With another Friday down that means another weigh-in. I have been pretty conscience
about what I am consuming even with returning to work this week I was a little hesitant about giving into cravings. I am the General Manager of a restaurant after all! I will say that I did very well while at work, only eating there once ordering a half Cobb salad, not bad, right? With my Mom being here, I wanted to go out for dinner, I was not about to make dinner after my emotional first two days back. The first day we all went to Pei Wei because I had a craving for their lettuce wraps and pad Thai. . .so yummy! Tuesday my Momma wanted to go to Claim Jumper so of course we did and I gave into yet another craving and had a Frisco burger, oh what?! Yes! I sure did. Basically, what all this alludes to is that I am a HUGE emotional eater, so I wasn’t expecting to lose any weight, but guess what? I DID! And 1.8 pounds at that. I was shocked. I literally let out a yelp when I saw that I am now under 160 pounds {pats self on back}. This brings my total weight loss to 40 pounds. I know some of that was baby and all that goes with carry a baby but who cares, I was after all 199 pounds when I gave birth and now I weigh 159. I only have 12 pounds to go to get to my first preggo appointment weight. YAY! I know I can do this, and I have been. With life as hectic as it is being a mom, a wife, and a daughter demands are high but somehow I have managed to get this far. I am more motivated today than ever to get to my first goal weight of 147.
Tonight I am heading to my first spin class with my friend Jinger. I am really excited because we live minutes a part but I have only seen her while doing a wig pub crawl or Vegas trips. She has two other ladies coming, one who has a three-month-old, which makes me happy to meet other mommy’s who live close. God knows I need more mommy friends close to me.
Here is what I ate this week (if you care) You might gasp when you see what I ate, I know it’s not that great, but let’s be real here. I also make sure to drink plenty of water and I am happy to report I have not had any soda or carbonated beverages in over 7 weeks
