Twins are here, now it's time to get healthy!

Well, the twins are here and healthy as ever! On November 28th I had a scheduled c-section. Riann Olivia was born first, at 8:13 am, weighing 6.05 pounds and 19.69 inches long. Reese John Wyatt was born at 8:14 am, weighing 5.85 pounds and 18.9 inches long. They are small, well, big for twins, but healthy as can be and very good eaters. Sleeping is a toss up; sometimes they sleep really well, and sometimes they don't want to at all. I sure am happy they are here, finally and I'm not the size of a house anymore! Makenna is adjusting well to being a big sister, though she generally just ignores their existence  I just think, at this point, they are to boring for her because she is always on the go.


Since delivering twins, I've lost 24 pounds already. I feel pretty proud of myself for only gaining 36 pounds during this pregnancy and delivered, at 38 weeks gestation (making my weight 192 pounds), fairly good sized and healthy babies. Last December I weighed about 135-140 pounds (I'm 5'8'' tall), but when my husband returned from Afghanistan, I gained a little weight from eating out and not working out as much, making my pre-pregnancy weight 154 pounds. My goal is to get to as close to my December 2011 weight as possible. I was comfortable and happy with my body at that point, which has never happened, so that's where I want to be again. My current weight is 168 pounds (as of December 1, 2012).

As of right now, doing too much physical activity isn't going to happen because I am still healing from the c-section. But I can slowly begin to do more and more each day, and eat healthy to begin to lose what I want to lose.
