Weight Check in #5

Wednesday November 6th- 166 lbs
Wednesday March 25th- 149.5 lbs


Okay so in 20 weeks I've lost almost 17 pounds! It was less than my goal, but I am very happy with how things have gone. Of course life throws unexpected challenges in front of us, especially as a new mom who works full time, and I truly think I made things work as best as I could. I wanted to be mid 140's by now, but I am *barely* even in the 140's currently! Oh well, just gotta keep moving forward.

Original Goals:
  • Lose between 1 and 1.5 pounds a week.
  • I would like to be 145 by mid to late March
  • Workout 3-4 times a week
  • Continue breastfeeding/pumping until July
  • Be a healthy momma for my little boy!
Goals moving forward:
  • Lose 2 pounds a month
  • Weight 140 by Henry's 1st birthday! 
  • Workout 4-5 times a week
  • Continue breastfeeding until Henry's 1st birthday
  • Be a healthy momma for my little boy!

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)
