Todays check in is a little late but better than never, right.  I got on the scale this morning and weighted in at 182.4 that’s right the lowest weight since before having Xander!  I have been able to be focused this week and I am very proud of myself for all the great effort I put in.  I have visited the gym three times this week and took a long walk on one day that I didn’t visit the gym.  I have keept my food journal at least 5 days last week and I have been good keeping it so far this week as well.  So like many have always said hard work does pay off and I am starting to move the scale.

For me I think it’s a balance that has to happen where I have several high calorie days and several low calorie days, if I go all low or all higher nothing really happens for me but if I cycle my body keeps guessing and I see some movement.  It’s all really just a guess for me some weeks I stick to it and it happens and some weeks it doesn’t happen.

This week I’ll be starting a Pilate class on Wednesday night and hopefully it will totally kick my ass and make me much leaner!

Goals for this week:

1. Track food consumption 5 days, with one high calorie day (2800 < 2300) and two low calorie day (1500>1800)
2. Do abs every day
3. Go to the gym on Monday, Friday, Saturday and Wednesday

The Body After Baby Challenge has been great for me so far and I hope all you other mamas are going at least as good as I am if not better!  Please feel free to leave me a comment and let me know how it’s going today and this week.

FINALLY I saw some progress this week!!!

I got on the scale this morning and it read 183.0 that’s right I’m down more than half pound since last week and the three months before that. At this pace I’ll be back to pre baby weight by the time the sun goes super nova, lol.  No really thanks to all the women of Body after Baby challenge for keeping me on focus for this week.  This week I did not keep all of my goals but I came close.  I worked out three days, kept close track of my food four days and I did abs three days.  So it was more like 70%.

I believe the big difference has been the food tracking.  So to follow here are this weeks goals:

1. Track food consumption 5 days, with one high calorie day (2800 < 2300) and one low calorie day (1500>1800)
2. Do abs every day
3. Go to the gym on Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday

And since I haven’t posted a picture in a while here is a cute one of Xander.
