Weigh in

My Monday weigh in was 194.8. Not a big loss, but a loss none the less. I haven't done well this week and it is only Tuesday, but that means there is time to get back on track. I did well with my exercise on Sunday. The kiddo and I went to the park twice that day and played. Since then I had an old friend in town visiting and that has lead to my eating downfall. Man that was easy, a little out of town guest and me eating right it out the window.

Tuesday

No walking on Tuesday, but I plan to hop on the treadmill today and see if I can get at least 20 mins in...maybe I will even try for 30 at a good pace.

Food for Tuesday
Breakfast - Chicken noodel soup (220 cals)
Coffee with 2% milk and slenda

Snack - 1/2 c trail mix & one piece string cheese

lunch - steak mushroom cheddar pannini

snack - 3x3 in piece of birthday cake (yellow cake with chocolate filling and white icing)
Diet Coke

Dinner - chili with cornbread
decaf ice tea

snack - 1/2 cup trail mix & 3 parmesan flat bread crackers and 1.5 tb hummus.

Sunday & Monday

Sunday the Hubs and kiddos and I went for a walk. We all packed up and headed to the local park. The big one and the Hubs played, the little one and I watched. Part of the time was did a few little laps around the playscape. Then the whole family walked a 1 one loop around the park, then we walked back home. I would guess I walked almost 2 miles. I felt it too. You can tell I really need to build up by stamina again.

Monday I paid more attention to my food. I bought a little book to write everything down in too.
Breakfast - peanut butter and blueberry preserves on whole wheat
Lunch - turkey breast sandwich on whole wheat (with swiss cheese, mustard, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes)
snack- trail mix (almonds, pitacios, dried cranberries, raisins, cheeries) 1/2 cup
dinner- chicken alfredo, green beans and de-caf ice tea
snack - trail mix 1/2 cup and 2 flatbread crackers and 1 tb hummus.

The whole family walked about 20 mins last night. I wasn't as tired or sore, so this might be my regular walk for the next week. The Hubs and I also kicked the soccer ball around with our olderst son in the front yard.

Cleared

I have been cleared by the Dr. and everything is now a go. My current weight is 195 and I think I have lost everything I am going to from the post pg...now I will have to work off the rest of it. That is similar to my 1st pg. I lost about 1/2 of what I again in the 1st few weeks and then had to work off the rest.

My current plan is to:
1) start on Monday - I have given myself 1 full month of rest
2) drink mainly water, no more full calorie tea or soda, - I have indulged in a few too many sweet teas and Dr. Peppers
3) start walking on the treadmill and build up my endurance, - the Dr. said I would have to build up my strength again.
4) starting eating regular Breakfast, lunch & dinner with 2 snacks, - I have been sleeping thru breakfast or barely eating anything. I need to be more consistent during the day so I don't go over board at night.
5) I plan to stop eating by 7:30 (3 hours before bed time)
6) Start keeping track of calories again - Dr. agreed that now is not the time for strict calorie limits. She suggested I not go under 2,000 a day while I'm still nursing.

So that is the plan and hopefully I can start taking off a few more pounds before I head back to work.
