Hot Holidays Moms Check In-Week Two

Sorry this is late. It's been a busy, screaming morning
How's everyone doing?
I am not doing as well as I had hoped but I am no where near as bad as I had been. I am having a hard time drinking water like I wanted. I think I need to get a bottle with a straw instead of a lid I have to screw off. I also need to go grocery shopping and get some healthy snacks in the house because we're down to bare bones and what happens is I get super hungry and end up eating too much at my meals. We cooked at home most of the week which was really great though compared to all the junk we were eating out while we were moving.
Still have to get to the YMCA. I wish it was around the corner but it's about a 20 min drive and timing it to when the daycare was oepn hasn't worked out.

Is it too late to join you all?

Re: Hot Holidays Moms Check In-Week Two

I'm still having a hard time finding time to eat right. I know I'm not eating enough and that it's good at all. I have been walking almost every day! Haven't gotten on the scale yet though.

Re: Hot Holidays Moms Check In-Week Two

doing well I think.....I was puffy last week since AF was on her way.

drinking more water than I have been.
went out to dinner fir night cuz Daddy was in town....chose salmon & baked potato! but I had 2 beers with it.

Had some Breyers lite ice cream last night (needed it...daddy went home to NY AND AF showed).

A neighbors' dog came to visit again, so instead of driving him, we leashed all 3 dogs, put DD in the stroller and walked over! I plan on walking again today since we're home....if she ever wakes up!

Having pizza for dinner tonight...will snack on fruit this afternoon to make up for it.

And I know I'll be having some sort of cake this weekend since it's my bday. Had cake last week for DH bday.

Re: Hot Holidays Moms Check In-Week Two

Hi girls! I haven't been around much. Back to work and trying to spend my free time with my beautiful little girly. I'm doing great on weight watchers. I'm down 7lbs., and my clothes are definitely getting big on me. But I hate this stage because it's defeating when you're losing weight, so all of these clothes are too big, but my pre-prego clothes are still too tight to wear. So I just feel like a slob all the time I just need to keep going! I have like three pairs of pre-prego pants that I can get on and zip up. Now my goal is to be able to wear them and not look like a fool

Re: Hot Holidays Moms Check In-Week Two

I weighed in at WW Saturday and stayed the same. However, I did get my first AF since having DD the day before. I think I might have lost but the water weight from AF might not reflect that on the scale. I am down 26lbs since Grace was born.

I went shopping yesterday and wanted to cry. I have a closet full clothes I cannot fit into yet (sizes 8/10) and I am in between sizes now (between a 14 and 16). So, NOTHING fits!!!! I am so frustrated, and sad. I know, I am on the right track with WW and working out and I should not beat myself up over it, but I can't help it. I finally gave into buying new work stuff that would fit for now and nothing fit me when I tried it on. I bought two tops because tops are not the problem. It is finding pants or a suit. The 16's are swimming on me and the 14's are tight. I HATE THIS! The fact that I am a "15" right now is disgusting to me. I am so disgusted at my body right now and this was the kick in the azz I needed to up my workouts. No more of this 30 minute stuff, I commit to work out an hour a day 7 days a week until this weight is off!!!!! God, do I wish I can go see a plastic surgeon right now.
Sorry for the vent I am so upset over this.

Re: Hot Holidays Moms Check In-Week Two

I have been doing so well this week. Every morning i have been jogging or walking with DD. I did 4 miles this morning and i feel great. I have been eating so much better then before.
Everyone sounds like they are doing great. Keep up the good work.

Re: Hot Holidays Moms Check In-Week Two

Well I dont own a scale but I think I am doing ok. I am actually ordering Nutria System on Friday so that will help me alot

Re: Hot Holidays Moms Check In-Week Two

I started WW this week... and so far so good...

Been sticking to my points, drinking water (still not as much as Id like though) and walking 1-3 miles/day with DS...

Re: Hot Holidays Moms Check In-Week Two

Doing good with the exercise but not so good with the healthy eating. I just keep trying...

Re: Hot Holidays Moms Check In-Week Two

not so ggod with the h20 - i need to buy flavored seltzer or something,

Re: Hot Holidays Moms Check In-Week Two

ugh, not doing great. I want to take a long walk every day with DD & dog, but we've been so busy with appointments & running errands (guess I'm walking around the stores!) that I haven't had time for neighborhood walks. I need to kick it up a notch.

I did better with my snacking today. I have an obsession with cookies. It's terrible.

I also do not fit into any of my prepreg clothes yet, so I have nothing to wear. It's so frustrating. That should be motivation enough for me.

Re: Hot Holidays Moms Check In-Week Two

I'm doing ok. I started WW yesterday for the first time. I don't have a scale so will have to judge by how my clothes fit. I wish I could get back to the gym, but don't know how to fit it in with work and DS. I think I'll have to stick to walking with DS on my days off.

Keep up the good work everyone!
