So I’m down to 133.8 pounds! Yay me!!! When I got pregnant with my son (he’s now 6.5 months old) I weighed 130 so I’m pleased to know that most of my baby weight is gone. After I get to 130 I’ll be strictly in losing all of the “me” weight, lol. You know, the weight I gained by eating too much and not exercising, LOL! I never had a weight problem in my life so I have always eaten like there’s no consequence, well…that’s all CHANGED!!! LMBO!!!

Some goals this week:

1. Keep drinking water. (aiming for 64+ oz per day)

2. Elliptical, Yoga Booty Ballet or Turbo Jam on Monday, Wed, Fri. do a sculpt dvd on the alternate days.

3. Continue day weaning my son from the breast (NOT easy let me tell ya!)

4. Eat to live and not live to eat. Be sensible, watch my portions and enjoy my food.

5. Aim for more fresh, fruit and veggies.

I’m also rethinking my goal weight of 115 pounds. I know that I probably could get there, but I am wondering if I will be able to maintain it easily. Before my weight balloned up to 130 lbs I was easily maintaining 120-122 and I looked good and wore size 4-6 petite (I’m only 5′1). Also, my hubby likes me with a little more weight on. I was 97 pounds when he met and married me! So…I don’t know. Any input or advice?

Hard work really does pay off…duh! 

Guess what I weighed this morning….

134.6!!! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! Monday I think I weighed about 138. I’m so thrilled and even MORE motivated to stick with this!!!!

So far today I’ve had my oatmeal and a glass of OJ. I’m drinking water now. OH and of course I had my coffee, too. There’s not much food in my house so I’ve got to go do my groceries. I’ve put all healthy foods on the list. I’m not bringing any chips, cookies or sugary snacks into the house, no matter how much my kids whine.

Hope you have a fantastic day too!!!

I think I’ve done pretty well for myself today (pats back). Today I’ve eaten:
Breakfast:
1 cup of coffee with splenda and light cream
1 bowl of oatmeal

Snack:
Apple

Lunch:
4 pieces of Melba toast with peanut butter
1.5 cups of mixed veggies

Snack:
Salad with romaine lettuce, green and red peppers drizzled with raspberry vinagrette
1 cup of Red Pommagranate Rooibus tea

Dinner:
Spagetti with 6 small meatballs, sauce and mixed veggies

Cup of coffee with splenda and light cream

Cup of cammomile tea.

In addition to that I drank over 70 oz of water (not including my tea and coffee)

For exercise today I did a half hour on the elliptical in the morning and I did my Yoga Booty Ballet workout in the evening! Yay!!!

Slowly but surely I WILL do this!!!!

I’ve had enough! This weight has got to go! I’m committing to eating well, and working out at least 5 times per week. I’m doing a low fat, low cal, but high in “good carb” diet. I’m working out using my elliptical machine, and my workout videos: Yoga Booty Ballet, Turbo Jam, also as the good weather approaches I’ll be trying to get out and about more going for walk and taking my 4 kids to the park.

I hope to update often with what I’ve eaten and what I’ve done for excercise, plus any other thoughts as they pertain to my diet.
