Phoebe Is Growing!

Phoebe is growing and growing. She has grown out of a lot of her newborn clothes, but she doesn't fit into the 3 months clothes very well yet. She is very in between sizes. She is smiling a lot more. Everyone keeps commenting on her eyelashes. She gets those from her dad!

We had an interesting night last night. She didn't take a nap in the afternoon so she slept from six pm to four am and was awake until about four forty five but I couldn't fall back asleep until five thirty. It's so weird. I hate getting up at four in the morning. I wonder how old she will be when she starts to sleep through the night the way that I like to sleep through the night or if it will ever happen. Here are some pictures!

Weigh In 5

Ok so another week goes by and here it is:

Previous weight: 185.6
Current weight: 183.2
Total weight loss this week: 2.4
Total weight loss: 15.0

So I have three weeks left and 5lbs to go. I am pretty confident that I will make it to my goal. I have been constantly losing, and I haven't reached a plateau yet. I hope that I don't soon. I feel like I have been working hard to lose this weight and as soon as I lose these next 5lbs my clothes will fit a LOT better. I still have a pair of my small jeans tucked away in the drawer that I hope to put on some day soon, but I will have to lose at least another 20lbs before I can do that! I'm going to try! We'll see what happens. Hopefully I can get into them this summer.

Weigh In 4

Okay so I've made it to week four which means I'm halfway through for my goal. Here are this weeks results:

Previous weight: 187.8
Current weight: 185.6
Total weight loss this week: 2.2
Total weight loss: 12.6

I knew this week wasn't going to be as great as last week because of Mack's birthday and other stuff, so I'm just happy I lost anything at all. This next week should have better results. A few more pounds and more of my clothes will start fitting! Bah!

So Phoebe had her two month appointment and she did really good. She now weighs 10.1 and is 23 inches long. She is in the 50 percentile for her weight and the 75 percentile for her height. I think she is going to be pretty tall. She had her first set of shots done as well. I had to leave the room because I couldn't bear to watch it, but I heard her scream anyways. I felt so bad for her because the rest of the day, if she wasn't sleeping, she was crying because she was so uncomfortable. I felt so helpless! It sucks knowing something is wrong and being able to do very little to help! On the positive side, she didn't run a fever and she was pretty normal the next day.

Cousin Avery loves to play with Phoebe. She wants to crawl in her carseat with her. She was poking her head in there and accidentally head butted Phoebe, who started to cry. It was kinda funny. When we were at the gym I covered Phoebe's carseat with my sweatshirt so she could sleep and Avery kept lifting it up, I think it was to make sure the baby was still in there. It will be interesting to see how they will react next year with each other as they get older.

Weigh In 3

Okay its Friday again so time to weight in! Here are this weeks results..... (drumroll)


Previous weight: 192.6
Current weight: 187.8
Weight loss this week: 4.8
Total weight loss: 10.4

So I'm a lot happier with the results this week and I hope that I can keep it up. I'm ahead of my goal right now but that could change next week. I really hope that it doesn't though!

Phoebe started to smile...here are some pictures I tried to get! Enjoy!

Weigh In 2

Previous weight: 195.4
Current weight: 192.6
Total weight lost this week: 2.8 (again)
Total weight lost: 5.6

So I am declining slowly. I tried harder this week, but it didn't seem to help much. I was disappointed that I didn't lose more because I was feeling really proud about how good I was. I figured that I would have to lose at least 2.5 lbs a week to meet my goal. I am on track so far, so I will keep it up and hope that it continues.

Wish me luck!

Weigh In!

Ok so it's been one week since I started my diet and here are the results:

Previous weight: 198.2
Current weight: 195.4
Total weight loss: 2.8

Ok so that's like hardly any weight at all so I have decided that I need to add more green vegetables. Here are some of the green veggies that I like: green beans, asparagus, spinach, lettuce, and zucchini. I don't like peas. If anyone has suggestions of other green veggies or good healthy recipes that include green veggies please share!

I also am going to replace skinny cows with fat free chocolate pudding.

Hopefully all this helps! If anyone has post-pregnancy weight loss tips I would appreciate it!

Thank you All!
