Workout Tip.

I'm back on weight watchers and its going pretty well (until I had two scoops of Baskin Robbins on Friday night - 17 points. Yeah.).

I was on their website to look for workout tips and found this gem:

Brush and squeeze



Use the time that you're brushing your teeth to squeeze your butt muscles. Hold for one count and repeat. Do this trick in the morning and at night.

War With Weight - Update on WW

As you may remember, I started counting weight watcher points again on June 4. I got off to a little bit of a rocky start because my birthday was on the 7th, my dad's was on the 10th and then there was Father's Day. I am happy to report that as of today, I am down 8 lbs since starting WW again.

I know some ladies are down to their pre-preg weight quickly and some even say they find their weight BELOW their pre-preg weight because of the calories burned with breastfeeding. To them I say, oh be quiet! Just kidding, I'm just jealous.

Sometimes I wish I was a little bit taller, wish I was a baller, oh wait..I meant to say, I wish I was a little bit taller because I feel like when you are taller, your fat gets stretched out (in a good way). A 130 lb 5'2" woman looks quite different than a 5'7" 130 lb woman. I got the shorty gene from my mom so I got to work with what I got!

I'm down a total of 39 lbs since I had Charlie and I have 10.5 lbs to go until I am at my pre-preg/cabo weight. Unfortunately, this has had a bit of a negative affect on Charlie. More to come on that....

WW

I'm feeling inspired. Three of my friends are doing well losing weight and, well, I'm not. I was doing ok but now I'm up 3 lbs and getting frustrated with myself. I'm frustrated because I am not even trying. So starting tomorrow, I'm going to go back to counting weight watcher points. I'm not going to join (yet), just count the points at home. I need to check my paper at home, but I think I need to lose 17 lbs to get to where I was before. I'll find out and update my blog to keep me honest. I might even have Rob take pictures of me. I never did that on my prior weight loss journeys and wished I did.

And...I'm loving this bag at Anthropologie. They had a similar one last year that I almost bought but resisted temptation. They did it again this year with the big ass bow (love that big bow!) but it has a different pattern on the bag than last years.

*I'm updating this because I'm a liar. I went to Anthropologie last year to buy it but they didn't have it. I guess that doesn't really go into the "resisting temptation" category does it?
