BTW it's day 140

a small drop.

weight:  230.2 lbs

Weight after giving birth to Baby Girl:  286 lbs
Weight at start of weight loss journey:  278 lbs on July 23, 2010


Weight lost since having Baby Girl:  55.8 lbs
Weight lost since July 23, 2010:  47.8 lbs

Weight one week ago: 232.6 lbs





I know if I am building muscle that weight drops can lessen and I know that I often don't see drops after workouts that focus more on core and strength training.

I need to get back into more regular cardio though too.

I was for awhile but sometimes it just, frankly, gets boring being on the squeaky elliptical.  I can't hear the TV over it and, invariably, Baby Girl fusses as soon as I start and Hubs doesn't have the capacity to soothe her as quickly as I do and if she's fussy and he has her, I can't concentrate and I don't finish my cardio.

Sometimes I think it might be easier if I had a gym membership but at the same time -- then I think it would be hard to get out the damn door since the closest gym does not have child care.

I guess I'm just feeling a little out of sorts today...

Grr Arrgh!

  3. Great Job on your weight loss since July!! You're definitely on the right track!

    I totally understand feeling out of sorts, it's hard to juggle being a mom and taking time for yourself!
