245.0

Haven't lost or gained the last 2 days. But I'm sure my body is just adjusting :) and I likely need more fiber and its about time that I retain water for the month. So...yeah. all I know its I've been active the last few days, and losing ounces isn't a bad thing...I just like lbs more :)

248.00

just to rub it in that ive lost FORTY lbs since maya was born. and 10lbs in the last 2 weeks through breastfeeding, diet (eating enough calories to maintain a baby) and exercise. im prouda me.

i like this feeling of not always putting off moving around. im growing as a person while shrinking as a person.

aweesssssommmmmme.

249.4

smoothie! i have written a bit about drinking smoothies everyday. this is an example of one :) 1 medium banana, 1 small peach and one large peach, 1 cup strawberries, and less than one half cup of nonfat yogurt. 268 calories and wonderful! 1.5 large tumblers full! love it! makes me feel good and is instrumental in my weight loss!

J has been WONDERFUL helping to cook healthier! we used sammich thins 100 calories, tomatoes, onions, spinach, and tuna with NO mayo and some balsamic vinegar and relish. it tasted AMAZING! my entire dinner was only like 500 calories! LOVE IT!


also yesterday we went to the beach, and i walked along the beach with my 15 lb baby girl and then i played catch ont he sand with J. it was SUCH a workout!

i love feeling healthier. this is a good thing. i can identify all the cheating i did last time that i accepted and owned. but heres the thing...all that crap was simply that..CRAP.
im excited to see how this thing plays out. :) im also excited to see my body again! 68ish lbs to go!

Beach.

This is what happens when you go to the beach as a healthy person. You walk 20 mins in the sand then play catch and get a real workout. 4 years ago if I was on a beach and you said "hey, wanna exercise?" Ib be like "nuh uh". I'm proud of this :)

Another lb down today. 250! Well...to be fair....249.8 but still :)

1.5" gone with the wind

1.5" off of this flabby ole tummy is gone. still 8 inches bigger than 1.5 years ago. but ill take a loss right now!

Daily Shake!

and im not talking body by vi :)
not that there is anything wrong with it, but ive got a couple reasons it doesnt work for ME.
i dont wanna pay extra.
i am nursing.
i want to be in control of what goes into my body.

so everyday i make a smoothie using fresh or frozen by me fruit, and a splash of nonfat yogurt for binding. they range from 225 cals to 350 and they are AMAZING!

bob harper says in his book the skinny rules, that we should eat apples and berries everyday. its my way of getting my berries in and its helped a ton!

if you dont have a ninja or other food proccessor...GET ONE! this is amazing!

today was one peach, cuppa strawberries and a banana. 289 calories with the yogurt and it was filling and delish!

and its got fiber. and we all know, if youve read this blog from the get go...that I LOVE FIBER. :)

reality check!

so first off let me toot horns: ive lost 6 lbs this week! 6 lbs in 7 days! wahooo!

next i LOVE that i did this blog. to be able to look back to each stage in my weight loss the first time is awesome and motivating. i can see all the problems and all the bad choices. i can see where i went right and wrong and do the good things and not the bad.
