Another 2lbs down

Well, I lost another two pounds this week. It was a hard earned 2lbs too. I decided to start counting my calories and writing what I eat down. I think that made a huge difference.  It allowed me to see what I was eating. It forced me to be more mindful.

I went in for my blood pressure check. The doctor said it was perfectly fine. So I can continue the medicine. I will do that for another month then probably take a month off. The doctor said it can be more effective if you take a break.

This is the start of week 7 of the Bob Harper program. This week and next and then I will do my measurements. I am getting curious to see if they will change. I have noticed a change in my arms. I just feel stronger. I still struggled with the Bob's Workout DVD. I did workout 1. This one mainly focuses on abs. I just don't have the strength back. I did better this time than last, but still there is a lot of work to be done.

I read online today that after having a baby give yourself 9 months to get back to your pre-pregnancy shape. And to remember that you might never be exactly to your pre-pregnancy shape. I really needed to see that. I am struggling mentally with the way my stomach looks and feels. I am seeing results on the scale, but not in the mid section. I know it takes time, but I am ready now.

Today was 86 degrees outside. My body and wardrobe are not ready for it to be this warm. I am going to have to buy some summer clothes to get me through the summer. There is no way I will be able to fit into my clothes from last year.  I am so grateful for my little man. I just wish I had a little bit longer to hide behind my sweatshirts and jeans.

Hoping to have another great week.
