Back up to 154. GRRR

I cannot seem to get to the 140's! I did spin yesterday and lifted and I was starving all day, and stayed at 1300 calories. I burned 600 calories during my workout, according to my heart rate monitor. And my reward is gaining almost 2 pounds? I am done lifting, except for the 2 sessions I have with my trainer left. I now remember why I don't typically lift weights. I lose faster when I am doing cardio and pilates/yoga. So back to that. I looked back at when I was losing after Kellen was born, and I was doing 3-4 hours of cardio each week. So back to that goal. I am at 1175 for the day. Almost bed time, so I will probably call it a night.

152.2

So I lost 1.6 pounds. YAY! I so want to get in the 140's by May 4. That gives me 2.4 pounds to lost in 1 1/2 weeks. I had a workout with my trainer today, and I can tell I am getting sore. I worked out pretty hard. Monday I did 45 min on the elliptical and abs. Sunday I ran 2 miles. Tomorrow is spin class and I need to lift again. I made dark chocolate sea salt brownies for admin prof day tomorrow and Lee is taking the to work. But I ate two. Other than that I did a good job eating.

Disapointed

I am still at 153. I thought for sure I would be down a pound or two today. Hopefully tomorrow. I am getting paranoid that I won't lose anymore weight! I did the elliptical for 45 minutes today and abs. I did a few leg exercises, but Lila was not happy in the daycare. Kellen was at school and this was her first time there alone. When I checked on her, she was crying and stroking her hair (which she does to comfort herself) so I got her and we left. It doesn't look like it is going to rain, so I think I will walk to pick up Kellen. That will give me another 35 or 40 minutes of cardio. I really want to be down to 152 tomorrow!

Spin class today

I took my first spin class since I got pregnant with Lila and it felt good! My bodybugg said I burned 200 calories in the 30 minute class, which I thought was on the low side. It supposedly doesn't measure cycling well. I want to wear my heart rate monitor next time. I have about 300 calories left for a snack before bed. Yesterday I was at 1200 calories, and did 1 hour of weights with the trainer. The hour went by so fast! I only had time to do 15 min on the elliptical before I had to get the kids home for dinner. I heard Lila shrieking from the daycare! I really want to be by 152 by Friday and would love to be at 150 by next Friday.

153 on Friday

And I started my period that day, so not bad. I met with my trainer on Tuesday and it was just a consult. My body fat is 31 or 33%. I don't remember which one. I actually thought it would be over 35% so it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. He seemd to think I could get down to 18-20% body fat. I am afraid of the diet he is going to recommend next Tuesday so I have kind of been eating like crap! He wants me to be losing 2-3 pounds a week, which would be nice. Better than my 1 pound a week average. Tonight we are going to a work event, so I will be pigging out on BBQ I am sure!

Back up to 154

I did not track calories Sunday or Monday. Or go for a run because my foot is bothering me. I think it is all those downward dogs and planks I have been doing. But I am meeting with my trainer in about 45 minutes! And I have been very careful today. I have got to get rid of the mac and cheese and carrot cake tonight!

153!

I have lost 25 pounds total since Halloween! Only 15 pounds of baby weight left. Then maybe 10-15 after that. I was at 1300 yesterday and went to a Pilates class. Today is Easter and I am hosting. I am going to try to get a run in and not eat too much! Mac and cheese and carrot cake will be my weakness!

An updated pic

This was on Lila's 1st birthday. The pic is a little close but I am looking a little better.

1350

I am over today because of a glass of wine. I took the kids to the zoo with a friend today so I did a lot of walking.

1350 all week

I think I need to be posting everyday, because I am definitely eating too much. If I can be at 1200 tops, I will definitely be losing faster. And Easter is this weekend at our house, and I will making carrot cake and mac and cheese, huge weaknesses for me. Tuesday night I ran 2 miles. I wanted to run more, but my foot was starting to hurt. Yesterday I took hatha yoga and today piyo. I made an appt with a trainer for Tuesday afternoon so I am excited about that. Today- Breakfast burrito. Then I had a slight binge and had a kids clif Z bar for 110 calories, string cheese and some baked ruffles. Lunch was cilantro rice, black beans, cheese, avocado and sour cream. Homemade burrito bowl. I also had about a third of the soft taco that I made Lila. That girl can eat! I wish I could be in the 25% and eat like her! Dinner- I am making 7up and sour cream biscuits (so good) and white chicken chili. I only have 275 calories left for dinner - darn big! I will be going over again. Oh, and I am down to 154.6. I want to get down to the 140's by May 1.

155

Yesterday I weighed 155. I am hoping to be down to 153 by Friday. Saturday I are right at 1200 calories. Yesterday I was good until we decided to get frozen yogurt after dinner, so I ended the day at 1350. I did not run this weekend since I am letting my foot rest. I am hoping to run one day this week and this weekend. I am planning on going to yoga 3-4 times this week. Something great about that is that yoga does not make me hungry! I am really sore after a workout, and definitely building muscle, but I can watch my calories close. When I workout at the gym, I am starving afterward and that's when I can down 400 calories of pita chips and hummes!
