Lori's Update

I was finally down today to 184 which is just a pound down but we had been eating out a lot and I was up a little. I'm glad it's down but sad that the weight isn't coming off quicker. I finally bought a pair of jeans this weekend b/c I literally cannot fit in any pants besides one pair of maternity pants (that don't have a panel or anything) and my workout pants. It was sad - I bought a 16 and before getting pg I was wearing an 8 or 10 depending on the brand. I don't know how other women seem to lose their baby weight so quickly and get back into their clothes right away. Right now I would give almost anything to be able to do that.

Anyway, as you can probably tell, I have a lot of negative things always bouncing around in my head. I'm trying to work on that but it's a struggle.

I've been faithful about going to kickboxing twice a week and this week is spring break for my mom so she's going to watch my kids twice more so I'll be able to go four times this week. The bad news is that Aaron leaves on Friday for a week and a half and my mom will be back in school, so unless I pay $9 (gulp!) for daycare EACH TIME I GO, I won't be going to the gym. I really wish the daycare was cheaper. I know I need to exercise to get the weight off and also I know it would be especially good for me while Aaron is gone to get a break, but seriously, $9? That's crazy talk.

Mallory's Weigh In

I had a little incident with some mint Oreos. I know better than to buy them but I did anyway. So yesterdays weight was 242.6 not up or down. Today's plan is to get my house in order and then the kids have an appointment. I was at Zumba last night and although it's still hard for me, now I know most of the steps and I feel good there. Today's plan drink water and track.

Cassa's update

I have been so crazy busy this past week.  I was down 2 pounds on my last weigh in bringing me to 189.  However....this weekend we went on a trip to see a dear friend.  I love her so much, but their eating is so out of control.  I don't judge her or try at all to suggest she live differently because this works for her.  But we ate so much crap.  My body didn't respond well to this at all.  So, I'm sure I am up but I had a fabulous time.  This week is spring break so my family is home but I am going to persistent that we stick to a good eating menu.  I am not going to be able to make it to the gym today because I have got to get my house in order this morning and I have a ton of lessons and rehearsals this afternoon.  But, I will eat right.

Mallory's Weigh In

I weighed this morning and I am down to 243.6 which isn't much better than yesterday but it seems better somehow. I weighed myself this morning and I am down 5 pounds in two weeks so that's ok.

Today's plan:

Stay within calorie goal of 1300
drink three bottles of water (96 oz)
do Zumba if Justin doesn't have a mtg.

I am so frustrated

So my last weigh in was two pounds lower than this morning's weight. Grrr. So now I am back up to 244.something. I didn't even look at the decimal because I was so upset. I thought I had been eating well, although I hadn't been tracking. So I guess that tracking is what I need to do. I weighed everything this morning and now I am drinking water. I did turn my body bugg back on so I am tracking on the bodybugg website which means putting all my foods in. At least the ones I had already put in are still there.

Carrie's Monday

I didn't weigh in this morning because after a week with my husband I know I'm up. So I'm starting over today. I do have to go in to my old job a couple of days this week so I hope that doesn't throw anything off. I'm hoping that stabilizing my diet will help Hanna sleep better. I think my breast milk has been making her unhappy. My goals this week are to get to the gym at least 3 times, drink 3 Nalgenes a day, and track my calories. Totally doable!

Monday Monday, dum dum, dum da dum dum

This morning I weighed in at 185.0. I'm super glad to see it continue to go down! Today I'm going back to kickboxing. It seriously kicked my butt on Thursday. I mean, I expected it to, but not as much as it did. At one point I started to get lightheaded and had to really slow down. Ah well. It'll get better... hopefully it'll start to get better today. :)
