lose weight until I reach my goal weight and look as sexy as I know I am

I have been consistently at or below this weight for several weeks now but I’m still not going to call this complete as the loss can surely be attributed to my poor eating habits, stress and nerves. Plus, I’m getting ready to head back to the land of milk and honey…and cheese and pizza and tacos and rich pasta dishes with people who like to drink a cocktail with me! So there could be some weight changes coming up in the next month or two!

I hit 159. I’m in the 50’s!!

That means officially less than 20 lbs until I’m at pre-kids weight.
(ANY kids weight. Not that far to go for pre #3 weight.)

and then stopped, which is totally my fault. Today I went back on my diet, back to the gym, and finally busted out the Wii Fit the hubs got me for mothers day.

The Wii Fit is awesome!! FUN. Much better than sitting on the couch watching TV.

Here’s hoping! I’d really like to be back into a size 8 soon.

I can’t call THIS goal done yet. Even though I probably ate more healthy the last half of last week than I have for weeks before that, yesterday was a free-for-all at our cookout/picnic. It was way worth it but it shows on the scale…

was 125…and that’s what the scale said this morning. Now, my scale is kind of jakey, but it’s what I’ve been weighing myself on for a year now so any postings on this goal since last spring came from that scale…
Funny, though, I feel like I would still like to lose more… We’ll see if I can stay around this goal weight for a little while first!

my, my, is progress ever slow. I really need to start using my gym membership beyond once every 2 weeks.

the 60’s! the 60’s!
I think it helped a bit that we moved baby #3 to the 4th bedroom finally, which is on the 4th floor of the house. (House is very strange split level. With the (unfinished) basement, we have 5 floors. Lots of stairs.)

So if I am in the family room, and baby starts crying, I am walking up 3 flights of stairs. At night, it’s still one flight. Not a small flight either.. 10 steps.

So this means 15 lbs to pre baby #3 weight, and 29 lbs until pre kids weight. Considering I came home from the hospital weighing in at a whopping 198, this is awesome progress.

Next short term goal is 165.

Looking forward to wearing real jeans!

This is slooooow going. It would help if I could stop eating the Girl Scout cookies. My short term goal is to hit the 60’s.

I gained 2 pounds. Two little pounds but they put me back over 130 and I didn’t like that. I realized I was treating myself too much with 6 or 8 little pieces of candy after lunch instead of just one and too many dry, bland cookies and cakes at stupid Starbucks. Those are so not worth it! Also, more soda than I used to drink. It was becoming regular again instead of a treat as it should be.

So anyway, the 2 pounds are gone again but it made me see how easy it would be to really hit this goal, finally. If I can go back down those 2 pounds, can’t I drop the final 4 just as easily?

this morning, and that’s with a big splint on my broken arm. yep, 3.5 weeks post partum and i broke my arm. the gym, unfortunately, will have to wait.
