Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Day 4 updates start page 3

I haven't updated but now, on day 4, I've worked out 4x in the past week, have had fruit and veggies every day and stayed away from ice cream. I did have some chocolate while watching the SATC movie but I thought it was okay.

Tonight, plans include running for 45 mins and then tomorrow AM, getting up early for a Slim in 6 DVD workout.

Weekend update..
I actually did pretty well despite the fact that we had a party yesterday and I felt so hot I didn't want to MOVE today!

I still have some trouble staying focused and I watch the clock EVERY second while I am on the elliptical. Even watching television doesn't work. I just want OFF. But I still managed 15 minutes yesterday. NOTHING today at all.

I was offered all manner of delightful drinks yesterday - key lime martini, buttery nipple shot, margarita, red bull/vodka, sangria - and I did not falter!! Victory on the sweet and or sugary drink front. I was kind of shocked at how much sugar is in the cocktails I would normally imbibe. I stuck to ice water all day long. I got a little hankering for something extra late in the day, so I had a literal splash of fruit juice in my water - just enough to give me the flavor without spiking my blood sugar.

Party yesterday - so I was presentable with full makeup and done hair. Today I stayed home and it was WAY too hot to be slathering on the makeup. I showered and put on some moisturizer and that was that. I did go to the market this morning before I showered. So my fellow shoppers were treated to me wandering the aisles in my plaid PJ bottoms and red tee shirt. At least I had on a bra!

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Day 4 updates start page 3

Still no chai

Still cleaning although it seems never ending.

The next few weekends will be tough as we have Maddie's real birthday & several friends' 40th birthday parties, but I'm eating healthier.

Absolutely need to get some excercise though.

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Day 4 updates start page 3

I did NOTHING yesteday since I was overheated and no access to the house to clean up.

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Day 4 updates start page 3

Updating to say I'm down 3.5lbs since we started this
So that means I'm down a total of 43lbs at 12wks PP - seriously, you'd think losing that much would cover all baby weight gained but I still have a healthy chunk to go

Drinking TONS of water
Watching what I eat
No eating after 7pm

I plan to work on dd's scrapbook this weekend....I have a few more pages to do and then her first year scrapbook will be done

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Day 4 updates start page 3

How was everyone over the weekend - and with Father's Day?

I did a few more pages of his scrapbook.

Have not exercised all weekend but that's because there was no time to.

I didn't have time to eat on Father's Day since I had 20 people at my house -- so that worked out well!

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Day 4 updates start page 3

The weekend I got my walks in, tried watching what I ate. Yesterday was hard.
Since we started, still no diet soda and honestly have no desire for it.
I've been drinking a ton of water and some Iced Tea or flavored water.

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Day 4 updates start page 3

I got a bit behind.

Project 1: Paint old concrete patio pavers

Prepared and clean area
Will prime tomorrow

Project 2: veggie garden

Finished seeding veggies
Stuill have to do lettuce

Project 3: clean planting beds

Had to redo grass patch on 2 beds. The grass never grew. It was too hot.

Project 4: front bedding beds

Had to cut all bushes down and tie them for garbage pick-up. Did half of it. DH had put everything to the curb and we got a summons fron the township to clean up that same day. DH had to help put half back into the planting beds until next garbage pick-up.

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Day 4 updates start page 3

I have not tried on my prepreg clothes, maybe this weekend. but I have been really good about cutting portions and unnecessary snacking, mist be working because I had to go and get a size smaller in my baptism outfit

We are moving soon, so I hope to get more walks in.

OK, I did it - not sure how, but that's what the scale said! Tomorrow is Ryan's baptism and I lost the additional 5lbs (now I still have a bunch more to go but that's another commitment).

Down 46.5lbs as of today - exactly 3 months PP

Re: Moms Made a Commitment through July: Day 4 updates start page 3

I said I wanted to loose 8 lbs and I've already lost 4!!!!! I think the stress of the wedding is helping but Im also eating less and have been a lot more active since the weather has gotten nicer!

Yay!!!!!! PS my wedding dress has to be taken in
