There has been a great clamoring for a weight loss update…there has been a great rumbling, groaning, and crying…but that’s mostly me. I’ve made a lifestyle change. I watch the food intake (calories, fat, and fiber) and I have started going to the gym for cardio exercise. I’m even eating real live vegetables!
Today marks the completion of my 7th week of focused weight loss concentration. To date I have lost….12 POUNDS! I now weigh 168.4 pounds as illustrated on my weight loss ticker over there on the right. I do update that weekly so even if I’ve not blogged you can still check up on me.
I dig the Weight Watchers plan because I get to count points. Everything has points; I can eat just so many points, when I exercise I earn points, so I’ve been point, point, pointing myself to a healthier reality. It’s kind of like a video game but without all that sitting in front of the TV with chips and soda and hmmm. It’s all very logical, compartmentalized, and neat…it makes my OCD so very happy.
A lot of it has just been learning to be comfortable with post baby body. I’m feeling a lot more confident. I’m feeling a lot more in control of myself. I’m not feeling like I want to sit around and ponder my place in the universe as much…it’s awesome. I’m also seeing that as I live my life instead of contemplating it, more pieces begin to settle into place.
Now, the part you’ve all been waiting for…in the interest of self humiliation, um er, I mean accountability I am including another charming phat photo of myself for the giggling masses.
Check me out in my Biggest Loser Style rocking the Mom bod...mustering up a smile and everything. Yeah go me!

My current weight loss goal is to lose 8 pounds by my July 6th weigh in. I want to be down to 160 pounds and 20 pounds of total weight lost.
I have not been writing as much because I’m trying to keep moving instead of spending all this face time with my beloved computer. I joined Facebook in the past few weeks though and I definitely feel a blog coming on about that very soon.
Thanks for checking in. Talk to you soon.
