Tuesday update: Week 3!

I lost another pound!!! That makes 2 pounds so far. I would love to have lost more, but at least the scale is moving in the right direction.

This past week's Body after Baby challenge was to eat healthy, balanced meals. I didn't do great....but, I earned 11 points. I'll take it!

Last week was a rather emotional one for me, so I am hoping that this week will be better since I am in a better frame of mind.

Goals for Week 4:

--lose 2 pounds
--continue walking 30 minutes a day
-- 50 sit ups every day

Let's hope this is the week I lose 2 pounds!!!

Tuesday update: Mama Notes Body After Baby Challenge

To sum up last week's challenge: I did bad.

I had great intentions, but failed to remember that we would be busy driving all over the place this weekend to visit several friends in the area. I still managed to pull off some walking, but no where near an hour a day as I had planned. I did 3 1/2 hours for the week, which gives me 14 points for this week (right?).

I also didn't manage to lose a single pound. But, I didn't gain any either.

Goals for this week:

eat balanced meals for EVERY meal
lose 2 pounds
walk 30 minutes each day

Tuesday update: Week 2

Week one is done. I felt pretty good this week!

Water Challenge: I didn't manage to drink as much as I would have liked, but averaged about 80 ounces per day. That means I earned the maximum points for this week's challenge! 56 points for me!

Weight loss: Sadly, I only lost 1 pound. At least the scale went in the right direction :).

Overall: I felt pretty good about my habits this past week. I walked nearly everyday, and ate relatively healthy (and definitely healthier than I have been eating).

Looking forward:

I am looking forward to this week's Body After Baby Challenge: exercise! I think that is going to be my key to weight loss.

Goals:
--loose 2 pounds this week
--walk 1 hour per day (will likely be broken into 2 chunks)
--drink 80 ounces of water per day
--limit of one diet soda per day (I need to get this under control!!!)

Mid week update: Week One

We are halfway through week one of the challenge!

So far this week:

I have walked at least 20 minutes each evening.
I have averaged 85 ounces of water per day.
I have had at least 4 servings of fruits/veggies per day.

Of course, I'd like to get these amounts higher as the weeks progress. But, I am pretty happy with the progress so far!
