Week 8 Update and Photos!

So I was a little bummed at my weigh in this morning seeing only a 2lb drop but then I quickly realized that I noticed my capris were fitting quite a bit bigger and had a lot of extra room in them. Also all my other capris and shorts are bigger and some are TOO big and I bought them not too long ago. So that perked me right up, remember it's about inches ;-)

I took my 8 week pictures and I can really see a difference. The first set is with me letting it all hang out again. I know that even if I lose all my belly fat I would still have a pooch because my abdomen has been so stretched out from my babies and the extra skin. This is why I have requested a tummy tuck ;-) lol

I am excited to see what this next month brings and hope for great success. I have been struggling with a lot of temptation, A LOT!!! I have not given in though and I pray for the strength to continue to resist.

8 week mark.

Week 7 Finished

Some might think that a 2.5 loss isn't much but it sure is to me, especially seeing as how that T.O.M is about to start and I KNOW I am retaining a lot of water to prepare for it, that is just something that my body has always done. SO I am very happy with that number.

So a little look into this last week for me. Tuesday was my husbands birthday. I bought him a mini cake from a bakery and some cupcakes for our kids and some of his coworkers. My husbands was a chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting topped with caramel and toffee. Then for his birthday dinner he had some of OUR favorite  sushi. For his birthday cake I got him the very best carrot cake ever  made and ice cream, my favorite ever! And guess what??? I didn't have any of it, I didn't cheat at all! While everyone was having cake and cupcakes, I had my pudding. As my husband was inhaling the yummiest sushi I was having a grilled chicken salad, and while my kids and hubby were eating the most tantalizing cake on the planet I had one of my brownies. I can't believe I didn't budge, I am so proud of myself and if you all knew me you'd know that I just achieved the impossible for me ! hahahaha

So now I can sit here, type this, and feel no remorse what's so ever ;-) Now here is hoping for an even better week this week and much success!

Week 6 Done :)

Another 3.5 pounds gone and not cheating during the holiday!!! YAY! I hope this week is an even better week and I can fit into some more clothes that I have been dying to get into. I tried on my size 13 capris from 2 years ago and I could squeeze into them, I was all smiles :) I started out a tight 18, I love this feeling!!!

Ok lets keep this ball rolling and kill it!

Week 5

I forgot to post with all that has been going on with our move and the 4th of July. I lost 3.5 pounds but I lost more inches this time. I was non stop walking up and down stairs, lifting heavy boxes over and over and cleaning two houses. I burned a lot of fat and gained a lot of muscle so I am more than happy!

I do get the urge to cheat when treats are around or when I am late on my eating, so to fix those cravings and temptations I have a little of what I want :) Like when we have Doritios I will have ONE chip, yep just one :) And it is completely satisfying. I also haven't had to take my appetite suppressant pills for a while now, I am never hungry any more, unless I am late on my eating. I haven't done too well on my water intake but am for sure working on that! 

So as I see it, another very successful week!!!
