Down 30lbs.
Caution this blog contains a lot of praising myself and being stupidly happy!
Wow! I think the title says it all! When I started loosing weight in January I expected it to take until I went back to work in October, but at the rate I’m going, I’ll be done in the summer, providing that I don’t lower my goal weight, again. The biggest sense of pride for me right now is that I actually weigh less than my hubby. He’s hovering around 166lbs and I’m down to 161.6lbs. It feels really nice to be less than him. I looked over my losses since the start of this year and I’m really proud of myself. I’ve lost an average of 1.7lbs a week and only one week did I stay the same and honestly I ate a huge salty meal the night before weigh in and the week after lost over 4lbs so I know the salt had me retain water. And no I wasn’t rounding in April, I actually had four weigh ins where I was on a whole pound. I was starting to think my scale might be broken. I feel really proud that I’ve managed to drop 30lbs, and not just because it’s more than double my baby’s weight. I feel good because I’ve tried to loose weight before and it didn’t take and I’d loose interest around getting into the 170s and this time I smashed through all my usual barriers and plateaus and have just been dropping the weight like crazy. I think I’m blessed to be doing this in my twenties and having a baby who’s still nursing and helping to suck the fat out of me. Now I just hope the weight comes off this easy for all my babies and I’ll be a really happy mama!
