Well... I gained a pound...
No biggie though... I think I'm done with the 'pounds'. After talking to a few people, I have come to realize that my weight is going to go up and down through this process. Muscle weighs more than fat. But more than that, my weight will/is shifting to different...more appealing places on my body.
((Speaking of that..IF I am even one of those poor souls that loses what boobs I do have when I lose weight I'm going to be pissed! I don't have much to work with & I actually do like being a girl))
So I'm going by pant sizes. After all, that is what REALLY matters to me. I want to wear cute clothes! I want to be able to breathe in a pair of jeans!
Pant sizes. As of last week I am out of my maternity pants. I tried on my pre-pregnancy pants at the beginning of the week..I could get them buttoned but there was no way this girl was going out in public with a camel toe! BUT by the end of the week they fit perfect! This week there is a little room to spare with the good ol thumb measurement! Then... I tried on the next size down. Um ya...haha!! Let's just say I won't be getting off this diet anytime soon. My realistic goal is to be down 2 pant sizes by the end of the year. Do-able right??
I'm having some trouble with eating. It's getting harder. I'm just tired of eating the same ol same ol. SO if anyone has some new ideas for low calorie meals PLEASE let me know. If I can't find any alternatives for meals...I think I'm going to attemept Weight Watchers again. I'm already eating their frozen meals most days for lunch.
Worked out four times!! I really really want to push for five this week. It's just so stinkin hard with the babies to have a little time to myself. I'll be doing either the 2K or 5K (depending on L&L's mood) Saturday morning for the Gartenfest if anyone is interested in going with me!! Not crazy about getting up so early in the morning, but hey...if I can get a workout in with the company of others I'm down!

I'm with you on the weight thing. My scale is a no no except for Mondays. I have noticed a change in the way the flab on my stomach bounces when I do my the Shred...it doesn't bounce as high. So that's what I'm going by. When my stomach stops bouncing, I'm good.
And girl, do NOT drive yourself crazy with a diet. The more I think about the food I can't eat, the more I want it. I eat whatever I want for meals...just smaller portions of what I used to eat. I have a bag of chocolate chunk cookies in my pantry and I'm good with not eating them cause I know they are there if I want them, and if I do, I eat one. I've discovered a few good snacks that keep me happy...cheese sticks, fresh fruit, Diet Dr. Pepper, and COFFEE. Coffee is my breakfast substitute.
See, I would do the portion control BUT I have never been a big eater. That's why I don't get why I'm fat?! Ugh, sooo frusterfrated!!
I took a test with my PT & the computer told me what foods I should eat more of and which ones I should stay away from. But, it doesn't seem to be working that well.
Even if I only eat say 1000 calories a day. My workouts don't burn more than that. I don't think? No way. And that is how you lose weight right? Burn more than you eat. UGGGGH
Its hard...but you will get there just stick with it...you can do it!!!
I totally agree with the scale thing. I would never step on a scale if the doctors office didn't make me. I don't care what I weigh, I would be happy with weighing 200lbs if I felt comfortable in my own skin!
(ok, maybe not 200.. but you get me)
In your new FB picture of you & Travis.. your face looks skinnier already! so whatever your doing--it's working!!!! Keep up the good work sister!
ps. I am a true believer of weight watchers. worked for me after I had Landon-- I would truly recommend it to ANYONE!!!
