OK, I know I just posted last night, but this morning I weighed in, and I have lost TWO MORE POUNDS. I am really happy about that. I have lost 5 pounds so far, and 10 pounds since Wyatt was born. I am one pound less than when I got pregnant with Wyatt. It might not sound like a lot, but check out this pic:

Anyway, I'll take this moment to share some personal info. Before I got pregnant with Wyatt, I had gained a lot of weight, like I described in my my previous post,
"The Skinny on Me Getting 'Skinny'", I gained 35 pounds since the time I got married. What I didn't explain, was that I actually lost 25 of those pounds before I got pregnant. Unfortunately, my first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage after only 6 weeks. I gained 10 pounds while I was pregnant and didn't lose it before I got pregnant with Wyatt. So that is why my "pre-Wyatt weight" is still 20+ pounds away from my goal. When I got pregnant the first time, I was 10 pounds away from my goal, then I gained 10 pounds....so yeah.
Anyway, this week felt really tough, with my two bad runs, and working 6 shifts in 7 days...4 of those overnights, I didn't think I would get 'er done. BUT....I still managed to get my 3 runs in, and ended up having one of my best runs so far. AND I lost two pounds. If I can get all that done in a week when I'm working 6 of 7 days, I can do A LOT more this week when I'm only working 2 days! YAY!
Jeeze pony, you made me realize work is an excuse eh! You have plenty more reasons to be tired than me... Question...are you drinking soda?
ReplyDeleteRita I still drink diet coke but I'm trying to cut back on that because it's really bad for you too! Artificial sweeteners are almost worse than all the sugar in regular soda! Anyway, I haven't had regular soda in years, but it's hard to give up the diet. I'm making so many changes at once that I have to cut some things out gradually!
