Amidst all of the insanity though, I have been doing a good job of keeping up with my diet today. Weight Watchers is a Godsend for someone like me. I love it. I am very excited to be doing it too. The points system helped me lose 90 pounds in the past, and go from this....
November 2006To this..... (I actually lost another 5 pounds after this one was taken.)
January 2010Now, I've gained some of that weight back for a lot of reasons since that picture was taken in January. And I'll be honest, I was eating too much, and not working out like I had been when that picture was taken. In May, I did a triathlon and came in fourth! As a treat for all of my hard training, I gave myself food. Again... and again... and again. Then the binging took hold, and, well, here we are...
September 2010I'm back to 155 pounds and I was feeling absolutely miserable. Until today. I feel awesome today! I had some egg whites with spinach, and lowfat waffles with fruit for breakfast (5 points) a deli turkey sandwich for lunch with steamed veggies, an apple and laughing cow cheese (4 points!!) and for dinner? Who knows? I am supposed to get 27 points right now since I'm still breastfeeding, but being that we're starting the weaning process, I've dropped it down to 22 points (that's how many I would have if I weren't breastfeeding).
As far as working out... no luck yet today. I have a munchkin with an ear infection, so I had to take him to the doctor during my workout time. Maybe I will fit in a run this evening with my oldest kiddo. We're going to do a 5k together in November. It will be her first race!! She's super excited! After this pregnancy, I'm going to get back into racing too. I like triathlons and half marathons... but I'm hoping that one day I'll be finishing the real deal :o)
