Yep, this is my official post-baby weight loss post. I tried for at least 20 minutes to find a photo of myself to use as my 'goal', but apparently I do not take photos of myself. It's just as well. Here's the best I found:
Little Baby Sunbean and I getting a pedicure.
This time around, I have an incentive program, a la 'The Biggest Loser'. Well, unless you're from this silly town...they have a contest called 'The Smallest Winner'. It just doesn't have the same ring to it. But then again, naming things isn't our forte. After all, our minor-league baseball team is the TinCaps, and we tried to name a building the Harry Baals Building. Honestly.
Anyway, MacGyver found out that our insurance company offers a pretty suh-weet incentive program to lose weight. Since I gain an exorbitant amount of weight while pregnant, I actually meet the requirements of the program.
Here's the skinny (pun intended). If I lose 10% of my body weight, I will get $500. Yep, $500. Then, if I keep it off for a year, I'll get an additional $1,000. That's $1,500 for being healthy. Um, yes please.
So at my 6-week checkup, I had my doc fax in the form, and I got enrolled. She actually wants to see me again next month, so my goal is to have lost the 10% by then. The insurance company doesn't impose any time limits on losing the 10%, but I'm going back to the doctor anyway, so it would just be easier if I could have her fill out the paper while I'm already there.
So how awesome is this? Not only am I going to be getting back to my old self, but I'm getting paid to do it! Hello, new wardrobe!
