10/25 Weigh In Week 8

Loss for the week: +.8 lbs.

Starting weight: 208.4 lbs
Current weight:187.2 lbs.
Total loss to date: 21.2 lbs.

Not much to say for myself, except I began to fall off the wagon a little bit. We were very busy and had a bunch of parties this weekend so I just went with it. I did excellent on my exercising this past week though. I even added an additional 60 min. on Friday for a full 2 hour workout. There were a few extra walks with the family as well. I'm trying not to let it get to me too much since I know this week might not be awesome either. We are traveling mid week to visit family for a few days so I'll try to keep within reason as best as I can. I'll be back to losing in no time I'm sure of it!

10/18 Weigh In Week 7

Loss for the week: 3.2 lbs.

Starting weight: 208.4 lbs
Current weight:186.4 lbs.
Total loss to date: 22 lbs.

I can't believe I'm still maintaining an over 3 lb/week rate! I've been getting much worse about sticking to my calories. I've cheated more times that I care to count this week. I did try to make up for some of it buy adding an additional 40 min. to my workout on Thurs. I'll just keeping taking it one day at a time and not beat myself up about it too much. My husband on the other hand has reached his goal this week. He set out to lose 15 lbs. at the same time I started my weight loss and he's there! I asked him yesterday what his plan was going forward and he said he wouldn't mind getting down another 5 lbs. so I guess he's going to stick with me a little longer on this journey. I can't wait for the day when I weigh less than him(the way it should be)!

10/11 Weigh In Week 6

Loss for the week: 1.8 lbs.

Starting weight: 208.4 lbs
Current weight:189.6 lbs.
Total loss to date: 18.8 lbs.

So things are starting to slow down just a little bit. I looked back at that last time I lost weight(after baby #3) and it's odd how my numbers are following the same pattern. The fall weather we've been having is just beautiful so hopefully I can get out as much as possible this week to walk and have that extra exercise add to things. This morning I did 30 Day Shred level 1, 20 min. on the elliptical, 30 Day Shred level 2, 15 min. on the elliptical. I did a little more of an intense workout this morning since it was my birthday yesterday so I splurged a little on my diet. A friend of mine just gave me a few pairs of jeans and dress pants and I tried them on last night and could just barely button and zip them. I'm hoping in a few weeks they will fit. That'll be fun to try them on again in a month or so and see how I'm progressing. The oldest three spend the night at Grandma's house so it's just me and baby E for another hour. I've got a big stack of coupons to clip and need to get ready for a playdate later this morning!

Happy Birthday To Me!

It's 10/10/10 and it's my 28th birthday!!! I'm letting myself splurge a little in the eating department so hopefully that doesn't affect my weigh in tomorrow too much. I'll still be taking a few walks today but I'll also be going out to eat at BD's Mongolian Grill, yum yum! The Cheesecake Factory is a five minute walk from there so I may end up getting a slice for dessert as well. I was pretty happy with my number yesterday so hopefully I'll still have a decent number to report tomorrow.

Starting weight: 208.4 lbs
Current weight:191.4 lbs.
Total loss to date: 17 lbs.

I've got a head cold so I'm not feeling so great. Yesterday the whole right side of my face was leaky and my eye was so red and puffy. Today I've got the sinus pressure. I'm happy with my number for this week and hoping that I'll get to say goodbye to the 190's and be in the 180's for next week's weigh in.
