Weight Loss Check In

Lost weight again! Yay! On another note, I'm beginning to question whether I will fit into my normal prepregnancy jeans ever again. I have a few pairs that have some stretch to them and I can wear those but I have my 2 favorites that still don't fit. I am now officially 3lbs less than I was when I got pregnant. I think my hips are permanently wider than before. I mean, these jeans aren't even close to fitting. Joy.

I achieved my goal of working out twice this week! Thanks G for motivating my butt on Saturday!!

I really need to get better about tracking my points and upping my fruits and veggies. Things to focus on this week!

I'm beginning to think something is wrong with my scale. I've noticed if I get on and off several times, I can get 3-4 different weights and they fluctuate in a 5lb range. I got the same weight 4 times this morning so I'm going to count it but I might be investing in a new scale if this keeps up.

In other news, I did a better job tracking this week and was able to hit up Randazzo's so we had more produce in the house which was nice. I did work out! Once. But, hey it's something! I felt the pain of the 30 Day Shred after having not worked out for 10 months. 10 months! Yikes! My thighs still hurt this morning.

I've set the alarm a couple of times this week with the intention of getting up early and working out before Madelyn wakes up. Both times, Madelyn was up in the middle of the night, once from 3:30am-6:30am. I've decided to go back to my original plan of not having a plan and squeezing in working out as Miss. M allows.

I figured out how to fit water in or at least remind myself to drink water. I've started setting the oven timer for 1 hour. Every time the timer goes off, I drink a glass of water. Sad, isn't it?

Week 0 - 182.2
Week 1 - 176.8
Week 2 - 176.8
Week 3 - 171.6
Weekly Loss - 5.2
Total Loss - 10.6

I had to set a new goal since I achieved 5% weight loss. The new goal is 10% weight loss and I need to hit 163.8

My goals for the week are to track every day and fit working out into 2 days.

Ugh! I was terrible about tracking this week and the scale shows that. I can't complain too much but it just goes to show I can't take the extra breastfeeding points for granted and really need to focus. I also failed miserably at exercising this week. I am going to keep my goals the same for this coming week!

Week 0 - 182.2
Week 1 - 176.8
Week 2 - 176.8 - that's right, completely flat
Total Loss - 5.4

This week was a bit of an adjustment period. I was learning the online system of Weight Watchers since I had done the class system last time. They have also changed their program considerably since I last was on the wagon and all the points values have changed so I found myself looking everything up again. The biggest adjustment is figuring out how to eat as much food as breastfeeding allows. It has been a bit of a struggle, especially since some days it is 11am before I'm putting my first bite of food into my mouth. I also need to work on increasing my water intake and start exercising. I have taken Madelyn out in her stroller a few times this week to pick up Ben but it is hardly the exercise that gets your heart rate up.

Week 0 - 182.2
Week 1 - 176.8
Total Loss - 5.4

I should be really excited but I can attribute some of this loss to switching scales. The original weight was recorded on my doctor's scale which has never been friendly to me. Today's weight is from my scale at home. I would say 1-2lbs are from this but overall a good week.

Goals For This Week:
Drink my required water everyday
30 Day Shred at least twice

here's another adorable pic of Miss. M for reading this week's entry!

Operation Lose the Baby/Marriage Weight

I successfully lost 25lbs a few years ago. I credit my success to Weight Watchers and training for a marathon. I then got lazy and the weight started creeping back on. I managed to keep my total gain during my pregnancy to 30lbs and have lost 20 of those pounds so far. Georgette and I have bonded together to get healthy this new year! Nick also wants to lose some weight. Rather than gaining sympathy weight while I was pregnant, Nick seems to have picked up all the pounds I lost post pregnancy. I am holding myself even more accountable by posting weekly updates in this blog for all the world to see. If you don't see an update each week - call me out on it!

So here is the plan:
Join Weight Watchers online - done
Start training for a 5k with the hubs - waiting until Spring so I can push Miss. Mad in her stroller.
30 Day Shred - in progress

The crazy thing - I get an extra 14 points EACH DAY due to breastfeeding. That is a huge amount of food!

Week 0 - Opening Stats (yikes - I can't believe I'm about to publish this!)
Current Weight - 182.2
First goal - 172.9
Final goal - 145.0
