Friday Weigh In

Yesterday I weighed in at 143.2, only down 0.2 pounds from last week.  My body is really giving me a challenge lately.  I exercise a lot each day and eat well most of the time, but the weight just doesn't want to budge.  If I indulge AT ALL, I go up an automatic 2 pounds each time, it's crazy!  I know it's not true weight gain but it shows up all the same.  Anyway, still eating well and moving forward.  Still trying to make it down 3 pounds.  I'm starting a new strength training regimen that will hopefully help.  I have a workout video that has an upper body and lower body strength workout that go for 20 minutes and I'm hoping to complete each twice a week.  I already did the upper body once this week.

Friday Weigh In

This morning I weighed in at 143.4, which is up 0.4 pounds from last week, but the day before I was 141.8, so I'm not sure why my weight decided to spike like that.  I have been eating well and exercising a lot so I'm not sure it is entirely accurate of my true weight.  Later in the day after drinking 4 glasses of water, mowing the lawn and doing yard work, and eating lunch I stepped on the scale again before showering and I was at 143 so who knows?

At this rate, I only lost 3 pounds in 6 weeks instead of 6 but I'm still going strong and going to make it eventually.  I talked with my good friend who always looks so good and she says it takes her an entire year to make it down to her pre pregnancy weight with each of her kids so that made me feel better :)  Although I think she gains more than me but her last kid was born 7 weeks early so who knows?

Anyway, still moving forward and loving that there are so many fresh fruits and veggies available in the summer, I may sign up for Bountiful Baskets this summer, yum!

Friday Weigh In

This morning I weighed in at 143.  This is up 0.4 pounds from last week and certainly not down 1.4 pound like I planned ha ha.  I started indulging some last Saturday for Mother's Day and continued on Sunday of course.  Then, I just did not have it in me to diet this week so I just ate whatever, whenever and the scale shows.  (Some times you need to just take a break from dieting.)  In fact, I am surprised I am not higher than I am.

My goal date is a week from now and with 3 pounds to go I doubt it will happen but I finally feel "treated" out and ready to eat well today and my fridge is stocked with fruits and veggies.  One of the reasons I am not as motivated as before is most of my summer clothes fit now, my face looks skinny and I feel good (when I don't totally pig out on sugar that is).  We'll see how far I make it next Friday when I reach my goal date.  See a picture of me yesterday with my son on his field trip (great day!)

Friday Weigh In

This morning I weighed in at 142.6, down 0.6 pounds from last week.  The fact that I pulled off a weight loss this week truly astounds me.  Over the weekend I enjoyed treats from my son's baptism and then made yummy gooey brownies on Sunday night.  I continued to eat said brownies a few more times during the week.  Plus my cycle started on Monday and when it came, I was soooo hungry all the time and my weight was all over the place.  I knew I was supposed to eat well, and I did eat well, but I still ate a lot.  I exercised a lot to try and make up for it.  So the fact that I lost weight is pretty amazing. 

So, I have 2 weeks until my goal and I still have 2.8 pounds to go which means losing 1.4 pounds per week.  Sounds doable eh?  I hope so.  My only worry is Mother's Day and I know my husband will make me a big breakfast and then we'll have yummy dinner at my in-laws plus whatever treats come that day which they surely will from the kids, my husband and church.  Oh well, it should hopefully be the only day I indulge.  Next week, aiming to be at 141.2 (which is the weight I started at with Mikey and my goal weight last time :)

Friday Weigh In

This morning I weighed in at 143.2, down a pound from last week.  Earlier this week I was down to 142.8, but then I started eating sugar again because I love it and was missing it.  Plus I have been working my butt off painting, doing yard work and deep cleaning to get ready for my son's baptism tomorrow.  So on Wednesday I ate deep dish pizza and brownies and paid for it on the scale ha ha.  Totally worth it, so yummy!  Plus I ate a few mini donuts yesterday too, again, yummy :)

So, I am going to eat a big lunch tomorrow and then hopefully eat well and be down at least a pound again next week.  Still on track for losing 6 pounds in 6 weeks.  Haven't done any cardio type exercise like running, walking etc but definitely still burning those calories.
