Measurements

It's been 6 months today that I started measuring myself. There is a huge difference. haha

The pictures basically speak for themselves.

Left: 9/17  Right: 10/17

There is a noticeable difference but I only lost .75

 Left: 4/17 Right: 10/17

Weigh in #23 & #24

I need to start this off with the best news of all. MY JEANS DON'T FIT ANYMORE. My favorite jeans no longer fit. They fit right out of the dryer but that's it. I went to a rich area where there is a resale shop and bought 2 pairs of name brand jeans. I love them. YAY!

I failed again at updating last week. It's hard to actually sit down at my computer to type out a simple blog post. I was going to do it on Tuesday, and thought about it, but since today is my measure and picture day I decided to wait until today to post. I have some time because E is in her high chair 'eating' puffs and I am eating breakfast.

October 8:
At Home: 136.7
Weight Watchers: 137.0
Weekly loss: -1.2
Total Weight Loss: -24.2

That is 15% of my body weight! I was really excited. The walking has really been paying off.

So that brings us to this week. I didn't track much. I ate whatever some days. I did not walk because it's been raining non-stop. It was just bad. I knew I had gained.

October 15:
At Home: 137.3
Weight Watchers: 137.6
Weekly gain: +.6
Total Weight Loss: -23.6

Of course I was not happy, but it was my own fault. I am struggling to find a good balance though because E is eating more solids some days. I feel like I should take away points but then some days I am starving. I talked to the WW lady and she said if you feel hungry, eat the 40 points. If you don't feel hungry and she has eaten more solids that day, eat less points. Just play with it.

Since it's been raining my friend suggested we do a workout video at her house. She keeps 1 to 2 babies and since I have E they could just play. I didn't feel much on the first day but the video we did yesterday was awesome. I went and bought it plus 2 small 3lb weights. I woke up this morning with sore abs and arms. YAY!

Weigh In #21 & #22

I started this post yesterday, but got distracted by my motherly duties.

I forgot to post last weeks weigh in. It has been a busy few weeks. We have had soccer practice, ballet, and 1/2 of the family was sick! E is finally better, G still has the hacky cough, but I am now sick. Bleh. I have felt icky since last night.

On to the weigh in from last week.

At home: 138.3
Weight Watchers: 139.2
Weekly Loss: -.4
Total Weight Loss: -22

My normal routine for Tuesday morning are drop G off, drop C off, then drive and wait until 9 am so I can weigh in. Well they changed their hours starting this week. UGH! They won't open until 10:45am. I used to be able to not eat or drink until 9am. I now I have to rework my schedule. Bleh. I decided to eat some eggs and drink some water this morning. Also, C is changing pre-schools to one that is in town so it will be a bit easier on my pocket book, gas and sanity so I don't have to deal with a screaming E for 20 minutes.

I ate okay last week. I was worried about the different time of weighing in and the not eating well would make me not lose much. I walked Friday and Monday so I know that helped. We walked on Friday and 5.44 yesterday. I was happy with that.

Here is this weeks weigh in:

At home: 137.3
Weight Watchers: 138.2
Weekly Loss: -1
Total Weight Loss: -23

YAY! So happy that even though I ate not so awesome, I still did well this week. I also decided to reduce my points on Monday because E is eating solids more regularly. Hubby is the feeder and pretty regular with it. I think it's what made me lose so much from Sunday to today.

Weigh In #20

139.7 - Weight at home

139.6 - weight watchers weight
Total weight loss: 21.6!

That is -1.6!!

Finally! I haven't had this much weight loss since the summer! I ate really good this week. I walked several times. My friend and I walked 4.6 miles yesterday! I am 9.6lbs away from my goal weight. I am a few pounds away from not being considered 'overweight'. I bought a pair of size 4 shorts from Target today! I am very excited. I rewarded myself with a Dr. Pepper today. Also, the other thing I did this week was only drink 1 diet coke per day. I did that, mostly. hehe. I also didn't eat after 6/7pm. 

The number one thing I do worry about is my milk. Which, as of right now, has not suffered at all. So that is a plus. Yay. Until next week.

Scale is moving

I have been really really discouraged the last few weeks. I can't seem to get my head straight and it's showing in my weight loss. As you know I gained .2, which isn't a lot, but in my head it is. I am sure that is a skewed view but whatever.

I walked 4 miles on Wednesday and I am trying to decide if I want to walk this morning once E is up from her nap.

I have had several people tell me that I look good. One told me I was her inspiration! ha. It is very sweet for people to say that. My hubby just likes my big boobs, haha.

I do admit I am feeling skinny at times. I over ate on Wednesday night and I felt so gross. I haven't over eaten in a long time. I forgot it feels gross. It lasted several hours. Today I am hungry. Mostly it's just boredom. That is one thing I struggle with is boredom eating. Maybe I'll look up some ways to battle that.

For now, I'll go pick up the house. :)

Weigh In #19

I don't even want to post. I gained. But I only gained .2. It is my own fault though. I made cinnamon rolls and I ate a lot of carbs yesterday. I want to lower my points but my lovely husband said I shouldn't because I am becoming obsessed with losing weight. He says I look good and give yourself credit, that I have lost 20lbs. He is right though, hate admitting that, but he is right. Another reason I am upset is because my jeans do not fit around my waste still. It's still from my pregnancy. I know it is. I gain weight in my stomach so it's all still sitting there.

I can give this reason or that but really it's my own fault. I ate like crap. I am feeling itchy to do something though, like craft or paint a wall. I just don't have time.

I need to think of something to change this week instead of have a pity party. I think I will drink as much water as I can. Always have water around. And only one Diet Coke. It's my guilty habit.

Weigh In #18

140.9 Weight at home

141.0 WW weight

-.4 from last week

-20.2 total weight loss

I happy with that. Still really slow but I am okay with it. The only thing I am still annoyed with is my postpartum belly. It's still ugh. Pants still don't fit much. Muffin top still. Yuck. I am thinking my abdominal muscles are separated. I still sometimes look 4 months pregnant. 

I started walking again this morning. C started dance and I met a lady that lives in my city. We are meeting up Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to walk. We walked 2.5 miles this morning.

My scale this morning said 140.0! I am THISCLOSE to the 130's! Woot!
