I’m sure everyone has given up on me and there is absolutely no one reading this. Heck, I almost gave up on this blog myself. I seriously have considered ditching this and solely updating our family blog only. But then I was thinking I would try this again. In case there actually is someone reading this that doesn’t know me personally…here’s a quick update:
On June 10th I had the most beautiful baby boy! So, I’ve been running around here half asleep for the past 9 weeks! During my pregnancy I gained somewhere between 45 and 55 pounds. I’m not exactly sure because I honestly didn’t pay much attention to my starting weight. I was thinking I could ask my doctor at my next appointment, but I suppose it really doesn’t matter at this point. I would have gladly gained 100 pounds for this little guy…
Anyways, now it’s time to crack the whip and get back into my old pants. I’m really sick of pants with elastic waste bands…I’m 30-something, not 90. So, last night I decided that I would join Weight Watchers. I’d been going back and forth between just signing up for online access only or meetings, but finally decided that I would buy the monthly pass so I could attend meetings as well. I know I could do this on my own, but I like the idea of having the accountability for weighing in each week. I’m also going to try tracking my food through my blog again. Two ways to keep myself accountable. Now, I’m not guaranteeing a full blown post daily, but I’m hoping to at least post photos daily. I can even do that from my phone.
I’m not sure what my goal weight is yet. I have a couple of numbers in my head. In all honesty, the number on the scale doesn’t really concern me as much as being able to fit into my pants. I was happy where I was before getting pregnant…no, I wasn’t “skinny”, but I felt good. I know I’ll need to set a goal for WW purposes, so when I figure it out I will let you know.
I’ll be posting again tonight with my food journal.
