Weekly Weigh In

I lost 1.5 pounds this week, which brings my total lost to 105.7 pounds. I had an okay week. I had a rough time Saturday night and gave in to both pizza and brownies, yikes! To make up for that though I busted my butt in the gym this week. On Monday I even went outside my comfort zone and tried something new, Zumba! I actually really enjoyed it, I looked like an idiot trying to do the moves, and I'm pretty sure I didn't do a single one right, but I definitely got a good sweat in!

In the month of March I lost 8.0 pounds, which I'm okay with, "they" say 1-2 pounds of weight loss a week is healthy. I'm happier with my inches lost this month.

In the month of March I lost:

0.25 inches neck
no change in my arms
1.5 inches chest
2.0 inches waist
2.0 inches hips
1.75 inches thigh
no change in my calf
That makes for a total of 7.5 inches lost in the last 4 weeks!




Since the beginning of this year I've lost 23.9 pounds.

The Beach? In March!

We've all been all enjoying this unusually nice weather lately. On Tuesday, after we picked Grace up from school, we took all the kids to go play in the sand at the beach. I still can't believe we went to the beach in March!

I wasn't so sure what the babies would think of the sand. Emma loved it, from the start! She loved being able to run around. Carter was a little more hesitant, to his defense though, we did wake him up when we got there. At first when I put him down he just kept asking to come back up. So, Carter and I just snuggled, while the girls played for a while.
 " You woke me up for this?"
 "Woof woof!" 
The twins are obsessed with dogs and birds, so they were very happy with the animals at the beach!

We sure are going to miss this weather if it doesn't stick around!
