The last 2 weigh in's and monthly measurements!

Weigh in from 4/8:

I had not done the best at eating the week prior and I'd missed my normal weigh in so I knew I needed to weigh in even though I was afraid of gaining that week. I had to go in on Wednesday which was nice because they open early that day.

WW: 132.8
-1.0 officially (that was a loss from 2 weeks)

Weigh in from Tuesday 4/15:

At home: 131.3 (OMG YAY!)
WW: 132.2
-.6
TOTAL: -29lbs!

My WW year anniversary is next Wednesday. I am thinking about going in on Wednesday just so I can do it on my year. I'd love to lose 1lb this week so I can have an even 30lbs for the year.

Today is my year from starting measuring and pictures!

Weight: 131.3
Waist (stomach) -5.5 inches
Hips: -3.5 inches
Bust: -4 inches

Left Arm/Leg: 10.5in/20.25in

Tuesday Weigh In

I over committed myself to too many things yesterday. I made plans for E to be with a babysitter for about 30/40 minutes. She does not like anyone other than Mama or Dada to be with her. But I have an important appointment next Thursday and hubby is going to be away from home that day. Then I needed to get my hair done. My hairdresser only works at her salon Mon, Tues and Saturday's. Those are not my idea days but it's what I have to work with if I want my hair done. Side note: I am now a brunette. I am not sure how I feel about it yet, but it's not ugly. Being a brunette makes me think of what my life was like before hubby. It reminds me of being in a different place in my life. The blonde was MY thing. It was what I did for myself. The reason I went brunette was because my roots have been growing really fast lately and it's been hard to find time to get to the salon. So I will be brown for a while and add some highlights in here and there.

With all that I didn't get a chance to weigh in. But that is okay. Just because I worked really hard and stayed within my points 90% of the time, but couldn't weigh in...it doesn't mean none of that counted. SOOOOOO what was my home weight? 132.5!! Holy CRAP!! Yay! Very exciting! I am happy with that. That means I am 2.5lbs away from my goal! A goal I have had since 2007!

We are going out to dinner tonight. Hubby owes me a yummy dinner at my favorite place. I did something I haven't done in a long time...count my points ahead of time! I actually feel more relaxed about the day. I know how many points I have for snacks. I am also walking 2 hours (6.7 miles) this afternoon.

Until next time.

Weeeekly Goooooaaaaaal!!

I am happy to report I FINALLY saw 132 on the scale at home! 132.8 this morning! Yesterday morning my 5 year old C told me my belly was getting smaller. We all know kids are honest to a fault and she usually tells me my belly is big. I usually take her "critiques" with a grain of salt but I'm accepting this one! Haha!

I hope I can keep up this momentum up. I'd like to have a decent weight loss at the meeting.

Weigh in Day

It's been a rough week. I've been working on getting baby E to sleep in her crib longer. Once I have her down all I want to do is eat. So I have been late night eating. I know that is not ideal or beneficial at all but it's just what I do...emotional eating. I had every intention of eating within my points on Sunday but my husband said we were going to eat Mexican with his parents and I HAD to eat. I have zero self control with Mexican food. Ha.

Yesterday I ate within my points and walked 6.5 miles. I got back down a few ounces lower than last week. I knew it wouldn't be much of a weight loss, but I don't care. I don't like to see the gain.

Weight at Home: 133.1
Weight at WW: 133.8
Weekly Loss: -.4
Total Loss: -27.4
Pounds until Goal: 3.8lbs

-.4 for the week. Not bad seeing as though I didn't do that great. My goal this week is to track everything and FINALLY see 132 on the scale at home. I am back to where I was when I stopped back in November. Took me almost 2 months. My own fault but I like the slow weight loss.

I got this weird charm today that I earned. It was for going 4 weeks in a row. I don't really know what it does but it's kind of cool. Just a little memento.

Weigh in #30!

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

Monthly Measurements and Pictures!

I was nervous about how my weight would be today. I ate good all day yesterday but I didn't have my kids back by the end of the day and I didn't know when I'd get them back. So I emotional ate. My hubby said "Just eat if it will make you feel better." He could see I was upset about the kids not being back so he "gave me permission" to eat. Haha. So I ate.

I woke up went on the scale and it said:

WHAT?!?!? I couldn't even believe it. This was the third time I got on the scale because I honestly didn't believe it. God did for me what I couldn't do for myself. Ha. Well, I did my part, God did the rest. 

On to the measurements! Next month it will be my one year mark of taking measurements and weight loss! I can't believe it's been a year. It seemed so daunting and overwhelming thinking about all the weight I had to lose. 

Weight: 133.4 lbs
Waist: 35.5 in
Hips: 37.75 in
Bust: 37.5 in
Right Arm: 10.25 in
Left Arm: 10.5 in
Right thigh: 21 in
Left thigh: 20.5 in

This is the one month difference. Not a whole lot of difference visually, as usual. 

11 month difference

I love data. I love seeing the numbers drop. I made a spreadsheet about it too. haha I do a yearly loss next month! My goal is to be at my goal weight by next measurement on April 17th. 

Here are my normal pants. The lovely Target Yoga pants. Size Small!

Hoping for a good weigh in tomorrow at Weight Watchers. 

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!
