Bye-Bye Baby Weight - Week 6

Photobucket
Yikes...we spent the weekend in the Outer Banks and its taken me a day or so to get my life back in order and start catching up on the blogging I've missed so I'm a day late!!!  I'm linking up with Tami over at "Little Moments Like This" to share my weekly update on my post-baby weight loss!  If you're also in the process of trying to take off a few pounds and live a little healthier you too should link up with everyone else or just head over and share some words of encouragement!

This Week's Loss/Gain: +1.4
Total Weight Loss: 24.0
Weight to Go: 26.0

Food:  I really think the weekend did me in and I'm really ok with that...I was on vacation after all!  I did only eat dessert once but the cinnamon rolls I had in the morning and all of the high calorie foods I thoroughly enjoyed throughout the day totally messed me up.  I actually had a good week and was down some going into the weekend...looks like I have some work to do this week! 

Fitness:  I was able to squeeze in 3 workouts this week but didn't complete Week 4 of Couch to 5k this week - I got 2 days done but still have the last one!

Week 5:

Monday - nothing
Tuesday - nothing
Wednesday - nothing
Thursday - Day 1 of Week 4 of Couch to 5k
Friday - Day 2 of Week 4 of Couch to 5k
Saturday - nothing
Sunday - 1.5 mile walk

Work out 3 times this week
- Complete 25 sit-ups three days this week
Eat breakfast every morning
Only have dessert once this week
Drink more water and no soda


This Week's Goals:
Work out 3 times this week - I've done so well with this the past few weeks and I know its been the one thing to really help me shed some of the pounds and tone my body.
Complete 25 sit-ups three days this week - I did not do this at all this week which is pretty pathetic!  I really need to work on re-shaping my stomach muscles and tightening up that area!
Eat breakfast every morning - This was actually easier than I thought last week and it certainly helps me snack less in the morning at work.
Only have dessert once this week - If I made it last week despite being on vacation - I can do it this week for sure!
Drink more water and no soda.

I'm giving myself a pass this week because the weekend was a total bust with being on vacation!  It would have been nice to not gain weight this week but I feel confident I can get this weight off if I just get back to the basics!

Losing the weight after a baby is not an easy job. I'm fighting this same battle right now.
Your baby girl is a doll, by the way :-)

I need to follow your schedule! Congrats on sticking with it! I need to get to bed earlier so I can wake up before the kids and get my butt in gear!! :)

Ahh..I didn't link up this week either. I gained 2 pounds, too! Not the direction I need to be going in. I think gaining only 1 pound on vacation really is something to celebrate.

I never lose weight when I'm on vacation! Don't worry too much about it- you did good sticking with Couch to 5k. I'm back at Week 2 because I took so long off. I hope I stick to it...
