Weight Check In #1

Wednesday November 6th- 166 lbs
Wednesday November 13th- 163.8

Goal Check In:

  • I lost 2.2 pounds this week! The optimist in me hopes this will be a pattern, while the cynic in me thinks it means next week I won't lose any weight lol we shall see. 
  • I worked out 4 times this past week- alternating between running (2.5 and 3 miles) and 21 Day Fix videos. I have a hard time finding time to workout, and 30 minutes seems to be the max amount of time I have, so these videos are really perfect.
  • Still breastfeeding and pumpin' like a champ! I read somewhere that every ounce of milk you produce burns 25 calories. If that is the case then I'm burning like, 500-600 calories a day. I nurse when Henry wakes up, before I drop him off with my mom, pump twice at school, nurse when I pick Henry up, and before he goes to bed. I think I produce 20-24 ounces of milk a day. It is a fine balance to eat enough to keep my milk coming in strong while also trying to lose weight.

Definitely not super happy with the saggy tummy skin, but friends have told me it takes skin awhile to tighten back up after pregnancy. I love that tummy though, it carried my son! I thank this body everyday for the greatest gift I could ever receive.

I've gotten such positive feedback from my last post! I cannot express how happy the texts, messages, and Facebook comments made me! What a great community I have surrounding me! I have had a lot of requests to post a clean eating grocery list. There are a ton you can find on Pinterest or in any paleo book you buy. Here are just the basic things I get on my weekly shopping trip. **Keep in mind with meat, poultry and seafood: look for grass-fed, free-range, or wild-caught. Sometimes I have a hard time finding them, so just do your best!  Meat/Poultry/Seafood: Grass-fed ground beef Chicken drumsticks or thighs Salmon Tilapia Bacon  Dozen Eggs Vegetables: Broccoli Cucumber Zucchini Squash Bell Peppers Jalapeno Brussel Sprouts  Spinach  Leafy lettuce Onion Tomato Avocado Fruits : Green apples Berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries) Lemon Other: Egg White protein powder Olives Olive oil Coconut oil Coffee Yellow m...

Atomic Habits Bullet Points

 CH 1: 1% analogy- focus small Progress- an ice cube doesn't melt, even when it heats up from 20-31 degrees, that one degree makes a difference, however, the other 11 degrees weren't wasted effort, they were stored progress/potential Plateau of Latent Potential - where most people give up- right on the cusp of success Forget Goals- focus on system instead The goal takes care of itself when the systems are in place Goals met are temporary and at odds with long term progress (yo-yoing)
