getting in shape and feeling beautiful...easier said than done!!

so im on a weight loss conquest and ive made it pretty far :) ive lost a total of 30 lbs!! thats amazing, but im still not happy. ive kind of hit a plateau :( im not happy with the way my body looks and ive lost weight every where but not exactly where i want to lol. the perils of being a mommy who gained way too much weight during pregnancy....talk about being fat lol. anyways im not giving up :) im determined to do this...

i need to tone up tho thats for sure...even my husband said to, oh well hes right, so i took no offense. my husband loves to work out, but hes a gym fanatic and i really dont like the gym scene..its intimidating and i dont like being watched lol. but i have someone to get advice from.  weight lifting intimidates me..alot, only because i dont know proper form, and again i dont like being watched lol. guess i should invest in dvds lol ;)

the 30 lbs that i have lost, i lost from walking and not eating much. i love my reebok easytones lol..so much that i need another pair :D i wish my knee wasnt jacked up cuz i love to run and now i cant. i was wanting to train for a 5k with a friend...no one will do it lol..not to actually run a race or marathon but just to be able to do it. i use to be in such great shape, that was like almost 10 years ago..im getting there slowly. and when i do get pregnant ( again :D ) it will be a healthy one.  im so excited about losing weight and being healthy and having a healthy pregnancy. 

one thing that kinda depresses me is the way my body will look after losing weight...yes we all know what happens to stretch marks :( they look worse. ill be happy and unhappy..thank goodness for tummy tucks tho :) im sure one day i will feel as beautiful as my husband tells me i am; i just dont feel it now :( he constantly tells me im beautiful and calls me his sexy wife or his sexy bunny. the other day he told me i was gorgeous and the most beautiful woman in the world to him...i find it hard to believe. its nice to hear tho :) one thing that i do like about my husband is that he isnt typical...he isnt into the skinny blonde hair blue eyed girls that most men are..he likes average sized brown eyed brunettes!! it makes me pretty happy lol. he loves my curves which is why im trying to keep them...its hard to keep a booty big and round lol.  funny to say but i love my big butt...its the Puerto Rican in me..it just needs to be toned and firmed ;) i dont want a flat secretary ass..i use to think i wanted a sit down office job so i could dress up and look pretty, which is like the last job i had....i dont want that! that would reek havoc on my booty ha ha

so i guess its find a active job of some sort so im not on my ass, and get some awesome work out dvds and equipment :) i have my pilates dvd and my carmen electra aerobic striptease box set and my resistance bands, so i have a lil bit of a start. i need my stability ball and my ablounge..which my ex has and im not sure he will give it back...oh well i can always get new ones :)

needless to say...there are perks to being a fitness nuts wife, so i believe is should take advantage of atleast that.
