We've all had our journeys and mine began in the year 2000 when I started taking Depo-Provera (Birth Control Injection). I immediately gained 30lbs in 1 month and delevoped horrible side effects from it. This results in sadness and me not having a care in the world in regards to fitness or my health. I ballooned up to 180-185lbs. There aren't many pictures from this time because I hated the way I looked and felt about my body. I've always been the skinny thin girl so this was a huge change for me.
Here's a quick explanation of how my ups and downs were so you can understand ESPECIALLY the other women knowing how BC effects our hormones so you could imagine where my mind was plus I was out partying alot and drinking and doing all that other fun stuff you can imagine so that didn't help with my physique at all.
2000-180-185lbs
2002-Lost all the weight and went down to a healthy 130lbs
2003-Maintained my weight and worked out and started researching about eating clean
May 1st, 2005-Competed in my first Figure Comp at 119lbs came in 8th! was ok with the results but you will find out below why my body didn't reach it's full potential during my prep
A few weeks after comp-Found out I was 4 months pregnant with my first daughter and had no idea while prepping for comp. I thought the spotting from my period was all part of the "prep" and dieting. I was put on bedrest because of oxygen problems with my baby girl and she was not growing at a consistent rate and developed thyroid disease the worst and gained 80lbs.
November 9th, 2005- Gave birth to the most amazing little girl Jada! 6lbs 3oz HEALTHY, beautiful and full term.
November 9th, 2005- 195lbs
January 1, 2006- 190lbs still feeling horrible, exhausted, sadness from my thyroid!
January 1, 2006- Began training EVERY morning and eating as clean as possible.
January 2007- Lost all the baby weight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Years in Between-Continued learning everything I could and maintained but had no desire to compete again.
2009- Miscarriage :( was very sad to lost my baby at 3 months pregnant, 13 weeks to be exact her name was going to be Giana Rose but continued my journey and refused to let it bring me down.
June 24th, 2009-Gave birth to my 2nd healthy and beautiful baby girl Chloe! 5lbs 11oz full term.
July 2009- all weight gone! Gained 22lbs this pregnancy and was very smart at eating healthy.
Now this brings me to where I am today, 2011. 11 weeks out and VERY consistent with my life and everyone and everything that is a part of it. I feel blessed to be able to share my journey with anyone who wants to listen and just hoping I can reach out to another mom who feels like she can never get there.
With enough passion YOU CAN!!!
Maddy
Fun Fit Mom :)
