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! 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.
