Week 4

I lost another pound this week, which bring my total weight loss to 37 pounds.  I have 8 more pounds of baby weight to lose, and 58 pounds overall.  I did very well this past week as far as nutrition goes, but I only got one good walk in.  It's hard to find the time and energy to exercise since I'm back to work, and on top of that, the weather has started to get kinda crappy.  We got snow this week, which really sucks.  I ordered a stroller cover from Amazon so that I can still get out for a walk when the weather is less than desirable.  Also, since it's been almost 8 weeks since my c-section, I'm going to start using my resistance bands, and my sissy sent me a beginner's pilates video that she swears by, so I'll try that out.

I've been bad about writing down what I eat, so I don't think I'll be posting my food in my blogs anymore.  I've started going a few days at a time without writing down what I eat, then by the time I get around to doing it, I've forgotten when I ate.  I am definitely sticking to my diet, though, because it's working.  I'll keep writing my blog, because I think it helps me to stay on track.  Until next time...

Week 3

Yay, I lost weight this week!!!  3 pounds down.  That brings my total to 36, so I have 59 to go.  It seems like a lot still, but it's coming off.  I had a good week as far as nutrition is concerned, but I discovered that I will not be able to get exercise every day.  I started back to work this week, and I've been busy, so I only got out for a walk three days, but they were good walks.  John and I have decided to go completely organic.  I had always bought organic milk and eggs, but I've started buying everything organic (even baby wash and formula!).  I'm still trying new recipes from my Weight Watchers cookbook, trying to find which ones are the yummiest and easiest, since I'm back to work.  So my menus will start to look pretty boring, but convenience is very important.  Here's how the week looked:

I'm going to have to make sure that I'm not missing meals, but it's definitely going to be hard.  Now that I'm back to work, I have to try to get little naps in during the day when Casey is sleeping.  There are times when sleep is more important than food, but I'm going to try my hardest to not miss meals.
