Weight Loss Turtle

Week 5: 173.6 pounds.  Yes I am steadily headed in the right direction, definitely on the turtle path though!  I am not frustrated, but I really need someone to give me a swift kick in the ass…that someone is me.

I do have some new excuses this week for having only lost like a pound though! 🙂  My husband came home after being gone for two weeks, so I cooked up a FABULOUS dinner for him on Friday night of Shrimp Fettucini…any excuse to splurge on a meal!!  St. Patrick’s Day was this weekend, so I HAD to make and eat cupcakes for the neighbors and drink alcohol in excess.  I didn’t make it to yoga on Saturday or Sunday thanks to late nights of drinking debauchery!  I am failing to get out of bed early in the morning because to work out at 5:30 I actually have to get up at 4:30 just to pump in order to work out comfortably, yes exercising while breast-feeding is far more complicated than just get up and do it!  Also the pumping thing another reason why I probably did not get up for yoga on Saturday and Sunday…but not a good one and I will be making it this weekend!

This week I would like to lose 3.6 pounds and make it to 170 or less.  I need a swift kick in the ass and bathing suit season is 10 weeks or 69 days away I need to get to work!!  BTW bikini season starts Memorial Day Weekend.  And 69 days to lose 23.6 pounds is not an easy feat to tackle, but lordy does it get you thinking!!  So goodbye biggest loser belly and hello bikini!  I do have some additional motivation headed my way this week.  We are picking up our new elliptical to put in our home gym that I don’t use this week and also my neighbor and I will be working out together, trying the beach body Turbo Fire Workout Program!  Although we may not start that until next week.  I will be sure to let you know how it goes! 🙂

Well wish me luck as I try to transition from the weight loss turtle to the weight loss hare!!
