baby weight be gone...

hi all,

hope all is well. thought i would introduce myself and say hi... my name is simone, my husband is matt, was in the challange last time. just had baby no 2 in january. scarlett is awesome as is her big bro wes, however my belly now looks like a failed souffle (you can imagine the accent over the "e", right, no idea how to do this)! both children made themselves quite cozy in said belly each adding about 70 lbs to me. shed all but 5 or 10 before pregnancy with scarlett, it was easier with 1 -less guilt about taking time for yourself (excuses, excuses), but i am coming back! so far i am down by 45 and hoping 25 lbs will spontaniously drop off during the summer months. i am trying to exercise at least 2x a week at the gym and walking as much as i can around town to burn it up. i am also on the south beach diet phase 2 as i am still nursing scarlett. tried phase 1 and thought i was going to die, i felt so awful, had to stop. so far the south beach frozen dinners have been my god send. eating the same food as my 2 1/2 year old was not doing much for me. it is too easy to pop a breakfast burrito in the oven and inhale it as i walk out the door, unless wes tries to eat it before i get there. really had a good cheat the other day, burger from rouge in philly. mmmmmmmm. right now i live for squares of dark chocolate and diet coke. unfortunately, i am a little too into the diet coke...

ps- this is my blogging debut. was a blog virgin before this post. woo hoo!

go south beach!! Phase 1 was tough, but I beat the fatigue by adding extra beans to my diet-

got to get back to phase 1, but need to be through with nursing, otherwise i just get sucked dry of any nutrients that could make it into my body. she is almost 6 months, i am not nursing as much, it will get better soon, she is growing up so fast...
