Well, I changed the name and day of my weigh-in’s. I realized last week that I was supposed to be weighing in on Friday’s for Jillian’s program so here we are two days later. I have been doing really well in regards to what I am eating. I no longer crave carbs, which is huge because at one point in my life I could solely live off of them. I have also cut out real butter, which is another huge feat in itself because I love butter like Paula Deen love’s bacon. I even went shopping for me the other day and braved myself to take a chance to try on jeans. I got a size 11 on, which was great, but I couldn’t button them up. I wasn’t upset, just happy that this number wasn’t a size 16. It also means that with an additional ten pounds I will be in my pre–preggo jeans. I attempted putting on my size 28 Hudson’s but my thighs are still a little big, but with hope and a lot of hard work I plan on getting back into these in the next month. I have reached a point where the saying, “it took nine months to get your body where it is, so don’t expect miracles overnight” finally sunk in. FINALLY. I also think that seeing the previews for Kendra’s new season turned on a light bulb. I will probably write about the show after seeing it Sunday night, but I have a feeling that what Kendra experiences in that episode is how I am feeling.
Okay, this weeks numbers:
Weight: 162 : down one pound from last week. Total weight loss: 8 pounds
BMI: 26.15 : down slightly from last week (26.22)
Next week I will have measurements to start tracking.
and. . . for your viewing pleasure of my flab, here are two pictures. The first one is of me on Christmas Day, seven days after I gave birth. The second was taken today. There is clearly a huge difference, but still a whole lotta work ahead!
excuse my messy EVERYTHING! I got out of the shower to a screaming baby and thought I’d snap a few pics while she was content watching cartoons.
WOW!! You look great!!!! So…you are doing jullian’s 30 day program? Do you recommend it? Doesn’t she have a Wii Fit “game”? My mom and I are going to work out on the Wii Fit…we’ll see how that goes…good luck…and congrats on your progress….
I don’t have her 30 day shred dvd, I am using her online program. I have considered getting the dvd though. I do have her wii game and I personally don’t like it. I think the better bet would be Jenny McCarthy’s “Your Shape”. I have only used it a few times but it seemed better.
And, thank you! I gotta step it up the next two weeks but that’s okay!
Good luck to you too.
You look great! What a HUGE difference!
As soon as I can get the girls on some sort of “routine” I am doing the 30DS. 🙂
you are beautiful, melissa!
You look great! Seriously 🙂 Just enjoy being a Momma right now. You are in no hurry at all. You already look wonderful! But I definitely know how it is when you don’t feel like you normally do (I kind of splurged after the wedding. oops) Good luck! Keep us updated.
Looking good!!!
You look GREAT!!! Keep up the good work!
