Weight at Home: 133.4
Weight at WW: 134.2
Weekly Loss: -.8
Total Loss: -27.0
I was happy with the loss. That is coming off playing catch up from vacation.
I have walked twice this week. We were going to try and walk 3 times but the wind and weather just wouldn't allow it. We walked 6.3 miles on Monday and 4.8 miles yesterday. E is starting to last longer in the stroller. I used to bring my Beco with me in case she started SCREAMING but now that she is big enough I give her toys, crackers, etc.
I am hoping I will see 132 on my home scale this week. I haven't seen 132 since before I was pregnant with kiddo #2! That was 2007/2008!!
Edit to add: I have my first follower!! woohoo! Shout out to my first follower! hehe

Vacation!
I didn't weigh in this week. We went on vacation to Santa Fe, NM. And well I wanted to eat...so I did! I haven't had sopapilla in probably 10 years. We have lots of Mexican food here but sopapillas are not just given to you as part of the meal. They were glorious!! I came back and I'd gained 2lbs...IT WAS SO WORTH IT! Haha. I would rather eat mostly what I want and enjoy vacation than be strict with my points. I lost most of it in a day because well my body can drop what it gained fairly easily with just a day or 2 of eating well.
I take my monthly pictures on Monday. I wish I could see more change like I used to but I'll keep working on that. I haven't eaten that well the last 2 nights. E has been really clingy and 90% of the time I have to eat with her. When she's sleeping or hubby has her I want to eat eat eat!
See you Monday!

I didn't weigh in this week
I didn't weigh in this week because Tuesday they shut down DFW because of the ice. I was at home with the kids and hubby said that it wasn't a good idea to drive. The normal roads were fine but the bridges were iced over. I was disappointed to not be able to weigh in but I can only do what I can do.
Baby E is sick along with hubby so it's been a long week. I started off last Tuesday at 141.0 on my scale. I weighed myself Tuesday morning and it was 137.0!! Woot! I was pretty excited. It will be a good weigh in on Tuesday if I keep this up. This morning I was 136.6. I love seeing the scale go down.
I only over ate on Sunday. I was kind of upset with myself but through out the week I stayed in my extra weekly allotted points. I think I had 13 left over from the 49. I found out today that my favorite chocolates are 7 points plus for 3! Ugh! I love them. I usually eat a couple a day. So yeah, boo.
I am in a weird place with points though. I am still nursing E (and plan to keep nursing her for another year) and with her being sick she hasn't eaten that much food. She has been nursing like a newborn so I think with me having 33 points (opposed to the 40 when you are exclusively nursing) it's probably helping my weight loss. She hasn't showed any signs of not getting enough milk so I am not worried.
I am trying to decide if I will do pictures/measurement on the 17th. I haven't done it in a few months, so I probably should since I am doing WW again. I guess we'll see!
Happy Thursday everyone!

Long time, no post
I have no idea if anyone actually reads this blog or not. I'll update/post anyways. :)
I feel off the Weight Watchers bandwagon after my last post. It was right around Thanksgiving. I had been sick and I was kind of tired of doing it after 7 months. At that point I had lost 27.4lbs. Yay me.
I stopped weighing in and it then I stopped tracking...so you get it. I slowly gained back 7.4lbs over the course of Thanksgiving, Christmas and the cold weather until now...early February. Excuses but whatever. I do better when I have accountability outside of my home.
I said to the hubby this morning "I need to get back to Weight Watchers." He unhesitatingly said "Yes, you do." I did a quick head turn and said "What?". I was expecting a "We don't have the money" or him ignoring me with a yeah okay sure. I was no expecting that. He said "Not because you have gained a lot of weight back, but because you just ate healthier when you were on it.
My original goal was to be 130 by the time E turned one. Which is February 23rd. That is not going to happen, but it's my own fault. I am not mad at myself and I am not stressed over it, but I am happier with my weight than I thought I would be if I didn't meet my personal goal.
I am ready for the weather to get warm again so I can walk again. I have kept fairly active. I walked 6.5 miles a few weeks ago. I am still breastfeeding but E also eats food so I get 33 points this time instead of 40.
I am nervous and excited about starting again but I am also dreading it. I know what it takes and I know it's hard but I really don't want to gain all that weight back. I don't want to pull out my old jeans because I was lazy. That is unacceptable to me. So here my journey begins again.
STARTING WEIGHT: 141.2
5% Weight: 134.1
GOAL WEIGHT: 130

Plateau
I have hit a plateau. No doubt about it. But I think part of it is that I haven't followed the points very well the last month. My emotions have been all over the place and I am an admitted emotional eater. Between soccer and all kinds of life stuff I have not been great about sticking to the points.
I did lose this week though:
Weight Watchers Weight: 135.0
Weekly Loss: -.6
Total Loss: -26.2
I am 5lbs away from my goal. I want to hit that by February. At this point I don't know if that will happen. I know that is 3 months, but I need to buckle down and follow the plan. I will say it's been hard to know if the points are right for me. Since E is still nursing 95% of the time but some days she eats more solids I don't know if the 40 is too much. I have been playing around with the points so right now I am trying 36 per day. I am hoping this helps.
I changed my weigh in day to Wednesday. I don't really like the ladies that work Wednesday mornings at the meeting I go to but I don't have a choice right now since they don't open until 11 on Tuesday. One lady chastised me for not having my monthly pass card (which I've never used ever) because I need it for when the computers are down. Okay, yes, one more thing I need to carry that I never use. Plus it's all old ladies and they are either nice or mean.
Today is my monthly picture and measuring. I did not take a picture because there was no point. I haven't lost any significant weight or inches.

Weight: 136.0 (-.2)
Waist: 36 (same)
Hips: 37 (-.5)
Bust: 39 (same)
Arms: 10.25 (.-25)
What annoys me is my scale at home. I know that the weight watchers weight is most accurate because it has the same variables each week but still. According to Weight Watchers weight I was 137.6 on 10/15 and this week I was 135. So that is -2.6. Obviously that is different than my home weight loss of .2!
I did cut down on Diet Coke again. I only drink Diet Coke, Water, and the occasional Dr. Pepper or Unsweet tea. I wish there was more I could drink that had no calories.

In the beginning
There are a million blogs out there where people are documenting their weight loss. I am just one in a sea of blogs but that is okay because this my journey. This is my record. I haven't had a blog, and open blog, in a couple of years. Even if no one ever reads this it will still be my words and my experience.
A little about me. I am 31 year old from Oklahoma but have resided in Texas for 10 years. I am a wife to a crazy/super cool husband & mother to 3 beautiful children. I am a stay at home mom, recovering alcoholic (sober 3 years), and creator of crafts. My kiddos: G is 6 and in the 1st grade, C is 4 and in preschool, and E is 7 weeks old. E is part of the reason I am loosing weight. After G, I lost all by 10lbs of my baby weight. After C, I lost all of the baby weight but still had the 10lbs from G. Currently I am 159 lbs. I gained 34lbs with E. I was up to 179. My goal weight is 130. It is where I am comfortable. I haven't been 130 since about 2007.
What am I doing to loose weight? I am a runner but it's not possible for me to run right now. So I walk. I bought a fitbit and it's a great motivator. I am starting Weight Watchers on Tuesday. I would rather change my food ways than working out a lot. I have always done well on Weight Watchers so I am excited to start. Plus I like the meetings even though I don't say anything. It reminds me a lot of AA meetings. The reason I chose this name for my blog is because right now I don't have much love for my body. I feel gross. My clothes don't fit very well and I refuse to buy new clothes. The AA meeting on Tuesday was about Love and Tolerance of myself. I want to love my body even if I am not at my goal weight yet. I really do not like this picture of myself and I have never put a picture like this of myself on the internet. But here goes. Here is the before picture:
