Tuesday has rolled around yet again! My current weight as of today is 174.8 pounds! 🙂 Hooray! A loss! Only 34.8 pounds to go!
This week I got my butt in gear, at least first gear anyway. I worked out 3 times and tried to be more careful about what I ate. I was however sabotaged by girl scout cookies that I ordered while still pregnant (yes I picked up 12 boxes of cookies and now have 11), and a leftover carton of Moosetracks ice cream in the freezer, which is now gone and will not be replaced. The good news is that even with my couple setbacks I still lost weight by being aware of my meals and eating habits and working out to counter eating an entire box of lemon girl scout cookies and a half carton of ice cream. Now imagine how much I will lose this week when I bump up to 4 workouts and no girl scout cookies or ice cream.
Lesson learned: know your weakness and control it! I have since bought Weight Watchers Dark Chocolate Raspberry 80 calorie ice cream pops to satisfy my sweet tooth after dinner. I also really like the Kashi Dark Chocolate Almond Cookies, but they have 120 calories each. I do have a couple hurdles coming this week, I have my first book club meeting on Thursday where I will indulge a little in chocolate, wine, and cheese; also a game night on Friday where I will have to resist free pizza and cookies. So wish me luck!
What I am giving you today is finally my before and after photos. So what you see below is my before baby and marriage photo, taken Winter 2012 (New Years Eve actually so forgive the crazy dance move, but you get an idea of my shape!) and my after baby and marriage photo, taken Winter 2013. In a little while I will, thank goodness, be posting my real before and after photo of my baby weight loss! And I can’t wait! With any luck my Summer 2013 pic will be even hotter than my Winter 2012!

Okay here is my biggest loser baby gut. I look 4 months prego! No skinny jeans can hide that…or fit on it!
