Operation Shred: Overdue Update!!

I have been bad.... but in a good way too!!

I haven't been to a Weight Watcher meeting in 2 weeks. Mostly because I have been working the last 2 Fridays (Friday is my meeting day) and the Friday morning meeting is the only one I can bring Hailey to.

However, I have stayed on track...you have no idea how easy it could be to steer off course when you are not weighing in every week!!

I have lost 5.2lbs since the last meeting for a total weight loss of 20.8lbs in 2.5 months! Officially 6lbs below pre-pregnancy weight!!

I still have 12lbs more to go until I am back where I first started. Suddenly 12 lbs doesn't seem so far away!!

Operation Shred: Below Pre-Pregnancy Weight!!

Drum roll please........ 15.6 pounds!!! In less than 2 months!! I can now say that I am 1 pound below my pre-pregnancy weight with Hailey. Now, I must add, that I was about 13 pounds heavier than usual at that time but hey its progress right?

I am 17 pounds away from where I started before I was pregnant the first time (I am adding 4 pounds for fluctuation purposes since us women have the luxury of this wonderful, wonderful thing). I consider that my goal. When I look at the fact that I have 17 pounds to go it seems so far away! But I CAN do this!!

And I just have to AW myself that this is the longest I have ever stuck with a weight loss program. The longest before was 6 weeks. Yea, I usually suck at this (hence my notorious big ass).

Sadly, I have not done The 30 Day Shred for 2 weeks. Good thing I am still losing weight in the meantime. To be honest, I tried level 2 and hated it. It's just not very much fun and I spent most of the time trying to figure out the move than actually working the muscles! Although this cannot be an excuse. I plan to jump back on this wagon soon. Since it's been so long, I will start with Level 1 again.

So here's to another successful week! Cheers!

Operation Shred: Week 6

Well I am happy to report I lost 2.4lbs this week! This makes a total of 13lbs in 6 weeks. After my 0.4lb gain last week I was really worried I would fall off the wagon.

I am sure those of you who have struggled losing weight can relate to that. Hearing that you gained weight after eating right & exercising 4x that week makes you want to go to In-n-Out and order a Double Double Animal Style with Animal style fries.....and a Diet Coke.

I refrained however. Although, I did do Level 2 of The 30 Day Shred only 1x this past week. I was wondering the outcome of my lack of exercise was going to be and I was successful anyway. This made me decide to not worry about doing The 30 Day Shred every day or even every other day (even though you are supposed to do it everyday). I will shoot for 3x a week. This way I won't get burned out!

Operation Shred Update

This is actually going very well. For myself and Randy. I lost 3lbs the first week, and actually gained 0.4 this past week. I am trying to not let that discourage me. I have been working out which includes strength training so I am chalking it up to that so I do not get discouraged!

It's great having a partner to do this with! A friend of mine, Amie, has come over to do the Shred workout with us as well. My friend Autum comes with me to Weight Watcher meetings. Randy and I always Shred together. It's a great support system.

I still have a long way to go but I am hoping I can meet my goal without losing track or getting off course.
