Week 1 Weigh In....

Sooooooo......here we are.......one week later, and it's time for the 'official' first weigh in.....ready ????
Wait for it....wait for it.....LOL...just kidding !!
Starting weight was 208. lbs., and this morning's weight is 206.6 !!! Don't ask me how much it's down.....lol....it's way to early and not enough coffee right now for me to do math !!  All I care about is that it's down !!!!  YAAAY !!!!  Not too terribly much farther to go, and I shall be back in "one"derland !! ;)
It's been an interesting week....food wise, it's been good..have managed to avoid a lot of the crap, and I've done much better with my water intake !!  My problem has been the workouts....and, it isn't from lack of motivation or "want to"....ever since I delivered our little girl, I've had some major issues with my right hip !! It's crazy !!  They said it just didn't go back right, but I'm telling you, it doesn't feel like it's gone anywhere !!! It just locks up !!!  This week, I tried to start slow, and do some exercises with it, and low and behold, the pain got so bad, that it triggered a migraine !! ARRGGGHHH.......
So, I definitely have to figure out something to do here !!! I've been to the docs, they've done the x-rays...blah, blah, blah....."take this pill"....yeah, NO....not a pill girl !!  Just going to have to work it out and push through it and I will !!! Not being able to do much exercise is really going to slow this process down, and if any of you have ever lost weight before, you already know what a looooong, frustrating process it can be !!!
For now, I am thrilled with the little loss up there, and I'll just have to get creative for a way to 'work out' !!
Thank you all so much for walking with me, and sharing your stories !!!!
Remember,
Stay focused, celebrate everything, and have an awesome day !!!! :)

  1. I was reading your blog. I want to be where I was weight wise when Rod and I got together. My problem is that I am nursing the baby. I stay hungry as a horse and crave sweets! Anyway, I have right hip issues too, since I was pregnant with Noah. I think it went away after Noah, but now, after Luke, it hasn't. I only notice mine when I lie on my right side though. PAIN! Also, my feet hurt terribly after this baby too. Crazy stuff happens after pregnancy especially after 35! LOL! Good luck to you! I'm sure you can do it once again! GO GINA!

  2. Thank you sooooooooo much for posting this honey !!! Once again....the hip problems and other changes your body can go through before, during and after pregnancy are astounding !!! And, since every woman is different, you just never know how it's going to affect you !! And, as you said...especially after 35 !!! lol
    The important thing is that we don't give up !! I've always loved the movie (and it's title !!) Steel Magnolias....I've always found it a perfect description of women....tough as steel...soft and sweet as a beautiful flower !!
    Thanks for the encouragement, sweetie !!! You can do it too...we will do it together !!!
    And, then we'll all go shopping for new jeans !!! ;) xoxo

Remember Celebrat it all losses and the occaisional frustions of the why didn't I lose this week I did everything I was supposed to and the hate to say it slight gains. I know your hip hurts but can you do some walking? Throw little miss in the carrage and just go walking. Start out slow and easy then build on that.
