I've been wearing size 22s for such a long time. Years and years and a few times bought 24s. It was nice to get a pair of 20s. And they're not even tight. Also, this shirt always accented my belly, giving it the pregnant look. No longer the case! #NSV #weightlossjourney #weightloss #fitness #fitfam #teampineapple #healthychoices #eatingbetter #losingweight #teampineapple #exercise #beforeandafter

Yesterday was the first day since Jan 11 that I didn't hit 10,000. And I'm ok with that. Didn't feel up to walking in the morning then worked then drove over an hour to visit my FIL in hospital and back and would have only had half an hour before midnight. I decided it was a good day for a rest day. The scale dropped a little from my higher end of fluctuation down to nearly my low weight level. I'm back at it today! #fitbit #weightlossjourney #weightloss #fitness #fitfam #teampineapple #healthychoices #eatingbetter #losingweight #teampineapple #exercise

I had good intentions today but then my meals ended up being carb heavy pantry meals thanks to not going grocery shopping lately. I was very low on steps and stayed home from the gym to clean house. Then we got some tough news about my FIL's diabetes complications. I was (am) pretty shook up. I just wanted to veg out and watch tv with all the valentine and Super Bowl candy and shut my brain off. Or bake a batch of brownies to help me hubby feel better. Then somehow my mind flashed forward to 2 future mes. One was struggling with her weight and trying to get back on track and mentioning how "I was doing ok until dad's surgery when I lost focus". The other future me was healthy and celebrating maintaining goal and was saying "I was doing ok until dad had his surgery and I decided it was even more important for myself and my family to get healthy so I kicked life into gear and fought hard!" Then I got up got a glass of water and started a workout DVD.
Thought I might let myself break my 10,000 step streak tonight but didn't.

I logged all the food! Had a low calorie day for a change. Most days are 1500 minimum but I can handle a few 1200-1300 here and there. Breakfast was protein shake. Morning snack 1egg+1white, laughing cow cheese we've and a tomato. Lunch was soup, fried onions and carrots. Snack was coffee and almonds. Dinner was pasta with cream of mushroom soup, sausage and mushrooms, with veggies on the side. I specifically made the recipe to make 5 300 cal servings. One for hubby and I each for dinner, one for the kids to share for dinner and 2 for leftovers. #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories #mfp #mfp #myfitnesspal #lowcarb #countingcalories #fitfam #losingweight #teampineapple
Pretty slow day so was behind in steps. Restarted the Just Walk DVD after the first 32 minutes, then completed it. For the last 10-20 mins Penny rode on my back, adding to the challenge. #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #fitness #cardio #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #nogymneeded #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise #justwalk #lesliesansone #workoutathome #teampineapple #bobacarrier

So keeping it real here, I have not been on food-track much at all lately. So many snacks! Oh so much snacking. I haven't logged much lately either. I've been hitting fitness goals, so that's good. I just need to focus on food! Tomorrow is a new day, a new week, the first day of my new schedule at work. I will log it all tomorrow!!! #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories #mfp #mfp #myfitnesspal #lowcarb #countingcalories #fitfam #losingweight #teampineapple

After working and driving and sitting at a hospital most of the day, I thought I wouldn't hit my goal for the first time in over a month but I made it happen! #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #fitness #cardio #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #nogymneeded #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise #workoutathome #teampineapple

I love working out with my sister @raycheeree at the #gym! This is us at nearly 10 mins on the stair climber (I was accidentally on level 2 and nearly died.) We had not reached our daily 10,000 step goal in the parking lot when we got to the gym! #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #gym #fitness #physiq #elliptical #cardio #fitfam #teampineapple #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise
In a training at work (from home) today so all day conference call, makes standing and walking in place possible. Went on break and got 5 fast minutes in after letting the dog out and the rest on the conference call. Will do another stint after awhile. Sometimes you make time and sometimes you find time. I did the same thing yesterday and nearly met my goal before I got off work! #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #fitness #cardio #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #nogymneeded #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise #workoutathome #teampineapple

Evening walk instead of a workout DVD because I wanted it and the living room was a mess and the kids were watching a DVD. It's dark out though so I could only walk back and forth a thousand times at the top of our driveway where it is lit well. #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #fitness #cardio #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #nogymneeded #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise #workoutathome #teampineapple
Woke up to another .5 down on the scale yesterday and then hosted a party for like 40 people for my daughters 5th birthday. Many of them mentioned my weight loss. (The 32 lbs not the .5 lb) it felt great at the moment, but I'm reminded of @andiemmitchell 's comments in her book about how she got a lot more attention after losing weight and that weight or body size or look doesn't define a person and doesn't make them worthy of attention or praise. Praise me for my amazing party throwing skills, my nearly perfect parenting (that was a joke) my attention to details. One of my pet peeves is when the only subject of conversation with my daughters is something related to their clothing or hair , that is not who she is! Discuss her invention ideas, ask about her favorite books, ask her how she feels about [fill in the blank] don't just mention how pretty her dress is or how much you love her boots. Praise each other for what matters in life. #nobs #weightlossjourney #weightloss #fitness #fitfam #teampineapple #healthychoices #eatingbetter #losingweight #teampineapple
Read this book last night and I'm so glad I did! I am pretty body confident but not always body- respectful and this is so great at gently (and not so gently) encouraging you to respect yourself! It's perfect for women (not just moms but there's an entire section on body changes with birth) of all shapes and sizes! @peachiemoms @amazonkindle version available for instant download. #nobs #bodylove #plussizemom

I keep thinking this is the day I break my 10,000 plus steps streak (today is 1 full month!) because I'm too busy to take time for a walk/workout but I keep being able to make it (just barely sometimes) ! I walked the full 15 minutes of my team meeting today (conference call, I work from home) and between calls a few times, then did my 45 min Leslie Sansone video walk workout. Tomorrow I will need to take advantage of any time between calls or meetings to walk in place because I'll be busy after work driving an hour each way to see my FIL at the hospital post surgery. #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #fitness #cardio #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #nogymneeded #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise #workoutathome #teampineapple

Breakfast today was quick and so yummy! I love love love these #coconutchips dangerous I could eat the entire bag! Instead I measured my 30g and put the bag away! #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories #mfp #mfp #myfitnesspal #lowcarb #countingcalories #fitfam #losingweight #teampineapple

Good morning! I've been neglecting my housework in favor of party prep and working out so I had to get some cleaning done before I'd let myself go out to walk. This is awesome because I used to be happy for a good excuse to skip working out! #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #fitness #cardio #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #nogymneeded #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise #workoutathome #teampineapple

Found a walk-workout DVD at the @dollar_tree_ and while it was clearly a dollar tree item, it wasn't bad. The pace was a bit faster than I wanted, and the music wasn't motivational but it was a decent workout and some different moves than the Leslie Sansone one I have. I had to stop early because the baby needed me, but that's ok! I walked for 35 this morning too. #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #fitness #cardio #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #nogymneeded #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise #workoutathome #teampineapple
Good morning! Had a choice to go back to bed for another hour or get dressed and go for a walk. It's a beautiful morning for a walk! #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #fitness #cardio #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #nogymneeded #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise #workoutathome #teampineapple

After my splurge yesterday and a couple days before going just over my calories, I'm only up .4 lb. and I can fluctuate up that much easily so I'm happy! Going to get back in gear and stay on track all week. Going to the gym this morning and will cut back to 1400 calories for a few days. #weightlossjourney #weightloss #fitness #fitfam #teampineapple #healthychoices #eatingbetter #losingweight #teampineapple #exercise
Hosting a Super Bowl party in our downstairs shop(we live in a loft apartment upstairs) meant for a lot of trips up and down the stairs and a lot of steps overall. I didn't need any exercise to meet my Fitbit goals today. This food picture only shows 2/3 of the food not counting desserts at our party (not pictured is the other table full of hot dogs/polish sausages/hotlinks chili and nachos. I ate too much and drank too much and ended up feeling yucky sick and gassy later, I can definitely tell that I've been eating healthy when I have an off day like this. The food was good but not worth it. Today was my planned "don't count calories" day so I'm not allowed to care. #sb50 #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories #mfp #mfp #myfitnesspal #lowcarb #countingcalories #fitfam #losingweight #teampineapple

I told myself I didn't HAVE to hit my step/active minutes goal today, that I can't be perfect every day and it's all balance. I was content with not getting up after nursing the baby to sleep to just walk about in place or start a walk DVD. But then my phone battery was dying and I had to get up to get my charger. Then my lizard needed water. So I decided I will eventually miss my goal and when I do it'll be ok, but that day is not today. I only had to walk in place for about 7 minutes before climbing back into bed for a busy day tomorrow hosting a massive Super Bowl party. #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #fitness #cardio #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #nogymneeded #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise #workoutathome #teampineapple
After my workout I was looking for something and had to reach up and sort of balance and felt that my side seemed weird? Like toned and leaner and stronger than usual. Could be just the odd way I was stretching but I think it is #progress. #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #fitness #cardio #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #nogymneeded #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise #workoutathome #teampineapple
#Lunch today. Thinking of #pizza I added turkey pepperoni cheese red chili flakes and parsley to my chinky tomato soup and it was delicious and easy. #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories #mfp #mfp #myfitnesspal #lowcarb #countingcalories #fitfam #losingweight #teampineapple
Jack in the Box grilled chicken salad doctored up. Measured my own low cal dressing, added chia seeds avocado and crispy onions. #didntorderamunchymeal #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories #mfp #mfp #myfitnesspal #lowcarb #countingcalories #fitfam #losingweight #teampineapple

This is 15 weeks apart. Posting on actual #facetofacefriday and I know I just did a face to face pic the other day but this one is different and in some ways better. #transformation #fitspiration #weightloss #fitness #fitfam #teampineapple #beforeandafterweightloss #healthychoices #eatingbetter #losingweight #teampineapple #exercise #beforeandafter
This was my higher calorie/carb day, my body was asking for it so I gave what it asked for. I didn't take pics of breakfast or lunch (that's my daughters breakfast minus a sausage). I had 1 eggo with 1TBS cream cheese (no jam) and 2 turkey links and a sf oatmeal cookie. Lunch was McDonald's artisan grilled chicken sandwich with only half bun and half order med fries and unsweet tea. Then I was really wanting (and felt like needing) sugar and caffeine so had a medium frappe and really savored it. I haven't had a blended coffee in many many months. Dinner was boneless pork ribs braised and simmered in Campbell's golden mushroom soup with added mushroom and garlic, cheesy garlic mashed cauliflower and green beans. #fitnessfoodfebruary #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories #mfp #mfp #myfitnesspal #lowcarb #countingcalories #fitfam #losingweight #teampineapple #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories #mfp #mfp #myfitnesspal #lowcarb #countingcalories #fitfam #losingweight #teampineapple

Another #justwalk DVD workout tonight. Cardio has transitioned from being a chore to being a hobby. I quite enjoy it. I used to feel guilty taking time away from the kids but I don't anymore. This is for them that I get my me time and I'm a better mom the more energy the less stress and the healthier I am. This shirt by the way was too tight to wear to the #miraclemilkstroll last May. I was so disappointed that I couldn't wear it back then. I'm happy to wear it now! It's still snugger than I usually wear, but not uncomfortably so. #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #fitness #cardio #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #nogymneeded #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise #workoutathome #teampineapple #workoutdvd
I realize it's not #transformationtuesday Or #facetofacefriday But I always forget and I just came across this July picture. I recommitted to eating better and moving more about a month after this. August 4th I was 274 and today I'm 243.5 #weightlossjourney #weightloss #fitness #fitfam #teampineapple #healthychoices #eatingbetter #losingweight #teampineapple #exercise
Another good #fitnessfoodfebruary day. Stayed on point even when the family decided on Chinese take-out for dinner.I looked up average calories for my few favorite dishes and entered them in MFP while waiting for hubby to return with dinner. Then used the kitchen scale to portion and DIDNT HAVE SECONDS. #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories #mfp #mfp #myfitnesspal #lowcarb #countingcalories #fitfam #losingweight #teampineapple

I woke before my alarm and was able to get up and dressed without waking my kids so I snuck out for a nice morning gym visit to kickstart my day! #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #gym #fitness #physiq #elliptical #cardio #fitfam #teampineapple #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise

Food was on point today! 3 balanced meals all with veggies, a nice portioned comfort food snack (not pictured, half pbj) and a nice amount of fiber. Also, #carbs were just at goal. Bfast: scrambled #eggs with mushroom #avocado and blue cheese and turkey sausages. Lunch: salad with chicken sausage, #chia seeds, boiled egg, blue cheese and ranch. Dinner: boneless pork ribs simmered in golden mushroom soup and garlic with leftover Brussels sprouts. #fitnessfoodfebruary is on track! #healthychoices #fooddiary #eatingbetter #weightlossjourney #weightloss #cuttingcalories #mfp #mfp #myfitnesspal #lowcarb #countingcalories #fitfam #losingweight #teampineapple
Since my gym visit was cut short due to day care hours, I set up the DVD player in my office to try Just Walk by Leslie Sansone. Loved it! Easy to follow but still a great workout! Only $10 at Best Buy. #justwalk #weightlossjourney #weightloss #workout #fitness #cardio #fitfam #countingsteps #healthychoices #losingweight #burningcalories #nogymneeded #fitbit #walkforweightloss #exercise #workoutathome #teampineapple
