This week has been stressful for me. Stressful times in the Brown household right now. I've also learned that I'm an emotional eater. BUT since i realized it, I can easily control it. Oh, and we have no sweets in our house and I can't quite pinpoint what would be good at that moment. I'm always up for Costco cake or the chocolate mouse at The Roof restaurant!! When I first weighed myself, I thought "phew, at least I just maintained and didn't gain anything." But then when I looked back to last week, I actually lost!!
last week: 194.5
today: 193.5
This was great news and helped perk me up for the day.
I still have 3 months to train for the triathlon but I am nervous. I didn't think it would be tough to get back into shape after having a baby. I've never tried anything like this after my other pregnancies. I've been picking up my running pace which feels good to do but now my route can be finished in less than 30 minutes. And mentally, I like my steady state cardio to be at least 30 minutes. My plan for next Saturday (if it works with Ryan's schedule) is to go for a bike ride. I haven't done that since I was 22 weeks pregnant. And I'd also like to try and get in the pool and swim one day.
And this week I can't let myself get on the scale until Saturday morning. It just messes with my head too much when my weight fluctuates throughout the week. But I also like to know where I am, like if I need to eat more protein and less carbs or do more cardio. But for sanity's sake, no getting on the scale until I'm ready to check in.

good job courtney! you are making progress!
When you are feeling a sweet craving, try eating some prunes. No joke, they're chewy and sweet but still really good for you.
