On to the stats:
Hospital weight: 176
Weight to date: 146
Pounds to go: 10
I only lost a pound this last month. I think I hit a wall. That combined with not being able to workout due to horrible hip pain has me at a stand still. But I have to remind myself my job right now is to grow my beautiful daughter, which judging from her stats I am doing a great job. Yes, I would love to fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes but I know that time will come and if not ill just get a new wardrobe. And really when does new clothes not make you feel better?
I am not dieting but I am trying to choose my snacks better. Every Sunday a make a huge batch of oatmeal banana muffins with flax seed in them and a batch of homemade cookies. I figure if I snack on those things ill be less tempted to eat candy. I also switched my nightly dessert from ice cream to yogurt and hot tea. I just can't do the whole no eating after 6pm thing. I enjoy food too much and if I stopped eating at 6 I'd wake up at midnight famished.
Also, I'm trying to limit my mochas and sugary lattes to once a week. I've noticed if I add cinnamon to my coffee I trick myself into thinking its sweet. Still not as good as a mocha but enjoyable.

You're doing great! I don't remember how much I still had to go at four months, but probably about the same as you. I think that plateau is probably normal around that time. I hit it too, but changing my eating habits helped a lot. You're such a skinny minnie you will definitely get there :).
ReplyDeleteGirl I hear your hip pain! Oh.my.word.I hear ya. Maybe a steroid shot like me?! It worked for about a month and then I got another one. For me it is arthritis and IT band issues.
ReplyDeleteYou look good btw! keep at it and it will come off.
