Body After Baby : Progress

MamaNotes


So after a few rounds of disappointment,  I've finally made progress.
I got down under 200 lbs. Squee!! I've been bouncing between 198 and 199.
I think the combination of a cheat weekend and the impending "moon time" took it's tole on me.
It coincided with a planned shopping trip.
I was thrilled. I actually went into stores that I would normally never even bother with. I bought size 16 khakis at Old Navy ( I <3 Old Navy). They're already getting loose. At least I can still throw them in the dryer to get them to fit.

The question this week for the Body After Baby Challenge from MamaNotes.com is

What is your favorite healthy snack?

I tend to snack on carrots most of the time. So much that I just bought a 5 lbs bag of organic baby carrots at Sam's Club this weekend. If I'm craving something sweet, I go for Special K's 90 Calorie chocolate drizzle granola bars. They might not be the healthiest, but they fill the sweetness void.

Still no gym membership.
I'm trying to see if we can start running before I spend the money. I am doing Wii Fit Plus pretty regularly.

On a side note: Customers think I'm full of crap when I tell them how much weight I have lost... without diet pills or surgery.

So here is a picture from today of some progress.
I cropped it a bit since I took it in a public bathroom after work.
The pants, I bought a year ago and are size 18. I "shrank out of" them months ago, but I've not been able to find a pair of dress pants for work that I like. Yeah... I'm picky like that.

  8. My favorite healthy snack has got to be popcorn. I eat it kernel by kernel, slowly. The 94% fat free kind, of course. Sometimes with some Kernel Seasonings sprinkled on it (chocolate marshmallow). Other times with 1 tablespoon of mini chocolate chips mixed in while the popcorn is good and hot. Yum.
