Well, the scale settled in a little lower today, although still not at my low from last Sunday. So unless there is some kind of miracle between now and tomorrow, I will show a gain for the Swimsuit Challenge this week. Bummer.
I shipped our suitcases to Florida last week because I knew it'd be too much to juggle the luggage along with the kids at the airports. It wasn't easy to find warm-weather stuff for me to wear. I have a LOT of clothes for about 20 pounds from now. I won't need to buy a thing if I can lose that fairly quickly, I'll be set for the summer. In the meantime, I have one pair of capris (and I HATE capris because I'm short and they make me look even shorter) and a bunch of shirts. So there's another good reason to get this weight loss going.
I'm planning to do lots of good walks with my mom while we're down there. She often walks three miles a day, and I'm looking forward to putting the baby in the stroller and walking to Starbucks and back with her. That should get me into better shape, which will give me a little more confidence to start formal workouts again.
As for the band, it has loosened up. Still tighter than I'd like, but tolerable now. I can eat solids, just v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y.
Thanks for the comments about my son. The pediatrician gave me a couple names to call and I'll see how that goes.
Don't worry Kristin... with the warmer weather you will be outside alot more.. and Florida is perfect this time of year.. I hope to get down in early May for some R&R... pack light.. there's plenty of great shopping.. also just consider these your in between clothes.. Enjoy.. keep us updated.. hugs and travel safely.
ReplyDeleteHave a blast in Florida! Smart to send the suitcases ahead of you. I remember those days of traveling with young ones. I hope you get lots of rest (Grandma's are always good for helping take the load off and help with the kids) get some sun and we can compare tan lines!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI might post some when I get back from Hawaii!
Kristin, sorry, I will email you the names.. just a busy weekend so far. I hope you are having a great trip and my scale is WAY up today so I feel your pain. I was too scared to even do a challenge. I'm just chicken. :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad the band is loosening up a bit and hope you are feeling better and better.
