Weigh In Wednesday

6/6/2012

Well, I'm thinkin' Wednesday will be my least favorite of all the days I post. I've committed to making this blog real and true to life. And for me, that includes trying to lose weight. At this point I don't have big secrets or tips to share. I did Weight Watchers for a while and I was struggling more than I was having success. There are a few blogs that I follow who's writers have lost significant amounts of weight (You can see those here and here) and they give a lot of good advice. Plus, I have a few friends who've lost significant amounts of weight and they all seem to be invaluable resources.

So here's the skinny, I've got about 130lbs to lose to get me to the top of my "healthy" weight range. I've already lost about 20 lbs from my highest non pregnancy weight. Although, honestly I didn't have to work hard for that to come off. It came off pretty quickly not long after Macie was born and I was nursing and got gingivostomatitis and I couldn't really eat or drink anything. I lived on coke and milkshakes for almost a week.

Since then I've been couting calories (1800 a day) and I've started the Couch to 5k running program. BUT, I've lost zero weight. Infact I weighed myself in perperation for today's post and nothing. There was zero movement on the scale. So, I think maybe I need to decrease my calories a little bit. I'm thinking maybe 1600. The recommended daily amount of calories for me is actually 1500, but I wasn't qute ready for that just yet, but it may work out that's what I have to do.

What is perfectly clear that is that I'm not doing something right. I've been couting calories for 2 weeks now and I've only had maybe 3 days where I've exceded my calories. So, something isn't working.

I don't think I'll be posting my actual weight online. Not yet at least. Not quite ready for that, but I am going to be brave and post a before picture. This was taken this morning. So it's recent.

So, here goes Weigh In Wednesdays. Hopefully, next week I'll have better news to report!

I checked out your blog since I saw you posting all over facebook & Pinterest and I noticed your menu planning and weight challenge to yourself and it made me think of this girl's food blog and all the recipes that I've been enjoying from it. :0) Thought that I'd share...although you've probably already seen me pinning them like crazy on Pinterest. lol.

Personally, I recommend her Edamame Fried Rice, Cuban Style Black Beans, and Cilantro Lime Rice. I'm trying her Bangin' Good Shrimp maybe next week.
I thought that it might be a fun way for you to enjoy skinnier eating! Instead of feeling like you're dieting... ugh.
