So I survived another weekend. It wasn’t the best and probably wasn’t 100% on program but it was better than it has been the past couple weeks. I even said NO to cake yesterday at a bridal shower…that is an NSV if I ever saw one!
Today I have been completely OP and again said NO to carrot cake at lunch. It looked so delicious and I even picked up the plate but put it down, walked away and ate my all bran bar instead.
Here’s the menu for today:
B – apple & cinnamon oatmeal (3) special K bar (2)
S – apple (1)
L – cream of broccoli soup at hand (2) turkey sandwich on WW bread (2) carrots and dip (1)
S – all bran bar (2)
I have eaten all of my food for the day and have 3 ½ hours until home time but I have water to drink and gum to chew. Also not sure what is for dinner today but I have 10 points for dinner/snacks.
As for exercise, I walked to work today (35 minutes brisk walking) and I was planning on walking home but it is raining now so we will have to see about that one.
My friend from Weight Watchers and I are back to daily emails of our menus to stay on program and I really think this is going to help. It used to help me stay OP a lot because I really need the accountability. Here is to us losing weight!!!
In other news, I have pink eye. It looks a lot worse than it is but people at work are giving me crap for coming to work because it is “contagious” even though I have been on antibiotics for over 24 hours and am fine now. Until we get paid sick days, if I am feeling okay, I am coming to work! Hopefully it will look a lot better tomorrow though!

How Kristen Got Her Body Back
I am back and bigger than ever!! Okay, not really, but I am big. After almost 10 months of pregnancy and a 70 pound weight gain I am back to losing the weight (once again!). Baby Easton arrived via an unexpected c-section on January 8th at 10:53pm. He was 8 lbs 15 oz and perfect! Yes, I realize he was due on Christmas and January is in a completely different year… that is how late he was!!
Two days before I had him I weighed in at 225 pounds at my doctors appointment. This morning I was 166 pounds, down almost 60 pounds!! Wahoo! 15 pounds from my pre pregnancy weight and 30 pounds from where I would like to be. My goal is to get back to my goal weight of 135. It is going to be tough but I am willing to do it! I know my body isn’t ever going to look the same as it did before Easton but I am going to make it as good as it will get!
I have been going to Weight Watchers for the past month and a half but this past week I have been slacking and I need something to get me back on track. My blog helped me once before and I hope it will once again!
Since I am back at work getting in exercise is a lot harder than it was before. My goal is walk to and from work each day (35 minutes each way). On the weekends I will take Easton for a minimum of 30 minute walk. I will also do 50 sit-ups a day to start. This tummy needs work!
Something that has helped me in the past was making a list of why I want to lose the weight and reminding myself daily of these reasons. Here is what I have come up with so far:
1. Look more attractive
2. Have more confidence
3. Enjoy shopping for clothes
4. Have more flexibility in what I can wear
5. Feel good in public
6. Enjoy having pictures taken
7. Have more energy
8. Be healthy and live longer!!
My first goal is to lose 10 pounds in June! Very doable I think… now I just need to focus!
