Re: SJ Squishies Monday Check-in: Week 4
Thumbs down for me as well.
I ate horribly all week. We only made one or two meals and ate out the rest of the time. Thankfully I didn't gain anymore weight but I didn't lose any either. On the plus side I did get a Wii Fit on Monday and have used it consistently all week. My whole body hurt on Saturday and Sunday because of the workouts I've been doing.
Now I'm fighting a cold that my sister has passed on to me, the only good thing about the cold is that it has diminshed my appetite considerably. I won't be in the mood for all the crappy food I've been eating.
I am hoping to get back on track today..i plan to start cooking again and get in a work out which i was unable to do last week

I've been pretty good with eating but horrible with working out.
I have an elliptical downstairs and cannot find the energy to work out when I get home. I'm so tired from getting up at 2 or 3 in am to feed baby James and then back up at 6 for work, that by the time I get home, I just want to eat (which entails cooking since i'm trying to be healthy) and spend time with hubby and baby. I really need motivation and don't know where to get it from!
That said, since i've been on South Beach with the occasional WW meal from Cyndi, i've lost 5.5 lbs in 2.5 weeks but the past 1.5 weeks, my weight is stalled (due to the lack of working out).
In order to meet my short-term goal, i've got to work out or else those clothes are never going to fit...ughh!
I had a good week and a good weekend, even with a wedding on Saturday. I made very wise food choices for the weekend (weekends are the struggle) and was even able to enjoy a drink and dessert on Saturday.
Managed to get in 2 workouts. Total weight loss so far, 4lbs.
Got into a pre-preg dress that fit better than I thought. Best compliment ever at the wedding, "Can you believe she just had a baby 4 months ago?" Woo-hoo!
