Bellydancing Momma with too much belly!

SUMMER 2013 GOALS:

On 5/30/13 I slipped back into my pre-pregnancy jeans, which was a very important goal of mine. But it's not over yet!

My goals for the summer are to to lose a little more fat -- probably another 10-15 pounds (?) for a target of about 140.
Or at least to get back to my measurements from before:
Waist = 28.5 / Hip = 38

SHORT-TERM GOALS:

Or at least to get back to my measurements from before:
Waist = 28.5 / Hip = 38

SHORT-TERM GOALS:
- I am studying for my ACE Group Fitness Instructor test which I absolutely HAVE to take this year.
- Start serious weight training.

MEDIUM-TERM GOALS:
- When I was a ballet dancer, My average weight was 105-115 and of course I thought I was fat. I'm not sure if it's do-able or feasible at my age now, but I'm looking at 125-115 as possibly being a new target weight, once I get to 140. If I got down to ballet weight again, I wouldn't mind doing another Nutcracker. Maybe.

MY HISTORY:
Back in 2007 I lost 25 pounds on Spark, and I kept it off until I got pregnant, had my adorable son, and just sat around on the coach eating and playing with him.

Pre-baby measurements:

June 6, 2007:
Waist = 34.5 / Hip = 41

Jan. 7 , 2009:
Waist = 28.5 / Hip = 38

PRESENTS TO MYSELF:
at 155 - Joined SparkCoach! And "new" old jeans :) (DONE 5/31)

at 150 - New running/workout shoes
at 145 - WDNY video of choice (Pinup pack?)
at 140 - Get bellybutton repierced

at 130 - New dance pants or workout clothes

Hey Girl - great to hear from you... I am doing so much better thank you for asking.

Had surgery in Feb. this year, Surgeon removed 3 of my discs L3,4 & 5 - put in new synthetic discs and 2 six inch titanium rods. Had me up walking the next morning. As of this week - I am walking 4 miles a day and hubby and I did a 5K this morning. We walked of course - I am not allowed to have any impact until after November but I can walk LOL

We are still living in CA - buying a house and Hubby will retire from the Marine Corps in a couple years - be nice to have him all to myself instead of sharing him with the Government.

How are you?? I see your still dancing with you belly LOL After the past couple years of being bed ridden - since 2010 I have a lot of weight to lose so I am getting back on track with Spark People. Need to change my profile info. When the spinal injections quit working I was in too much pain to do anything - even post on SP.

You look great - as always!!

I will have more time to chat later this week but I did want to say hello and thanks for stopping by - now that I am back on board I will keep contact again.

Take care of yourself,

Your SP buddy always,
