I need some motivation!

So, these past few weeks I still can't really get into eating healthy and exercising. I am kind of dragging and still wanting to just eat whatever/whenever which isn't helping my waist line. On Friday, I was super busy packing and taking my baby to the doctor but I think I was 152.6 which is up 1.6 pounds, good grief. Now I've just spent the weekend eating crap at Welsh Days in Wales, UT (where my Mom now lives) and it was fun, but not healthy. I keep thinking that one of these days I'm going to snap out these eating habits of when I was pregnant but I just haven't yet! I am probably up to 154-155 now after the eating this weekend.

My latest thinking is that if I eat really well and lose a pound or two a week, it will only take 5+ weeks to be back down around 141 where I was before I got pregnant. I really need to start working hard because the summer is 1/3 over and I still don't fit into half of my summer clothes. I really need some motivation, stat!

I usually go into a new week motivated to eat well with a fridge and counter full of really healthy food (and no treats in the house). However, I am not planning to go grocery shopping til Friday, July 1st (because we are out of money this month), so I am going to have to be really creative this week to eat well. No cheddar cheese in the house is a good start :)

Whenever I start to feel chubby, I think of two people who inspire me to stay slim. One is my sister-in-law Shannon. I have seen her eat moderately and say no to a delicious cookie without even blinking. I wish I had her will power! The other person is my friend Debbie. She loves good food, but once again, in moderation and she always looks so good. I remember back in the day when we were the same size, I want to get there again!

Here's to another week and hopefully some improvements.

Friday Morning Weigh-in

This morning I weighed in at 151, yay. Just under 10 pounds to go!

Friday Morning Weigh-in

I am a little late on this post but I have been busy and sick this weekend. Last Friday I weighed in at 152.4, which was only down 0.2 pounds. The day before I was down to 151.8 but I woke up feeling sick on Friday and feeling weighed down. You know that feeling when you don't feel well and you just feel heavier, well, that was me on Friday.

Last week I just did okay. On Tuesday it was my anniversary so we had a nice steak and potatoes dinner with strawberry shortcake for dessert. Then I still had the cake in my house and keep eating it on Wednesday. I finally shaped up and ate well on Thursday but as you can see, not much of a weight loss. Then on Friday I surprised Justin with an overnighter and we went out to eat at the Spaghetti Factory, had candy at the movies that night and ate out breakfast which was super yummy! So overall, not great eating since and I'm still not feeling all that well so my workouts will probably be a little light until I am back to normal.

It may be slow going, but I will succeed eventually!

Friday Morning Weigh-in

This morning I weighed in at 152.6, back to where I was a few weeks ago. I didn't expect a weight loss this week especially when I weighed over 156 this past Tuesday, sheesh! Oh well, I'll take it. Here's to being in the 151's next week and only 10 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight :)
