'm right there with you...the last 10 pounds that I've been trying to lose 1 1/2 years now!!
