Well, here it is my second time to have a week 1. That’s just weird…but it shows my dedication to the idea of losing this weight! So the week was VERY difficult for me…mostly because I was alone with a 3 year old and a newborn…so I was very tired and would get to the afternoon and basically just say, “aw screw it” and pop junk into my mouth. This happened for the first 3 days of the week…I would eat off diet and then regret it almost immediately after. By day 4 I guess I “woke up” and decided that I didn’t like my own attitude…so I started behaving. Needless to say, you reap what you sow, so my weightloss reflected those first 3 days and I only lost 2.6 lbs. (264.4 ) Thing is, I weighed myself midweek and was actually down 5.2 lbs, but by the time I did my weigh in, it was back up. My body does that…can’t explain it, but I’ll drop down dramatically then come back up to level off…will stay there awhile and then drop again. (Kinda like the stock market these days!) Anyway, when I went to meet with my consultant, another lady was there who started the same day I did (and actually she was also a returning JC customer…good to know that I’m not the only returning one! Also nice that JC is always there for you if you need to come back!) She was sorta bummed that she only lost 3.6 lbs, and wanted to know my loss for the week. When I told her I only lost 2.6, I think she felt better. I told her that any loss is a loss and that we didn’t gain and we didn’t even stay the same!! The way I see it, this isn’t a race… and at least I’m trying…which is better than not trying! Am I perfect? Nope. But I’m making an effort. And it IS an effort! My big “AHA” moment this week was that everyone should try to lose weight right after having a baby…because not only are you burning calories all day long like usual, but those 15 extra times you have to get up in the night with your newborn are burning even more calories!! Guess my sleepless tot is good for something after all!!!
So here we go for week 2… Let’s see how we do! Go me!
