Weigh-in #5

Another week down!! 

I pretty much kicked this week's ass! Well...kind of. 

Monday and Tuesday I completed another two days on the C25K app. 

Wednesday I was a little sore from running two days in a row so I went on a one mile walk with my hubby and kiddos. 

Thursday I did T25 (cooled off after with the ice bucket challenge) and went on a little over a mile walk with my friend Allie. 

Friday Allie and I went for another walk which was a mile and a half. Once we were finished with our walk I went on another run (C25K). 

Yesterday I didn't workout and instead I had a girls night out! We went out to a nice dinner (shared two bottles of wine) and then enjoyed a few more drinks down the road at a little brewery. I can't remember the last time I have been out on the town and I have not had more than 2 drinks since before I was pregnant with Peyton. Lets just say this morning I was paying for my night out. Mommy had a little too much to drink! Thank God I have an amazing husband (it was his idea that I have a night out without the kids)! He not only watched the kids while I went out but this morning when mommy wasn't feeling great he took care of everyone and made breakfast! 

I haven't worked out today and I'm not sure if I will be going for a walk or a run. I'm still trying to hydrate after last nights shenanigans! 

Breastfeeding update again...(for those who care) pretty sure these high intensity workouts are killing my milk supply. I was only taking fenugreek once a day and now I'm taking it twice a day. We started feeding Peyton a bottle from my stash in the freezer (which is going bye bye pretty quick) at night before bed and she seems to sleep longer. I have made it 7 months today and I truly am not ready to stop breastfeeding. My goal is a year and I am going to try everything I can to keep going! 

I have had so many people message me, text me or comment on Facebook about how I am inspiring them to get up and get moving. That is honestly why I am doing this whole blog thing. If you haven't read any of my blogs until now...I am blogging about my weight loss journey so others can see how I am accomplishing my goals. I don't want to be like everyone else who posts before and after pictures once I have lost all of the weight. I appreciate everyone who writes me telling me how great I am doing! It makes me want to work harder! The thing that I love the most is that one of my best friends have cut out soda, started eating healthier and working out also...she sent me her before pictures next to her 3 week mark pictures yesterday. Let me tell you...THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE ALREADY! I am so proud of her and everyone else who is trying to make themselves better. Keep messaging me with your progress! I love hearing about it and if you need any help or advice (remember I'm not an expert or anything) let me know!

I honestly don't have much more to write about today and this blog is taking longer than it usually takes me (thanks to my kiddos) so here we go.

Last week I weighed 227.4 and today I weigh...

224.2lbs!

GO ME!! 

I lost 3.2lbs this week which is the most I have lost since my first weigh-in. Altogether I have now lost 16.4lbs! I have been doing this for 5 weeks now and I only have 54.2lbs to lose! I am seriously starting to love my body and the person I have become in the past 5 weeks. I am gaining more confidence everyday and when I look in the mirror I'm not disgusted at what I see. I walked around my house the other night in a sports bra and yoga pants...umm I haven't felt comfortable enough to do that since before my pregnancy. You would think I would feel comfortable in my own house wearing whatever I wanted but I was always to self-conscious and didn't want my husband looking at my fat or thinking "Eww look at her!".

I think I need a "prize" or some kind of "reward" when I finally get out of the 200's...any suggestions!? Let me know what you think it should be! 

ONE LAST THOUGHT

Keep up the hard work! You are not going to get to your goal weight or get the final results you want overnight. It takes time. It takes hard work and dedication. If you put in the work and change your lifestyle I can promise you...you will start to see results! Slowly but surely! Push yourself to be the best you can be!

Losing it!
