Week 2 and 3

Okay, well the weight is not falling off in droves, even though I’m being good and exercising even more than I was last time around…Talked to my consultant about this and we both think it may be something to do with my body “resetting” after having the baby. So I lost 1.6 on my weigh in for week 2 and only .5 for week 3. I did, however start working out at a gym with a personal trainer…which I honestly wasn’t sure would do me that much good since I pretty much know what I need to do…but my trainer is incredible…she pushes me to new levels, accepts no excuses and introduces me to new ways to try things. I have had 2 workouts with her now…and although I could hate her at times during the session, I really am thrilled with her. Worth the money!! So…am I bummed about the weight numbers?? Well, yes and no. I sure wish the numbers were really dropping, but I know I’m doing the right things and eventually the numbers will catch up. So I’m into another week. It’s a lot easier to get back into the “groove” this time around…so making my choices is getting easier. One thing I’ve learned is that I can’t let myself get too hungry, because it’s during those starving moments that my mind says, “Awww, forget it…I’m starving…I’ll grab what is convenient.” Amazingly, carrot sticks are just as convenient as potato chips…so why can’t I get psyched about carrot sticks?? What’s that about?? Maybe one day I’ll love carrot sticks as much as potato chips!! Wouldn’t that be great?
