I was able to get on the elliptical in the morning before it got super hot. It was 80 degrees outside already, but that is much better then the mid 90s it was today. I was pouring sweat but it felt so good to get it done with. I did awesome with my diet today too. The next few days is suppose to be even hotter. I hope I'm still able to work out in the heat. I think if I put a fan on me during my workout I should be fine!!

New Weigh-In Day

I've decided to weigh in on Sundays. I like to weigh in on a day that I have worked out the day before. It will also hopefully keep me accountable for doing my Saturday workout. It's usually pretty easy for me to talk myself out of working out on Saturday. Today was my first Sunday weigh in. -2. I suppose that is what it going to be from now on. I have to be ok with it. It's not terrible, but I just love to see -5. This week I am going to start entering my daily diet as well (starting Monday). Really keep me accountable. It's also suppose to be 90+ degrees all week, so I'm hoping to either get my work out in the early morning or late at night. I refuse to talk myself out of it, even in the heat. Maybe I'll even burn more calories ;) Oh and I have met my birthday goal a week early. Only 1 more pound to my pre-pregnancy weight!!

REALLY slow and steady!

I don't know why I'm not happy with a -2 weight loss. I know I should be, but I just want to lose this blasted weight! I only have 1 more pound to lose to reach my birthday goal of -25 pounds, and my birthday is in two weeks. I'm totally going to step it up this week. I've been bad lately about having a bite of the kids food after they are done with it. I don't know what is with that. I just lose my mind! So -2 is good. Derek said if I lose 2 pounds a week till my brother comes home then I will be at my goal. So I am on the right track!

Slow and Steady

-2. I guess that's good, but I like to see 3 or more. I really shouldn't be greedy. I worked out 6 days this week and half way through the week I went from a level 7 to an 8 on the elliptical. Doing that for an hour it said I burned 900 calories. I love it! I suppose that is why I thought I would lose more. ANYWAY, I'm only 3 pounds away from the birthday goal, and my birthday is in 3 weeks. I think I'm on the right track!!

-20!

I can't believe I actually lost weight this week!!! I'll take the -1 pound proudly. It got me down to -20 pounds since Memorial Day. I felt really good today. I stuck to my points and even got my work out in while the little ones napped. I thought I'd give you a picture of me at my 20 pound mark. I'm looking forward to another 20 pounds gone!

I personally like the potty chair in the background!

Blah

What a crappy week. I really thought going into it I was going to be strong. But with my sister having the week off and Derek going out of town over the 4th, I totally blew it. Not bad blew it, just sort of blew it. Like first of all, I only worked out twice. How lame is that??? I didn't do terrible on my diet until yesterday. I had a HUGE cupcake from Costco. I have never been so sick in my entire life. I fell sleep with the worst sugar high. Gross. Not worth it at all. So I got back on it today and I've done really well. I would like to work out, but it being Sunday I really didn't want to do that. We'll see. So, I'm nervous to weigh in tomorrow. I'm not expecting a loss at all, but I'm hoping to stay even. Then I have to get on track with working out. I did squeeze into my pre-pregnancy jeans this week which is a huge accomplishment for me. I'm still a few pounds away from pre-pregnancy weight, but I'm really close. I'm thinking about posting my food this week too, to keep me accountable.
