Friday Morning Weigh-in

This morning I weighed in at 146.6, which is down 0.8 pounds from last week. I wrote about feeling derailed but the nausea has all but left now and I have been doing some fun interval programs on my treadmill and when I mix up workouts I tend to have greater weight loss. I didn't eat perfectly this week, but I didn't go overboard much either.

After two weeks I was supposed to be at 146.8 to stay on track to lose 4 pounds in 4 weeks, and I am right on track, yay! I like these mini goals, they are great for me and I seem to have more success. Also, I have just over 5 pounds to go and I can taste the end coming and it makes me happy.

However, I have been craving my homemade sugar cookies since before I had the baby and I was gaining so much weight I never made them but I still really want them. So, I think I am going to make them today, indulge a little and be done with my long standing craving :)

Feeling derailed

This past weekend has been tough, in fact, the week has been tough. With having this constant nagging of nausea it has been hard to ignore hunger when it makes you sick. Therefore I have had to eat more than normal and what's worse, eat before bed or I feel ill when I get up with the baby in the night. If the baby didn't get up, I would probably be fine. Plus, I can't really push it with the exercise because I don't feel well enough to. It may be time to see the doc. I hate it when things are going so well and I feel so close to the finish line just to have something like this derail me. Boo!

Thursday Morning Weigh In

Normally I weigh in on Fridays but I will probably go out with my siblings for outing day again and I wanted to see what I really weigh after exercising etc. So, this morning after eating breakfast and then exercising I weighed in at 147.4, which is down 1.4 pounds from last week. Just over 6 pounds to go to my pre-pregnancy weight, yipee!

One downside though, I am not feeling very well lately. I have slight nausea that just won't go away so I need to eat snacks pretty constantly to feel okay. However, I am pretty good at making healthy choices like fruit and frozen cooked veggies but still, it's there plaguing me. I am not pregnant since my cycle ended recently but I wish I knew how to get rid of it.

Also, our bed has gone bad unfortunately and I haven't slept well without back pain for about 3 weeks now. We finally bought a new bed last night and I finally woke up without total pain. However, my baby and daughter were up so many times last night that I feel like a walking zombie today. I hope I can enjoy my new bed with more sleep and less back pain soon!

Friday Morning Weigh-in

This morning I weighed in at 148.8, just 0.4 pounds higher than my goal. However, if I exercised and then weighed in I would definitely be below my goal but I just don't have time this morning to do that since we are heading out to the SL County Fair today. Yesterday when I exercised and weighed in I was at 148.2, so I really do feel like I made it to my goal especially since I exercised 50 minutes and then shoveled and wheel barrowed dirt into my backyard for an hour and ate really really well :)

I liked having this mini goal to go towards and losing 4 pounds in a month feels really good. So, with that, I am going to make another goal to be down another 4 pounds in one month which will be September 12th (or hopefully Friday, Sept 9th). Then I will only have 3.5 pounds to go to my pre-pregnancy weight, yay! So, I will continue my weekly weigh-ins but my newest goal is to be 144.8 by September 12th :)

I usually like to exercise first and then weigh in on Fridays but that has been hard this summer since my brother, sister (and sometimes sister-in-law) have gone on outings Friday mornings. After next Friday though, these will end since Timmy is starting school :) It will be nice to get back to my regular schedule.

Cheers!

New favorite treats

So, lately if I need a little treat, I have done pretty good at not eating too much. I am currently enjoying roasted marshmallows on my stove (25 calories each!) I also eat a few chocolate chips which helps with my chocolate craving and I also eat the Skinny Cow truffle ice cream bars, delicious and only 100 calories. I also have otter pops and I love the pink ones and I also really like the Stauffer's chocolate animal crackers, yum! One other delicious treat is from Menchies, the frozen yogurt store and their cup cake flavor with a few almonds on top is so yummy!

I decided to weigh myself in this morning and I was 149.4, down 3 pounds! After eating cereal and then exercising I was down to 148.8 just before I showered. Last weekend was not so stellar when we had friends over and I ate way too many chocolate chip cookies, but I have been really trying to eat well and work out this week so I feel good.

I know I didn't make it to the month mark next week on the 12th but I'm weak, lol!

My main motivation is to fit in my jeans this fall. I have some jeans that fit me now but they are too long and I don't love how they drag. All of my other jeans are still a bit snug so I really need to get back to my pre pregnancy weight to feel good in my jeans. The only jeans that sadly fit really well are my pregnancy jeans and I don't really want to wear those anymore. I have luckily fit into enough of my capris and shorts (not all) this summer so it's been okay but this fall, I need to wear my jeans! Getting closer, yay!
