Weekly Wednesday Weigh-In: 16 Weeks Postpartum

1. Reiterate my goal and where I stand in reference to this goal. (BMI info from this website)

Starting weight: 149 (Down from 168 the day before I gave birth to Baby G.)
Goal Weight: 125
Last Week's Weight: 150
Current Weight: 148

Starting BMI: 27.2
Goal BMI: 22.9
Last Week's BMI: 27.4
Current BMI: 27.1

2. Discuss what I am going to do to achieve my goals.

Progress on last week's activities:
It was still too hot to go for any walks and because we had to try and keep our house clean, we either ate out or we got take out. I'm changing that one to taking the stairs instead of the elevator after work. I have done a little better with my water intake, especially after the middle-of-the-night feedings. I think I'm thirsiest then. And of course I went to pole class! I know how to do all the spins, but the cardio and ab work we do in class still kicks my butt.
Activities for this coming week:
1. Walk down the stairs instead of using elevator after work.
2. Eat a home cooked meal 3 times this week.
3. Snack on veggies and fruit instead of cookies and brownies.
4. Drink at least 8oz of water each after each nursing/pumping session.
5. Pole class 1 time this week.

4. Post a (reasonably healthy) recipe that I've tried, a cooking tip, a new idea for working out for people to try, a photo update of my weight loss, or anything else I feel like sharing.

I missed last week! I weight myself but didn't get the chance to weigh-in. I was back down to 149. I was so surprised to see 148 on the scale this morning. I weigh myself almost everyday and this number has appeared more often lately. I think if I could walk more often I wouldn't be seeing 149/150 as much.

But even better is that I think I'm getting definition in my thighs again! I can't really see it, but I can feel it. I think it is all the squatting and baby lifting I do now.
