Stuck & a Jogging stroller

I've been stuck in the 151's on my scale at home for a week! I am annoyed. I even ate fantastic yesterday. I got m y new jogging stroller yesterday & already had plans of walk/jogging today. So I walk/jogged 4.63 miles!! yay! I felt decent overall. The second mile was the hardest. I added a short block because I still felt good at the end. I'll add I am currently high on endorphins. hehe.

E did great in the stroller. She fell asleep the last mile or so. It has shocks so it rides smoother. The handle is bouncy because of the shocks but I'll get use to it. :)

I started Weight Watchers one month ago today. My weight loss with them is 8.8lbs! :) I need to be proud of myself even if my jeans still give me a muffin top.

Weigh in #4

I weighed in at 152.4. This week was -.6 like I did 2 weeks ago. Total weight lose is 8.8 lbs. I am not unhappy about this but I am not happy. I just need to find a medium. I am still losing and that is what I think is important. Plus I can't lose too much per week while I am exclusively nursing.

This week

I have eaten decent this week. I don't eat really eat that much fast food, I think I ate Chick Fil A twice. But not bad stuff. Anyways, I was a bit well...TMI...constipated. I ate a ton of fiber rich foods on Friday and got some Target brand miralax. I finally went yesterday. I am still up on my weight, which upsets me. The only thing different I didn't do this week was walk/run as much. I think I walked twice. Most of it was because I was lazy, the other part was because it was raining 2 of the days I usually walk/run. So I was determined to walk this morning. I walked/ran 4.39miles! Yay! My fitbit didn't pick up all of my miles but whatever, I know what I walked. E was awake for the first 2.2 miles, then thankfully fell asleep the last 2.2.

I bought a jogging stroller. I am going to wear out my Graco stroller in no time. I am excited because it's a nice one. :) Here is to hoping I can get back down before Tuesday.

One Month Pictures

I lost 1.5 inches in my waist. 

I lost 1 inch in my hips.

On my scale I have lost 6.6lbs (as opposed to my 8.2 at Weight Watchers)

You can't see a whole lot of difference from the front.

The difference is from the side. :) 

Impatient

I am getting really impatient. I really want to fit in my clothes. I wear yoga pants and shorts 95% of the time. I did try on the capri's and they get over my butt but aren't even close to buttoning.

I walked yesterday but only a mile because E was getting upset. I will walk in the morning. She usually falls asleep around 10am so I will go then. I need to do 3 miles. I had a hard day emotionally because I've been without hubby and the kids have been running me down. I almost emotional ate today. Thankfully I didn't and I stayed within my points. I wanted a second Dr. Pepper so badly. That is my weakness.....mmmmm.

Weigh In #3

153.0! That is down 3lbs! Yay! I was excited because of my weigh in last week. This means that I have hit my 5% goal of 8lbs. I have lost a total of 8.2lbs!

What I did differently this week? I walked/ran more. I walked/ran Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday & Sunday. I hit over 10,000 steps all the days I walked/ran. I think that helped a lot.

On Saturday I did not track at all. I had family over & it was too much to watch what I ate. I was hoping I had not sabotaged myself from the great week I had. Luckily I had not. I made myself walk/run 3.25 miles on Sunday as a trade. That the other thing I did. I added a mile to my walks.

I found a carb balance tortilla that is only one point so I made my breakfast burritos with those this week. They are good. So I can now make them for only 4 points with the Egg Beaters.

I am going to take my picture this Friday. It will have been 1 month since my last picture. My clothes still don't fit that well, but I know I am making progress. The one thing I'd like to add is weights and working on certain areas. I want to use the 5lbs weights on my arms and then work on my inner thighs. That part giggles the most. haha.

Until next time.

Weigh In #2

I weighed in today for the 2nd time. Not nearly as great as last week but it was a loss. 156.00. So .6 loss. I knew it wouldn't be that great because I didn't try as hard.

I upped my walking to 3.24 miles. I added a loop onto my workout. I even jogged some. I just got back from a walk/jog but only did 2.1m today. I jogged most of the last mile. It felt great!! I am walking in the morning with my friend. Her neighborhood has lots of hills.

My long term goal is to be at 130 by the time E turns 1. So February. If I lose at least 1lb per week I can attain that well before that. My short term goal is my pre-pregnancy jeans.

I have some pants I found a month ago. I have been looking for these specific capri pants for a couple of years. I found them at a resale shop. The waist is 30...but I measured it and it was 32 inch. My waist right now is 40.5. So I have a ways to go until I can fit in them. But I WANT to fit in them so badly.

FOOD
I have been making more food to eat and/or freeze. I make these yummy breakfast burrito's at the beginning of each week.

1 egg (or egg substitute like Egg Beaters)
1/2 Turkey sausage
1/8 cup colby jack cheese
1/2 whole wheat tortilla

With an egg it is 7 points, with the Egg Beaters is 6. Not a huge difference but they taste the same.

My favorite frozen dinner is potatoes, cheese, and broccoli. I made my own.

1 cup of red potatoes
1/2 cup of broccoli
1/4 cup colby jack cheese

It is 6 points. It's the same as the frozen, just fresher & less sodium/preservatives.
