Week 1 Weigh In
Well this week wasn't very good for my weight goal... luckily I didn't gain any, but I didn't lose any either. I started walking and did fairly well several days last week but my eating was terrible! We had a whole bunch of left over cookies after Brynley's blessing on the 1st and then Mariska and I made brownies on Saturday. I know we shouldn't have but she was bored and loves to help make treats. So my walking combined with bad eating made me just maintain the weight I am. Although my body feels pretty good since starting to walk. Although right now I'm so tired, I don't know how I'm going to muster up the strength to work out today... but I HAVE to! And hopefully I can eat better this week and actually start losing some! I have to do better! I have so many clothes that I want to wear!

Don't freak out about it!!
The healthiest way to lose weight is a steady and "slow" one. Otherwise, it's actually not too healthy nor is it permanent. The weight loss will happen eventually as you make even small changes. Focus on other "issues" that might be getting in the way of losing weight.
Oh, and remember to enjoy life - stop thinking that you aren't good enough!!! You are so hard on yourself!!! Read 1 Samuel 14:7 whenever you start to beat yourself up.
Just look in the morror and say, You are good enough and darn it, people like you!
Thanks! I'm not freaking out about it yet... I knew I wouldn't do that well after all those cookies were left over last Sunday! I'm starting to realize that I'm harder on myself then I should be. It's pretty hard to change your way of thinking after 26 years though! Thanks for the scripture, I need to print one out and have it handy through out the day!
May I add to Amber's already excellent point that you are barely post-partum?? Remember how it's supposed to take you about 6 MONTHS before you can even start thinking about fitting into your pre-pregnancy jeans? Don't make your goal to lose weight; that never lasts. Rather, make your goal to be healthy. If that's the goal, then you will be doing everything for the right reasons and not constantly obsessing over the scale (nor will the guilt of weight loss constantly plague you if you decide to treat your body to a cookie now and then). Also, if you're nursing, be careful about cutting too many calories from your diet.
You're awesome for wanting to get back in shape and take control of things, by the way! I love you!
Oh kudos to you & A for effort! Yah and remember your body is still trying to recoup hormonal wise for at least the coming year. Your lack of sleep is definitely a deterrent! Besides, lack of sleep can cause stress & stress can cause you to gain weight too huh?!
Walking is my favorite form of exercise & most motivational form. I'm just waiting for summer so I can take the kids out in the stroller!
