The Jeans

Except for the obvious muffin top, I can finally fit into my pre-Katie and pre-wedding jeans!  My home scale this morning read 188 which is only a pound heavier than what the doctor's scale read the day I found out I was pregnant with Katie. Obviously that pregnancy changed my body so it will be a few more pounds before I can comfortably wear these in public. But I didn't even have to suck it in to zip them this morning.

Last night at Weight Watchers, the scale read up by 1.8 pounds. But I hate weighing in at this time of the month if you know what I mean. That being said, I should easily reach and possibly pass my next milestone of 40 pounds next week. That means another measurement and before/after picture post!  More to come. I'm almost halfway there! :)

Slowly Ticking Away

Wow!  The last couple of months have gone by WAY TOO FAST!  And the pounds are coming off way too slow. I feel like the tortoise in the tortoise and the hare. Slow and steady wins the race right?  I haven't been able to post another 10 pound post in forever because I seem to be roller coastering way too much. I have a few good days of tracking, then nothing for a few weeks. It doesn't help that our financial situation is making it nearly impossible to plan ahead my meals for the week. 

I did start training for the 1/2 marathon I plan on doing December 1st. I even did one workout while on a trip last week. I got up one morning and used the fitness center to get in about 35 minutes of interval running. I came home weighing in  (on my scale) at about a pound lighter. I probably won't be down on the WW scale tonight because my monthly female time is rearing it's ugly head right now. The last time that happened, I "gained 2.4 pounds".  

Oh we'll, at least I'm still trucking along, slow as it may seem. Until next time . . .
