Get the Weight off Wednesday

Week 1

This past week wasn't so bad.

I got the all clear from my doc and can workout. I have been reading about working out and breast feeding, you know...the do's and don'ts...and it's great that I can't exactly restrict my calories, I need about 1800 a day, sweet! But I know that it can't be on junk. DUH!

But it's nice that I can eat some junk--in moderation :) 

I made pretzels last night. and ate some. made salted ones and cinnamon and sugar. they are kind of not so good the next day....weird.

ok....So I decided to actually post my weight. UGH!!

hahahaha. I don't care. 

I just had a baby. and I have weight to lose.

{yes, i'm fat}

But that's the whole point of these posts!!!!

I'm not going to sit there on the couch and complain about it.....I'm going to do something about it.

I understand that I'm not one of the genetically lucky ones that gain only 20 lbs or less during their pregnancy, or walk home in regular jeans, or that lose the weight they gained within the first 6 weeks post-partum. nope. not me. I only lost about 10-15 from the birth! I also don't lose weight from breastfeeding alone. nope. sorry. it doesn't make me stick thin. kind of sucky...but then, I saw this:

we are a different breed.
we think differently, we act differently.
and there is nothing wrong with it.
we are humans, we are all different.
we are supposed to be.

SO...


Weigh-in:
{Don't judge me}


my initial weight: 160 lbs
goal: 125 lbs/lose 35 lb
weight last week: 160 lbs
weight today: 154.8 lbs
Total loss: 5.2 lbs
left to goal: 29.8 lbs


Okay, So this might not be entirely accurate since I initially weighed myself in the late afternoon, after I had already eaten lunch. And I was wearing clothes. Plus, I still have swelling that I need to get rid of. from here on out I will do it first thing in the am, naked-ish.
I know it will be a slow weight loss, that's ok. that's what you are supposed to be doing.
fun fact: you will have an extra 3 lbs of breast tissue if you are nursing!


This week's workouts:

Thursday: Elliptical 46 min
Friday:
Saturday:
Sunday:
Monday: P90X day 1 Chest & Back 53 min, AB ripperX 16 min, Circuit training at BYU 60 min

How do I feel?
sore as heck!! seriously! I can barely sit down on the toilet. my legs won't bend that much.
maybe I did too much on Monday, since I also went to train with friends from church. But....I haven't done so much in so long, it didn't really matter....I was going to be sore.
I like that feeling. lets you know you did something.
I am sleeping deeper, harder than before....but that also means that when I have to get up to nurse miss R, I am nodding off during. but so is she, so whatevs.
I missed Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. oops. I'm sure I did other activities to make up for it. but it wasn't an actual workout.

Next week: 
Everyday will be filled {even if it's just to stretch-cuz you still need to warm up to do that!}

It's sunny outside and I just want to go lay out. oh how I wish I could....
but there is a baby waiting to be fed and a 3-year old who needs a friend :)
