[Mariah & me]

from people.com

Mariah and I were pregnant with b/g twins together.  She delivered a little over a month after me in late April (April 30th I believe).  She lost SEVENTY pounds.  Wanna know how much I've lost?  Zero.  Zilch.  In fact, I've put on weight.  I gained 25lbs with my pregnancy and immediately lost that once the babies, placentas, fluid, etc were delivered.  While they were in the NICU, I lost even more.  Eating wasn't a priority when my sweeties were fighting to breathe and gain weight.  It didn't help that I was dealing with some of the worst baby blues many of my dr's nurses had ever seen.  

After their birth I ate.  And ate.  And ATE.  I don't know when, but at some point it got out of control.  Here we are 7 months later and probably (at least?) 20lbs above my pre-pregnancy weight.  Well Mariah, you've inspired me to get back on the proverbial bicycle.  If you can be 40+ and look that good after a difficult twin pregnancy, surely my 28 year old self can...right?  RIGHT!

I feel yucky, unhealthy, gross.  Its time for a change.  My plan is to document it here.  Wish me luck!!!
