I hit a BIG goal today!

233.6.  Skinny people are like "wtf that's still fat" but I'm |  | <-- that far away from doing cartwheels! That's 100lbs less than my pre pregnancy weight with Lila.  It's 150lbs less than my weight the day before I gave birth to her.  This is a Big F*cking Deal to quote Mr Biden.

Now, I've had a huge drop (7lbs) in 2 days.  I'm gonna say it again "no one loses 7lbs in 2 days. " It just doesn't happen.  But I think it does show how much water retention I had.  I even had some cheesecake yesterday lol.  

I've been melancholy lately, this is inspiration for me to get back on the wagon with my workouts.  At the same time, I think it shows that rest days are pretty damn important.  I took a little break and now I'm back!  

I'd also like to mention calories burnt while nursing.  Little Miss has stepped it up lately waking multiple times at night.  I'm sure that didn't hurt! Along with that I stepped up the water, down the carbs and added Shakeology.  For real.  I'm convinced that helped me break this 6 week plateau.

 I know I lost a lot of weight this month, but 1 I have a lot to lose, it comes off faster for me, and 2) This is what I do.. Big losses, then a plateau.  Big losses, then a plateau.



Anyway, I'm pretty happy today.  I have a new to me shirt (which puts me at having 3 that fit) that my neighbor gave me last month.  It didn't fit then, but I wore it well yesterday! I have a pair of size 20R jeans that sooo do not fit.  I can put them on, but it's not pretty.  I'm a 20W kinda girl.  So I've got the new goal.  I haven't worn a size 20 since early high school, for real.  I'll try to get some pics later.

    1. Thanks for stopping in! 250 was my pre pregnancy weight for my big girl back when I was 19! What's your plan? I'm thinking of doing a challenge/accountability group for May. Stay tuned for details if you'd like to join!
