Slow progress!

I am still at it.  I just have had a hard time the past couple of weeks.  I was down with strep for a few days and the kids have been sick.  I have decided that I have to start going to the gym while Jer is still home in the morning.  I was getting up at 4:30 am for a week so I could feed the baby and then go to the gym.  I tried going to the gym without feeding her first one day and she woke up and freaked on Jer for an hour.  So I took a week off to get better and get the baby on a better sleeping schedule.  Now she is sleeping 12 hours and will sleep right through me going to the gym at 5 am.  I am excited to be going in the early am instead of right in the middle of my morning.  It will be nice to get home at 6:30 and be able to get right on the day without interrupting my day to go to the gym.  

As of yesterday, I was at 155.  Since I have been sick, it may be down a little but let's hope I can hold on to this and go down from there.

Struggling!

Ok, so as of last Thursday I am struggling. Part of me just wants to throw in the towel. How is it that we can have such strong convictions one moment and no desire the next? I do great each day until about 2 pm. After that I am just hungry, stressed and have a lot to do. That is when it seems easier to give up and start anew tomorrow. I think it is a lack of planning and a lack of good snack choices. Part of me is just so sick of being so limited on food choices. Not only am I trying to limit myself to healthy choices, I also have the limit of no dairy too. So I feel like there is nothing left on my list to eat.

So here is to a reminder of my goal: 130 by May 7th. NO more days to waste!

Report for last week. No gain, no loss.

Hour glass!

In my effort to achieve an hour glass figure, I am noticing a lot of sand slipping through that hour glass.  I am at the point now of trying to balance exercise and everything else.  Let's face it, it is not easy to carve out a few hours of your day with a new endeavor.  Especially with already having time taken with the addition of a newborn.  So, I just keep plugging away at the gym but keep feeling more and more behind in other areas.  I keep telling myself that I deserve to take care of myself and that I have to if I want to have the health to do the other things.  It is still just this constant battle going on in my mind of how to do it all.  I have finally come to the conclusion that something has to give and the gym isn't it.  So now is the task of decided what gets done and what will go by the wayside.

I have decided to do an official weigh in every week now so here is Monday's official results:

2 pounds down bringing me to 158!  Yeah!  By goal is to be 130 lb by May 7th.  That gives me 2 pounds a week.  So here goes to a new start!
