So, are you on the edge of your seat? Did she gain? Did she lose? Did the scale move at all? Well I am happy to announce that I lost 5, yup I said 5 lbs! Oh yea! Doing the happy dance! Go me! Go me! I am so happy. But I just can't see it. I'm not beating myself up it is just that right now I can't see the progress in the mirror but I can tell you that pooch has gotten a little smaller. If any guys read this blog you may not understand what I am talking bout. Ok, back to my story. I wasn't able to be comfortable in my pants because when I would zip them up my pooch would be in the way and press down (oh the joys of a c-section) well now it is starting to get more comfortable. Hey it's a start.
Today I also started inforcing chores for my children. Just one a day, I know they have homework and need to calm down, but I also can only do so much. So Dakota had dish duty tonight and Dustin worked that vaccum. Neither one of them complained they just did it. I was so happy and so proud of them. It even allowed me to get the restof the laundry done today so Cole and I can enjoy our day tomorrow!
As for John, he is so happy that he has gotten on the healthy train with me. He is feeling better. He has more energy, hasn't felt any more pains (he is still going for his appointment though), and I can see some of the weight is coming off. He even wants to walk every day. I'm so proud!
To help me control my portions through the day I am starting to eat Smart Ones meals. I am not one for prepackaged foods and espically health ones. But I figured...why not? So for all you ww women I will put how many point they are and let you know if they are any good. Even though I am not on ww and can't just buy the books right now I will have to say the points mean nothing to me but can mean something to you ladies.
So here is the run down:
Exercise: Biggest Loser
Squats
*I had a friends remind me that I should rest atleast one day a week. So I will be resting one day a week but with as hectic as my schedule is I will never know what that day could be so I will leave that open. Thanks Alissa!*
Meals:
Breakfast: Smart Ones Ham, cheese, and potato bowl (5pts) Normally 220 cal but I could only eat 1/2 so 110 cal, Verdict: It was ok. But I will never buy it again. I'm not the biggest breakfast person anyway but I will stick to my cereal.
Lunch: Chinese Buffet. Yea I know not my finest moment but I had 2 plates, nothing fried,and no rice. But the salt content sucked I'm sure! 903 calories
Dinner: Hamburger Helper (does not make a great meal) 290 calories
Snacks: Smart Ones Cookie Dough Sundae (3pts) Yummy in my Tummy! And it is so sweet the small serving is just enough and I needed water after! 170 calories.
Although Chinese wasn't the best thing to do I atleast did it in the afternoon and ate a small dinner. Tomorrow I will be home so I should do just peachy!
