Weekly weigh in: week 21

I gained .8 lbs today which took away my 20 lbs.  I was already expecting a gain since it's shark week and honestly, I'm glad it's not even a pound.  Hopefully I'll get it back off next week. 

2013 Pumpkin Pacer 5k

Lyndsey and I participated in the Pumpkin Pacer again this year.  We went on a costume cruise last night and I had more beers than I had planned.  So needless to say, I was thankful that we were walking instead of running.  It was chilly in a skirt but once we got moving it wasn't bad.  Kyleigh joined us too and did a great job.  It was nice to get out there and walk with one of my besties!!

I look horrible in that type of glasses!

We found another Waldo!

Weekly Weigh In: Week 20

Well, I did it!!!!  I lost 1 lb and hit my 20 lbs like I was hoping for!  I was so relieved!  So I hit 20 lbs in week 20.  I'll take it!!!!

I switched my weigh in days to Thursday and it screwed up my app somehow.  I didn't miss any weigh ins even though it says I did. 

Goodbye 20 lbs! 

 

Next goal: lose 3.6 more lbs to hit my 10%

Transformation Tuesday

May 2013

It's not a huge difference but I can definitely see it in my face.  My clothes fit better and I feel better.  I wish I had taken a full body shot before starting WW.  maybe I did?  I'll have to take a peek.

I am not posting this to brag or boast.  I am starting to feel discouraged and I'm hoping this will help.  I have the above picture on my fridge as a constant reminder.  It was a rushed morning and I didn't feel like I looked good but my goodness, I look old and icky!  I do not want to go back there again!

This one is a little more noticeable, I think.

Weekly Weigh In: Week 19

I weighed in this morning at 220.4 which is a .4lb gain.  I'm not all bent out of shape about it but was hoping to hit my 20 lb loss.  Oh well, hopefully I'll get it next week.  I've got to figure something out because MY HUSBAND IS HOME!  He's been working in Texas for the last 4 weeks.  I'm glad to have him home but also nervous.  Wish me luck for next week!

Not looking back

We have all been sick for about a week now so I'm not sure how the scale is going to go on Thursday.  But I was looking at old pictures and what I do know is that I'll NEVER be this weight again!  I know I am 5 months postpartum but still!  Some days it doesn't seem like I've lost almost 20 lbs but looking at pictures like these make me realize that I have come a long away so far (but have another long way to go).

Look how little my babies were!  :*(

Upped activity

Last week was pure craziness!  There was one up side to it though, I upped my activity!  5 out of 7 days I had over 10k steps! 

Weekly Weigh in: week 18

I weighed in yesterday morning because I knew I was going to dinner and drinks with friends last night.  The scale was the lowest I've seen in a while so I was hoping it would reflect at WW too. 

Sure enough, it did!  I lost 2.4 lbs!  I was excited!  I was thrilled to be back on the losing scale but also bummed because I missed my 20lbs by .2 this time.  Ugh!  I didn't let it get me down, I'm planning to get it next week.  ;)

I was bad yesterday, hardly any activity, drank 2 margaritas (yum!) and ate too many beans and chips.  I was careful all day though and drank lots of water and a  low point lunch to hopefully offset it.  And now I have another boy with a fever so I don't see much but cuddling going on today.  😕

Party in Pink Zumbathon

This morning my mom, Natosha and I participated in the Party in Pink Zumbathon.  This was my second year doing it and we had a blast!!!

Z had a fever last night so I wasn't as prepared  this morning since I was tending to him all day yesterday.  But we already have plans for dressing up next year. 

This year there were 29 instructors and some crazy ones!  I am so out of the Zumba loop but I didn't do too bad.  I love all the love and support that breast cancer awareness receives from this event.  Plus it was some great girl time!

Shake it UP Fitness crew

These tiny dancers did the cool down song, so cute!

2 hours of Zumba in the books!

Photo booth!

Afterwards we had lunch at Red Robin.  Did you know that you can omit the bun from a burger and have lettuce surrounding it instead?  It was good too!!!

Looking forward to next year!

Weekly Weigh In: Week 17

I maintained this week which wasn't too bad since it was shark week.  I'll get it next week!  ;)

Race is on

At Zack's xcountry practice I raced a friends son who's in 6th grade and won!  We ran for about 1/4 mile and it was neck and neck for most of it.  Those young kids have some fast little legs!  I didn't expect to beat him at all!  During my childhood I hated any running in PE, I'm not a fast runner now at all but it felt like an accomplishment!
