Weigh-In Wednesday!!!!!

Well, here I am exactly 1 week after beginning my post partum weight loss journey. Brad surprised me and ordered Nutrisystem for 1 month for my birthday just to help jump start me. Here's another "you know you've been married for awhile when" moment...........when your husband actually orders you a weight loss program with the absolute knowledge that you will deeply love him and it'll be the most wonderful gift in the world instead of fearing he'll be served divorce papers over it. And needless to say, I was elated and rather ecstatic.

So, with both of us fearing it might not be enough calories for me to sustain my milk supply I counted all of the points like I do on Weight Watchers and supplemented as neccessary. And counting the points also ensures I don't lose any of my milk supply, which I was alreadyhaving issues with. So, this actually has gotten me to eating regularly, which I'm really bad about. It's also helped to get me eating in general since I tend to just not eat. Usually I feed the chidlren and by the time that's done Gavin wants to nurse and then after he's done I clean after breakfast or lay down for a nap with the children after lunch. And after dinner's done I put everybody to bed and then I go to bed. So, just getting food in on a regular basis probably helped the weight loss too.

And the results are in for the 1st week........drum roll please..............

9 POUNDS!!!!!!!!

I am now only 21 pds away from being at my goal weight. Not bad at all.

I forgot to take before pics and now I'm really wishing I had! I'm already fitting into stuff that is not maternity but I still have the rest to go before I make it back into the majority of my wardrobe. I know well enough by now the 1st week is always the most rewarding as far as the scale goes since it's usually a pretty good number drop. Next week probably won't be quite so amazing but I look forward to still seeing the number slide down the scale and finally fitting back into my clothes!!! I am definitely encouraged!
