Operation Healthy Mom - Week 5

I'm down .5 lbs this week, making a grand total of 3.2 lbs.  I've been substituting healthier options of my normal sweet bad things I've been indulging in.  My two new favorite snack and dessert is first Wheat Thins Tomato & Basil, 15 crackers (1 serving) is 3 points in weight watchers, these crackers are SO ADDICTING!  And Turkey Hill has some of the yummiest Frozen Yogurt, I tried Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, 1/2 cup (1 serving) is only 2 points.  Score!!!  Next time I want to try out PomBlueberry Chocolate Truffle - looks so yummy.

Next week's challenge is to add in some exercise, either walk 3x's times this week or 3 workouts on the Wii.

Operation Healthy Mom - Week 3

This week I'm down .5lbs.  Which I'm happy with, I've been doing some research about losing weight when nursing and they said  1lb a week is great, since I can't really cut out a bunch of calories.  I'm looking into Weight Watchers for Nursing Mother's Plan.  But I don't want to pay, so am still researching it. I did it years ago but don't have my materials anymore.

Also, instead of having a stash of diapers down here, I moved everything up to Baby Girls room, forcing me to do the stairs several times for throughout the day.

I wanted to share this site, where 8 women are competing to lose the most amount of weight in 8 weeks, it's called The Flab to Fab Blogger Fitness Challenge.  If you have a moment go check out their progress.

Operation Healthy Mom - Week 2

This week I'm down 1.7 lbs.  I'm doing well with writing down my food and the water intake is going ok.  This week with Easter coming up and all of this candy I have  floating, currently in hiding, my goal is to limit myself on eating any of it.  

Starting Wed Edition - Operation Healthy Mom

Yesterday marked 8 weeks from having baby girl.  Wow - can't believe time has flown by that fast!!!  I've been thinking the past few days about getting serious about my weight loss.  Thankfully, I'm down to pre-pregnancy weight.  But I definitely have my fair share of weight to drop.  And needless to say, my eating the past 2 weeks has been crazy and I need to stop it now.

Every Wednesday I'm going to add in an exercise or lifestyle change and will share my progress from the previous week.  I don't have a specific # in my head of what I'd like to weigh, I just want to have a healthy BMI and where I feel good about myself.

This week I'm adopting the saying "Bite it, Write it" and also increasing my water intake.  I've gotten better with this since having baby girl because of nursing, but could def. drink some more.  I look forward to sharing my progress with you all.
