weigh in 2: January 18

Down another 2.5 pounds!

So far all I've really done is up my protein intake and try to increase my water.  I'll typically have a protein shake (1.5-2 scoops of powder and 8 oz of 2% milk for a total of about 58g of protein!!) for breakfast.  Most days of the week I'll try to get a protein bar in, too, for another 30g of protein, plus nuts, cheese, and chicken mixed in throughout the day.

I'm really going to focus on 64oz of water this week perhaps brush off the old Weight Watchers stuff.  While I am super happy with my results so far, I haven't pulled down a big week yet.  I'd love to hit 4 pounds by next Saturday to get out of the 230's.

Down 3 pounds:

Back At It

We meet again.

I'm up 10 pounds in 6 months.  Not good, but it could have been worse.  I'm still down 12 for the year. Not even remotely close to what I wanted to do.  At all.  So, I'm going to give it another whirl.

My first goals are to drink a minimum of 64 ounces of water each day and to eat (at least) one serving of nuts to start building up my protein intake, per my Reproductive Endocrinologist's direction.

It's Wednesday, a weird day to start anything in my opinion, but January 1st is a blank slate so that's why today's the day.  My normal check in day will likely be Saturday or Sunday.  By this first weigh in, I'd be happy with a 1-2 pound loss.  And next week - my first full week to push for a big bopper!

some pretty toes, finally

I finally went and got a pedicure yesterday.  =)  Another strong week, down 1.5, and... 25 pounds gone total!!!  Happy birthday, to me!

another one bites the dust

One more pound gone!

I'll be calling tomorrow to schedule that pedicure.  =)

Woo-hoo!!! I did it (plus some)!

I lost 3 pounds this week!!!  22.5 total.  228.5 currently.  Half a pound below my goal, pre-pregnancy weight.  I feel fantastic.  =)  I'll be scheduling my (much needed, much deserved) pedicure this week.  

Next stop... 215.  

still a loser

I'm down another 2 pounds this week!  I was hoping for 2.5 so I would hit the 20 pound mark, but fell short.  Hopefully this week everything falls into place.   And I'm closing in on my first major goal of 229, pre-baby weight.  Once I get there, I'm going for a pedicure.  So excited!!!
