Wednesdays
It’s Wednesday again, and that means it’s weigh in day at the Sisterhood. This has been one of the longest weeks of my life. It seems like a lifetime ago that I wrote my last check in post. Since then, I’ve hurt my knee, and miraculously healed my knee; rode in an ambulance, seen my son hooked up to oxygen, and laughed with joy to see he had enough air in his lungs to throw a proper tantrum; nearly inhaled a bag of M&Ms, and exhaled deeply and walked away from the bag of chocolatey goodness.
My non-scale victory this week:
That I didn’t let this last week throw me off. When we got home from the hospital I got right back into it. It was hard — all I wanted to do was lounge around and make homemade macaroni and cheese and eat chocolate and snuggle under blankets with my kids. There has been plenty of snuggling. But there’s also been working out, and healthy foods, and making the right choices in the face of temptation.
THE WEIGH IN
start (11/17): 163.0
last week (11/24): 160.0
this week (12/1): 158.0
week loss: 2 pounds
total loss: 5 pounds
This is officially the lightest I’ve been in three and a half years. I weighed 159 the day I got pregnant with Harry. I’m in uncharted territory now, and it feels pretty good!
woohoo
sounds like in the face of a challenge, you’re really showing that you’ve got it all together.
Holy crap, girl!! You were faced with all of that and you still lost 2 lbs?? Way to go! So proud of you!
Wow! You overcome all those obstacles & still came out on top! I’m incredibly jealous! WTG!
You are amazing! Enjoy the uncharted territory, you will rock it!
Congrats, Karena! The SBD is agreeing with your body. Awesome job for getting back on the wagon when it would have been so easy to fall off. And seriously? 39 days until Disney? That’s scary. I don’t like that widget over there.
I am SO not ready for Disney!! Starting to really freak out about it! I know I need to trust my training and all that, but it’s getting awfully real for me now!
Congratulations!!!! You totally rocked this week!
Awesome job overcoming every kind of obstacle AND hitting a new low! I’m impressed and inspired!
I’m so proud of you for maintaining control even when you had so much to deal with. Way to go, Karena!!! You’re doing an amazing job, and I’m so excited to see you in uncharted territory! WOOHOOO!!!!!!
Whooohooo!! You are rockin’ this challenge, girl!! So proud of you for kicking those stresses out the dorr and dealing with them properly! Glad your baby is ok and you are back home working your arse off!! Take care of your knees…you are gonna need them to properly celebrate your race in January!!
Honey, considering the week you had, 2 pounds is AMAZING! I’m so proud of you!
Way to go! Great job Karena!
5 lbs in 2 weeks is great! WTG!
