I can’t believe I’m writing about weight loss the day after Thanksgiving. I am still full.
If you’re just tuning in, I’m working on postpartum weight loss and share Project Weight Loss updates on Fridays.
Last week, after hanging out in the upper 130’s for 4 days straight, I woke up on Saturday morning feeling very ready to be done with all of this. I was plain old tired of trying to lose weight and felt ready for a break.
Project Weight Loss rolls on! Today marks the end of Week 3.
If you recall, last week I hooted and hollered when I saw I was down to 144.8 from 146.0 the week before.
This week instead of shouting “Hooray!” I said “Really?!” because when the scale said 143.8 this morning, I had a hard time believing it.
All week I hung out at 145 and even saw 146 flashing back at me one day despite staying within my weight loss calorie allowance just about every day of the week. I was especially bummed to see 146 and threw myself a Poor Me Pity Party while I stood on the scale, wondering why am I doing any of this?
Well, it’s the end of Week 2 of my little Project Weight Loss here. Last week at the end of Week 1 I weighed in at 146.0.
Today?
144.8
(Did you hear me shouting HOORAY at 6:30 AM, EDT today!?)
I was VERY happy to see 144 on the scale this morning, especially considering I haven’t seen those numbers in that order since I was three months pregnant. I didn’t even care that it had a “.8” behind it. In fact, I wouldn’t have cared if it said 144.99999!
One week ago today was my “It’s Time to Get Serious About Weight Loss” start date.
My Body Weight Time Line from 2011 and 2012
In the early summer of 2011, I weighed 133 on my home scale and was very content with that.
October of 2011 I found out I was pregnant. I had not stepped on the scale in since August of 2011 so I don’t know exactly what my pre-pregnancy weight was. I’m sure I weighed more than 133 by the end of the summer when I was training for the Steamtown Marathon simply because I felt hungrier than usual due to all the miles I was running and was therefore eating more than usual. I know I gained some weight during this time.
