It’s hot and I don’t want to get sweaty (er). That’s not a good excuse is it? Alright, alright…off I go. Elliptical here I come, but only for 30 minutes you got that?

Here I am! I had an interesting week last week. A couple of things happened (the nicest being that we took in a stray kitten). I got a little sidetracked, but didn’t gain any weight, PTL! We didn’t have (and still don’t) have the right groceries so my eating wasn’t on point. That will change this week. We’ll be doing the groceries soon, so I can stock up on healthy foods and start eating at home as opposed to eating out so much…

As for working out, I have to get back on track with that as well. I plan to do a half hour on the elliptical this afternoon during the baby’s naptime.

As for weaning - that’s not going to happen anytime soon. I’ll just have to continue nursing and trying to lose at the same time. I just can’t sacrifice his health for my desire to lose weight. It’s not like I’m carrying around my pregnancy weight still - I’m happy to have lost that…so these last 8 pounds will have to come off slowly but surely. I’m aiming for 1-2 pounds per week. Let’s see how it goes!!! Most of my old clothes are size 4 and are still snug, I’ve been buying 6’s lately and find that I look okay in it. I’m not giving up though…I’m just deciding to do this in a very controlled and reasonable way. I want to be a comfortable 4-6. And I don’t want to obsess about weight. I just want to look and feel my best.

Hope you all have an AWESOME week!!!

Yay!!! I’m 130 pounds!!! I’ve really buckled down and I’m being almost religious about my Turbo Jam workouts. Finally it is paying off! My waist is cinching in, and my arms and legs are getting so toned.

I still haven’t weaned my son, but probably will soon though. I really want to step up my program but, will need to wean beforehand.

Yay me!

I am still fighting the fight though! I’ve just been going through a lengthy plateau. I am sorry to say this, but I blame breastfeeding for my plateau. My little man is almost 9 months old and while I’ve lost most of the pregnancy weight, I just can’t get below 132.4!!! Oh well, at least I’m not gaining…

I’m really starting to seriously consider weaning, though it breaks my heart, I’m anxious to get on with progress already. I just want to lose 10 more pounds!!!

I promise to update again tomorrow. Maybe I can get some good tips and motivation from some buddies.
