Hi all! Sorry I didn't get a chance to post yesterday. I started work on a new TV show on Sunday and had to do a 13 hour night shoot for my first "day" and I was uh, DEEPLY exhausted yesterday. I didn't lose any weight when I weighed myself yesterday, but it may have been the lack of sleep. Hoping to catch up with weight loss during the rest of this week, which will (thankfully) not be nearly as crazy, hours wise!
How are you all doing? I'm excited that I'm 4 pounds down since I started this, and I'm going to be looking ahead to 5 pound mini goals as I move forward, to celebrate my momentum, instead of beating myself up for it being slow. Looking forward to hearing from you all!

Mini goal - 210

Well my scale is pretty consistently saying in weigh 215 and my husband's weight on it hasn't changed dramatically, so I am going to go ahead and use that as my current weight, which means I'm below my pre-prwgnanxy weight and I get to change my mini goal to 199!
Also, I got a fitbit for my birthday yesterday. I only got about 5500 steps yesterday because we were not in our normal routine, but I'm looking forward to having that to help motivate me. Food wise... well, I'll have some work to do to make up for the celebrations

Well, I forgot that Monday was Thanksgiving which meant calorie counts went wayyyy WAY out the window during our family dinner on Sunday. Oh well. It's a new week and I'm mostly back on track. SO is also helping by eating all my mint girl guide cookies, so that temptation will be removed by tomorrow...

I have really been trying to up my water intake here in the last week, I am peeing every 5 minutes so that is annoying lol. To jumpstart my weight loss I have gone back to doing protein shakes most of the day and a small dinner at night. Surprisingly I feel BETTER doing my shakes during the day the past few weeks, and the protein helps you feel fuller for longer amounts of time.
I haven't cut out beer/wine though I don't drink a lot by any means, but typically in the evenings I will have one beer or glass of wine.

I FINALLY lost another pound this week after over two weeks of no movement on the scale. I've been so frustrated because I have been eating perfectly AND working out. My husband keeps telling me I need to "confuse" my metabolism, and just have one binge day. I resisted. Then, last night I gave in to a sugar craving and shared a box of milk duds with my husband. I seriously haven't had sugar in months. Lo and behold, I stepped on the scale this morning, and I'm down a pound. My husband laughed and said, "told ya!"
I know I need to be patient with my weight loss. But it's still frustrating when I put in SO much work, and the results seem minimal (scale wise). I just need to tell myself that I FEEL better, all of my clothes are fitting, and I look good (dang it!). These last 15 pounds or so will eventually come off if I just keep at it!
Current weight: 121
goal weight: 120
my eating could be better as always but it's decent for the most part, this is week 10 of consistently working out Monday-Friday. I'm excited because I'm finally below my pre pregnancy weight which makes me feel closer to ready for another baby! lol if you're looking for a workout program I strongly recommend T25, it's through beachbody. I def do not do any of that selling or coaching or whatever it is or their nutrition plans or anything but I have had awesome results with the workouts! It's only 25 mins a day!
