Weigh In Wednesday/Body After Baby Challenge
I have been weighing in (well talking about my weight loss journey-- I must confess I haven't actually stepped on a scale in a while) every Wednesday with Chrissy @ Life as a "CEO" -- But I have also through Google Reader been following along with the Body After Baby Challenge @ Mama Notes.While looking through my Google Reader-- I came across another meme on this topic...since I could use all the support I can get I thought I would throw this one in too...
Amber @ aefilkins (you know from Friend Makin Monday) is doing a Extreme Makeover: Me Edition...she posts a question every week (except this one) ... So I will just leave my post as is...
I have been trying to understand why I am having such a hard time getting started on losing my extra weight...but I think that this week I have finally figured it out. I will be just fine if this is the size that I am for the rest of my life. I will never be a size 3 again...ever...my hips will never be that slim again-- since 4 kids have made their way through them. In the past 6-9 months I have lost 41 pounds...and while I would love to lose another 15-20 ish...I will be ok if I don't...so I am going to stop beating myself up every week and just do some things that I know will be more healthy for me....and if I do drop some of this weight -- GREAT -- But if not...it's ok.
Week 1 of the Body After Baby Challenge -- was to drink more water! I have certainly been doing that this week. I have been drinking coffee in the morning and then when I get to work I make an ice water with 3 lemons...I have been going through 2 -3 of these a shift ( 3 1/2 hours)
At Lunch is when I get into trouble...I love Mexican Food...I love Nachos, Enchiladas, and Sanchos!! This is usually what I have for lunch -- Plus chips/salsa/guac -- I am going to have a grilled chicken breast with a side salad and guac...for 2 of the remaining days and on the other I am going to have a taco and small side of rice....No more Chips and salsa :( LOL.
On to Week 2-- How much can you walk? or Run? I am going to walk home from work ... about 8 blocks (I think) (man now I am hoping that it is not further) every day that it is not raining!!
