week 1 check in

I'm checking in with much satisfaction. Before the holidays (Christmas and new years), I'd gotten down to 194. After, I was at my starting weight of this blog, 196. So I gained 2 lbs over the holidays, can't complain. My goal for the past week was to lose those 2 lbs and an extra as a bonus and in hopes that those 2 lbs were mostly water weight. Well, voila:

this weeks weight : 193! i lost 3 lbs. I really needed that. It has given me a boost of motivation. I'm very relieved because of the free day I had on Friday.

On Sunday, I tried on 2 skirts. One was size 14 and the other size 12 but a "stretch" material and i was able to comfortably zip them up. But because of the jiggly tummy, it created a funny looking roll so I didn't wear them. But it was still nice to have them fit.
I ripped my maternity pants and had to buy "fat pants" when Charlotte was 3 weeks. They are size 16!!! But now they are just too big and are far from being flattering. My regular pants are still not comfortable enough to wear. Maybe after another 3-5 lbs.

I've decided to make weekly goals because when I think of the BIG goal, it's too overwhelming.


This weeks goal: lose 1 lbs and workout twice a day at least 3 days this week.


I'm also changing my weigh in day to Friday. It's hard to make Sunday a good eating day. So this week will be short.


any of you have weight loss goals that your working on? How are things going with it? Good luck!
