Weigh-in #3

Here we are again...
It's Sunday and that means its time to weigh-in. But first here is a little bit about what went on this week.

I have had no time to blog this past week thanks to my kiddos!! Every time I sat down to try and get one done Cooper wanted juice, Peyton needed to eat or Cooper needed help in the bathroom. (Oh the life of a stay at home mom!) I also had a cheat meal (CHIPOTLE...OH MY GOODNESS I WAS IN HEAVEN) and I feel like maybe that wasn't a good decision and couldn't stop thinking about how it was going to effect my weigh-in. On my "off" day my hubby and I took the kids on a walk around the neighborhood. When we started walking it was sunny and nice out...then all of a sudden it started pouring rain! We were soaked when we finally made it home! Dang North Carolina weather!

I completed T25 Moday, C25K Tuesday, walked a mile on Wednesday, T25 Thursday then took Friday and Saturday off. I didn't want to take both days off but we had other plans that got in the way. I'm a little disappointed in myself because I haven't been completing the weeks on time with the C25K app...but I'm hoping I can get on track and complete it 3 days a week. I really need to purchase a double jogging stroller since I have a single one and can only take one kid with me when I go running. If I did that I wouldn't have to wait for my hubby to get home from work to watch one of the kids.

Milk supply update...(for those who care) I started to take Fenugreek and try to get my supply back to where it was before I cut my calories. Well from what I can tell its working. Peyton seems to be full after nursing and she's eating for longer periods of time now. THANK GOODNESS! My goal is to breastfeed for a year and I'm almost to 7 months!!

Ok time to tell you about the weigh-in...

Last week I weighed 230.0 lbs...today I weighed...

229.0lbs...

When I saw it I tried to just remember that losing weight takes time and the harder I work the more results I will have.  

This is soooooo true!!

 At this rate I'm losing a pound (last week almost two) a week so if I do that every week I will lose 52 pounds by next year at this time! That would be awesome and I would be right around my goal weight. 

I just have to keep reminding myself that this journey I am on is NOT an easy one AT ALL! There are so many temptations whenever I leave my house (so I've been trying to stay home when it's time for me to eat one of my prepped meals) everywhere I go...the gas station, the grocery store, a friend's house and yummy restaurants. There are also many excuses I could use to just quit and give in to those temptations...but I will not quit. I want to lose weight more than I want a candy bar (Reese Cup), a soda (Diet Mountain Dew) or anything thats horrible for me!

If you are serious about losing weight...MEAL PREP! I promise you it will be so much easier to make healthy choices if everything is already prepared and ready to go when you start your day. Chasing two kids around, cleaning the house, doing the laundry, taking care of two dogs, potty training, breastfeeding and everything else I do on a daily basis really doesn't give me much time to think about myself and what I need. Meal prepping on the weekend allows me to eat healthy everyday. All I do is grab a meal and pop it in the microwave for a minute then eat while the kids are eating. 

ONE LAST THOUGHT

Slow progress is better than no progress!! Sometimes during my T25 workouts I have to follow what the chick on the side is doing (the moderate pace workout lady) and I know this is ok because I am trying my hardest. Trying my hardest and pushing myself to do the best that I can will get me to where I need to be. 

Losing it...
