Week 12

No exciting news this week : ( I gained a pound. Looks like chocolate won again!
I weigh in on wii fit and I was mad when I saw a gained 1 pound... re-weigh! Still the same. SO I started thinking back, what happened this week?? Well there was that pastry, stress, 2 days less at the gym.. etc.
So when I track my weight I looked at the table of my results and I saw that I only gained weight every 4th week. I loose for three weeks and gain a pound the fourth week. This happens three times and its always the same. Ok, I'll let myself off the hook this week and be more kind to myself!
Ughhh this next coming week... I love Easter for the resees eggs, peeps- MMM!!, and the solid milk chocolate bunnies! Peeps are my weakness- don't know why but I love that sugar coating!
I decided to have a talk with the Easter Bunny ahead of time and want to stuff my own basket to prevent those peeps from coming around.
An order of Zumba Toning sticks came in to the gym so I picked some up to put them in my basket. That means that Tara your sticks are safe now! : )
I of course got a little bit of reeses too, you have to have SOME chocolate in the basket.
Well, have a great week everyone! And don't get sucked in by that deliciously tempting huge solid milk chocolate bunny!

Week 11

This last week I lost 1.8 pounds! Yay! I am up to 27.5 pounds now : )
I took a yoga pilates class this last week. I thought it was going to be a relaxing "candles and roses" experience but it was hard and it hurt! I was sore for a few days.
Because I hit my 25 pound milestone last week I got to go and get my toes done! Friday my friend Natalie and I went to get pampered at Queen's Nails.
What should I do for my next Milestone I hit?

Week 10 Goal reached!

Hey everybody! I am so excited! As of today I have lost 25.5 pounds!!! YAY! This week I lost 2.5 pounds! The sad part though was I lost another point for WW.
So I decided I should finally post what my weight is- its pretty bad. I started my weight loss journey this January and I weighed 260. Today I am 234.5! So less than ten pounds to get to my pre-pregnancy weight! I have been hemming and hawing about what weight I would be happy with maintaining and for now my goal is 180 pounds. That's an 80 pound difference!! And lighter than I have ever been! It would be nice to say 150 but for some reason that extra 30 pounds just makes it seem so far in the distance and so undo-able.
So today I am going to celebrate my 25 pounds and party even harder when the next ten pounds melt off!

Week 9

Last week I worked my butt off! And it payed off! I lost another two pounds. I am now down 23 pounds!
I let myself have a cheat weekend because I went to a Mom's of Multiples convention from Friday to Sunday. I didn't count points- it was really hard to stop concentrating on ok, Soo Starbucks tiny hot coco is 4 so this venti is like..8 or so? Add the muffin for breakfast, dang this sucks. And Etc. But After I saw my friend had a bag of chocolate in her hotel room all thought of adding points were quickly abandoned! I wore a pedometer throughout the weekend and mad sure to walk 20,000 steps during the day to allow the binges. On Monday morning I weighed myself and I didn't gain a thing! Wahoo!
I have been noticing that I am really losing weight when I look into the mirror- especially at the gym when I workout in a room full of mirrors. It feels amazing! And I am about to go down another pant size! It makes me so excited that I will soon be down 3 pants sizes!
I took a picture last week and I was amazed that my face looks thinner and I finally wasn't ashamed to post a picture of myself on Facebook. If you are my friend on FB, which you probably are so most of my stuff is repeats on my blogs, you can see that 80% of my pictures are of the kids. And I will post it here too so you can see it again! I think I might frame it because I am so proud that I am getting confidence back.
