Weigh in #11

Weight at home: 144.6

Weight Watchers Weight: 145.2

That means I made my 10% goal. I have lost 10% of my body weight! That is 16lbs!

I only lost .2 this week. I did not eat that great, I rarely tracked and I didn't work out. I only needed to lose .2 to make my 10% goal though. It's hard to believe I have lost that much weight. 16lbs!

I want to list the things I am not happy about my body. I don't think right now it is productive, but I want to look back and see if it's changed.

My stomach is still were most of my weight is. I assumed it would shrink more since I am below what I was even at my 150 before E.

My arms.

My love handles.

I know I could work on all of this by doing exercises that would target those areas. But I don't have that much time or motivation to do it. I did play soccer with G last night. My legs are sore. Maybe I should do that more often. Change stuff up. Also, a tragedy of epic proportions happened. I lost my fitbit for 2 days! lol It's okay now, because I found it.

Thoughts on feeling stuck

I have been so focused on getting to my pre-pregnancy weight that I feel weird that I am still losing after it. I am at 145.8 which is below that. I feel like I am stuck, even though I am not stuck. It doesn't feel real that I am still losing the weight. 130 seems so far away. Yet, I have lost 15lbs in 10 weeks. How is that possible?!

I think part of why I feel stuck is my clothes still fit differently. I am guessing it is because of the pregnancy itself. Which is okay. I can handle that. I am nervous that once I get to 130 I still won't be happy. I guess that is what the journey is about. The theme of this blog is to love myself ON this journey. Love my body the way it is before I make it. If I don't love my body now, I know I won't be happy once I make it to 130.

Weigh in #10!

Weight Watchers: 145.4
Home: 145.8

I have no idea how I weighed LESS at WW than my home scale. 

I did not track that well this week. I was in Arizona and I ate more cookies than I should have. I did eat in most of the time because it was so hot. Plus I had E at home with me while most people went out to do stuff. I did swim and we went shopping on Friday. 

I really want to walk/jog again. It's just TOO HOT! And I am not getting up at 6-630am to walk/run. I will just have to wait for it to cool off. 

Here are my measurements to date:

WW weight
4/23: 161.2
7/8: 145.4
-15.8

4/23/13
Waist: 40.5
Hips:41

7/8/13
Waist: 38
Hips: 38.5

H: -2.5 inches
W: -2.5 inches

Weigh in #9

I have completely forgotten to post the pictures from June. I am not motivated enough to do it right now. Ha.

I weighed in today because I won't be in town tomorrow. I never know what it will say because my scale, their scale, and the variation of activity between weighing myself and their scale is never the same.

My scale said 146.6 this morning. This is a good weight, as it's less than last week. I go at my normal 9-930 time. It says 146.4!! Woot. That is the weight I was on their scales before I got pregnant. So officially I have lost all my pregnancy weight! Now I just have to lose the weight from G, who will be 7 in August. hehe.

(Side note, while I am typing my husband is singing God Bless The USA to E. haha

I made it!

I weighed myself this morning (as I always do). I knew I had a good day yesterday with eating and doing extra things to make sure I'd get some exercise in. It said 146.6! I drank a lot of water yesterday and I went #2 a lot. TMI, I know. I still haven't been able to regulate my bowl movements. It doesn't matter what I eat or what I don't eat. I still can't go every day.

Back to the 146.6! That means I am .6 away from June 6 2012...the day I found out I was pregnant! I am happy about that! That means I have 16.6 lbs until I hit my goal weight. My 10% is 145 so only a few pounds to hit that also! :)

Weigh in #8

This was a rough week. I was only able to walk Thursday and Friday. It's too damn hot now! It gets so hot by even 8am. It sucks. I feel like I am in a slump with exercise. I did walk around the mall on Sunday though. Had almost 8000 steps.

I did not weigh in last week because I thought I could only weigh in on Tuesday. I was wrong but doesn't matter now. My scale said 147.6. Weight Watchers said 148.0. That was a -.2 change from 2 weeks ago. I am glad I didn't gain. I even ate Zucchini bread yesterday. Too much of it! I have to weigh in on Monday because we are going to see my dad next week with the kids. I have have have to stay in my points. I need to figure out how to be active inside.

So total weight loss with Weight Watchers: 13.2 lbs. I am still happy with that. I am on track to get to my goal weight before E's first birthday. How cool will it be when I am at a weight I have wanted to be at since I was pregnant with C!

What?!?!

As I said in my last post I went on vacation last week. We went to Vancouver, BC...well actually a town outside of it, Gibsons. It was a ferry ride over. It was AMAZING! The town was gorgeous, the house we stayed in was right on the water and the whole area is filled with greenery. I wasn't going to be able to track because of internet access. I didn't really want to track that much anyways but was still afraid of gaining too much weight. I figured I would gain since I wasn't tracking. I had my fitbit so I knew how many steps I'd been taking so I had that to help.

My average steps per day were about 4000-5000. Not great, but those steps where stairs and hills. Our house had probably 20 stairs. So we used this going up and down eat day several times per day. Sometimes carrying E and sometimes not. We walked a lot around the town after parking. I know that helped keep the weight off. I did not watch what I ate. I even had gelato one day! We went to Vancouver the last day of our trip. We walked 14,000!!! steps that day! I was feeling fat that night. Even though I ate whatever, I still was silently freaking out over the potential weight I had gained. I thought for sure I had gained at least 2lbs.

Since we were flying home yesterday I decided to start tracking again. I ate fairly well but only went over my points by 2.

So it all comes down to this morning when I went to weigh myself. I was prepared for the 150's. When I left I was 147.6 on my scale. Last Tuesday the day before vacation I was 148.2. I get up, pee, then get on the scale........148.6! WTH!!! I got off, got on again. 148.6. I was so happy. In hindsight the feeling fat was bloat, I guess. I was so happy. I am so happy. I don't have to walk my butt off this week to lose more weight. Yipee!

Now that it's hot sooner, I am going to have to walk sooner. I can't today because E went to sleep last night at 10:30pm! She is still asleep at 8:15. I will resume that tomorrow. :)
