I know the title says from the 17th-23rd, but I weighted in today.  Well actually I weight in everyday, it’s a little obsession I have and I think it helps me stay on track.  So for an new all time, post baby, low my weight was 168.2!!!!!! this is a 1.8lb loss this week a great week for me and it puts me just .2lbs away from having lost 50lbs since Xander was born.

This week I did great, I didn’t sneak any food and I only stopped at Starbucks once!  I need to start looking at my financial fitness along with my health fitness so I am going to try to stop any excess spending.  We really don’t need anything at this point that we don’t already have and I would like to apply as much money as possible to paying off some of the debt we have.  Also we are starting to explore the option of combining our checking accounts. And even though we both have doubts about doing it I think it would make both of us more financially responsible.  Especially me since I have been know to overdraft on silly stuff like Starbucks coffee.

So added to my goals this week and from now on is no spending on anything that is not an absolute, so for the most part just grocery store food and the occasional coffee.  Tim Horton’s where possible.

So here are my goals from last week:

1. Do the Wii fitness or Biggest Looser at least 3 times and make it to the Gym 3 times: I did this and it felt great I made it to the gym 4 times and did the wii 3 times with one day off
   
2. Stick to SBD and track at least 4 days: I stuck to my diet about 90% it was great, and I got a small notebook to write everything that I eat throughout the day down in.
   
3. Go one week without buying any Starbucks for myself: I did go to Starbucks once this week, not bad considering I’m a 5-8 times a week Starbucks drinker
   
4. Weigh in at 168, solidly in the 160’s and out of the 170’s forever! I weight in at 168.2 today!

So as for my goals this week go:

I’m going to not worry about working out so much this week, Xander is very sick and I can’t take him to the childcare center at the gym and he is having a hard time breathing which means his naps are an hour or two with interruption every 15-20 minutes so he has been sleeping in my lap all week.

1. Write down all of my food intake for the entire week (good and bad), stick to my diet as much as possible.
2. Weight in at 167.2 by Sunday January 31!
3. Go one week without purchasing anything that is not absolutly necessary

Our gracious host Samantha at Mama Notes has posed us the question, what is your favorite healthy snack?

Being on the South Beach Diet it’s actually a requirement that you snack to keep your metabolism functioning properly throughout the day.  Some of my favorite South Beach Snacks are:

• “Fried Green Beans”
• String cheese, with apple
• Apple and peanut butter
• Roasted Chickpeas
• Cherry tomato and Feta
• Veg and Hummus
• Grilled chicken strips and hummus
• Cabbage soup
