I've owned this skirt forever and have yet to wear it until today. It's bright and a wee bit tight. Should I keep it or chuck it?

Kicking up the style game

I've got the blues #5

I'm testing out this new feature on flickr that allows you to configure your blog to your photo account. I really liked the way that this outfit came together, especially considering how much my husband hates this dress. Even he had to admit that I styled dope! haha!

I'm still here!

I've got to get better with posting pictures! Good news: I am actually smaller now than before I became pregnant! I'm down to about 135-138lbs. which is awesome considering baby girl is now 10 months. Now, I have to focus on eating right and revamping my sexy mama wardrobe.

I seemed to have leveled out, weight-wise. Our scale is kinda wonky but I feel like I'm around 150lbs, which isn't bad considering I was around 140lbs before I became pregnant. I'm still bellydancing and have been consistently using a bellydance DVD on the nights I'm not in class. Not bad for 6 months pp :)

Quick Update

I just wanted to post another picture since I haven't updated here in a while. Even though the scale hasn't changed much, I feel different, which is great! In addition, I've started back to work this week so I'm sure the increased activity will help too!

Workin' It Out

Just a quick check in... I've been consistent about working out. On the days that I haven't gone to my local Y, I've shimmied and shaked with my bellydance DVDs. All in all, I'm feeling the progress. Picture to come soon :)

Accountability

I'm officially 2 months postpartum today. I have about 20lbs. to lose before I'm back to my pre-pregnancy weight. My measurements are: bust--38.5 inches
waist--34 inches
hips--42 inches
thighs (l&r)--23.5 inches

Thus far, my workouts include: 60 min. bellydance class once a week and 30 min. cardio (treadmill, stationary bike, or cross trainer) 2-3 times a week. I haven't adjusted my food intake yet because I'm nursing exclusively.

My ideal goal/weight is a toned 130-135lbs. (I'm 5'3"). Even if I don't get there, I'd be happy to reach my pre-pregnancy weight (145lbs.)

Since I'm prone to laziness, the attached picture of my jigglicious booty is all I need to remind me to get movin' and losin'!!
