It’s funny, my blog is about weight loss and weight maintenance and the posts that I write now about weight loss get less comments than the ones I post about books or my baby! But maybe it’s not me; I see a lot of blogs these days are getting fewer and fewer comments. I know that there are a handful of blogs that I read and still comment on but that’s gone way down, too. Maybe it’s just the nature of things.<\/p>\n

Anyways, I lost another pound this week! I was pretty excited to see the number on the scale – 170.\u00a0ALMOST\u00a0<\/em>to the 160 Land!<\/p>\n

Weigh-In\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n

When I stepped on the scale I was expecting the worst. I’d had a rough week last week. Some stress and major anxiety about something had me all out of sorts. I definitely turned to food for comfort, kind of like I used to in the “old days.” Stress eating sucks but I was so upset about something (and seriously, I was having panic attacks and breaking out in hives for four days) that I said “fuck it” and ate some junk food to make myself feel better.<\/p>\n

So when I decided to weigh myself I was expecting to see a gain, or at least, no change. I was quite surprised to see that I was down another pound. It kinda made me feel a little bit better about life stuff that has me down (a little bit, not much though).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Eating<\/span><\/h4>\n

Despite the little stress eating here and there in the last week (and the splurge at Dick’s Burgers<\/a>), I was actually doing really good with my food.<\/p>\n

When I work at home (three days a week), I eat a healthy breakfast<\/strong> — usually eggs and an English muffin — and I do not have any snacks in the morning. The next meal is lunch. This is kind of the opposite of when I work in the office. I usually have a mid-morning snack of fruit or veggies and then an afternoon snack of string cheese or fruit, etc.<\/p>\n

Lunches<\/strong> at home are pretty healthy — usually leftovers or salad or a sandwich. Lunches at work right now are a frozen meal. Not the best choice but I have so much CRAP I have to haul to work in order to pump that I just can’t pack much by way of food and it’s easier to do the Lean Cuisine instead. The upside to this is that it’s portion controlled<\/strong> and I know how many calories I’m eating.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

1700 calories a day is still my base.<\/p>\n

Like I said in the last post about weight loss, I’m also limiting my liquid calories to only a few times a week. I drink coffee (it’s a must when you’re waking up at 1 am and 4 am to feed a baby!! and then he wakes us up at 6 am like clockwork!!) but it’s one cup. At work I make 1 cup of black coffee and add some creamer to it (so not a high calorie drink like a mocha or something). At home I walk to the nearby coffeeshop to get my iced coffee, so I’m burning some calories in order to get it. Bonus!<\/p>\n

Exercise<\/span><\/h4>\n

I’m slowly getting back into running! I am slower than molasses–it really doesn’t even qualify as jogging, it’s more like speed walking for a block, then walk, then speed walk then walk and so on. But it’s something and it gets my heart rate up a little bit higher than just walking. Also, when Logan and I go for walks we\u00a0do a route that is pretty hilly so I burn a little bit more than usual. There are tons of hills in our neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Still doing my gym routine and getting back into weightlifting more (and having to increase the weights because they were getting too easy!).<\/p>\n

The above was a big calorie burn! It was weight lifting, PT exercises for my back, body weight exercises, and the elliptical.<\/p>\n

On the running front, I did not make it to the 5k I signed up for. \ud83d\ude41 I was bummed about that but it was for the best. I had gone back to running too soon postpartum, I think, and my body just hurt so I stopped and I’ve been doing physical therapy for my back to get back into shape for it. Since I didn’t get any training in for it I decided not to try and run.<\/p>\n

Michael was signed up for the race, too, and so he ran it and gave my spot to a friend to run with him.<\/p>\n

The last race Michael ran was his first one with me, last summer<\/a>. When I was about 8 weeks pregnant, no one knew I was pregnant yet, I was recovering from hurting my back and I was suffering from horrible morning sickness! But still I was able to run it with him. Oh well. \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n

Michael\u2019s Run Time 2015: 29:18<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michael’s Run Time this weekend: 23:13<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wow! What a change! I’m so proud of him! I’m sure the 5k was super easy considering he’s now used to running like 7 miles a couple times a week.<\/p>\n

I’m really hoping I can participate in the 5k we signed up for next month. Time will tell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
