Week 13

180.8. a whole .2 lbs lost. I am having trouble getting out of the 180s. I seem to have plateaued on my weight loss and I know what I need to do to kick it up, but I am having trouble getting up the motivation. I got my hair cut today, first time in a little over a year. It feels nice and I think it looks pretty good. Its hard for me to spend that much on myself. I have had too many bad hair cuts from cheap supercuts type places so I went to a Salon that had good reviews online. I do like it and she cut quite a bit off. I'm half curious to see if there is any weight loss from it. lol. Its been awhile since I've had a good loss week so I'm getting a little frustrated with myself. I think I'm just frustrated in general. There has been a lot going on the past few weeks and I haven't been getting enough sleep which definitely doesn't help. My husband is having knee surgery soon, which will make things interesting around here. Please pray for his speedy recovery and for me to stay motivated. <3

week 12

181.0. So I'm loosing weight but not much. really you could say I'm maintaining. .4lbs is not a lot at all. But its better than gaining so I like that. I'm having trouble getting motivated to keep it up. I am really happy with how far I've come all ready, and I did work hard to get here. The lazy girl in me wants to say its enough, even though I know that its not. I still need to loose weight. Its ok to celebrate the weight loss I have had thus far, but I need to refocus my eyes on the prize and get to my goal, my short term one for this challenge and then my long term goal for my life. :)

week 11

181.4. so I'm down .6lbs from last week. I am still being sabotaged by eating out. I had pizza on Saturday for dinner, along with some yummy cup cakes and ice cream for my daughters fist birthday party. then we went out to eat last night. I really need to stop midweek weigh ins because they are boosting my confidence too much, and then I end up sabotaging myself because I'm overly confident. On Saturday I weighed in at 178. My weight has always fluctuated quite a bit throughout the week depending on how well I eat and what exercise I've done. I'm getting really tired of loosing the same few pounds. I need to be consistent all week, and apparently I need to not eat out because I do so much worse when we are out than when we eat at home. not to mention it saves money, which is is always a good thing. We are over the halfway mark on this challenge and I am well on my way to meeting my goal. I'm going to visit family next month and I am so excited to see everyone and watch my sister graduate college. It will be satisfying to show up back home at or below my pre pregnancy weight. :D woo hoo motivation!
