Week 4

This week: down 1.5 lbs
Total: down 8 lbs

I had a good week and the scale showed it! I have been back on WW for a month now, and I am down 8 pounds, and I am thrilled with that. This coming week, I have a work function on Friday that includes lunch and dinner, so I'm going to save all my extra 35 points for Friday. Then, next weekend, I'll be at the cottage with nej and lj, but luckily my points reset on Saturday, so I'll use my extra 35 points for that week on the weekend.

Julie is WALKING!

Julie took her first steps on Sunday afternoon. It was just a special moment, and I am so glad she decided to take her first steps when both Carlos and I were right there! Good timing! I would have been so sad if I had missed it!

We bought her some mega blocks (lego for babies) and were building a tower. I stood Julie up a few feet away, and she walked right to the tower! She did this several times in a row. I right away called my mom, and came right down with my dad and Oma to witness it first hand. We got out the video camera and took some video as well as a few pictures of this momentus occasion.

She is so adorable. The look on her face when she realized she was walking on her own was priceless. She was SO PROUD!!!

Week 3

This week: down 0.5 lbs
Total: down 6.5 lbs

Another slow week in terms of weight loss. My normal weigh-in is on Saturday mornings, but this Saturday I have my next CropDay, so I won't be able to weigh-in, so I decided to weigh-in this morning, so it has only been 5 days since my last weigh-in. I lost a half a pound, so I am trying to focus on the total weight lost (6.5 pounds - yay) instead of the weekly loss since I feel that me level of effort in the last 2 weeks deserves more than a half pound lost each week. Could be the fact that I'm a nursing mom, maybe that's throwing everything out of whack. Who knows. I still have 25 of my extra points left for the rest of this week, so I doubt I will use them all.

Week 2

This week: down 0.5 pounds
Total weight loss: 6 pounds

I'm a little baffled at how in my first week, I went over on my points and lost 5.5 pounds, and this week, I have 20 of my extra points left and I only lost 0.5 pounds. Who knows, could be water retention due to the heat wave. Could be salt. I'm not going to worry about it, at least I'm still heading in the right direction!

Week 1

This week: down 5.5 pounds!!!

I got my first 5 pound star for my very first week! I am so proud of myself! And the week I had consisted of going to a buffet, eating at my in-laws (where food is a plenty!), and a potluck with friends. So, I think I did amazingly well!!!

I set a goal to lose 10 pounds by mid-August and I'm already half way there!
