The scale! It's moving!

After two weeks of this new meal plan, all was going well... Until my baby got the cold that I had, and slight chaos reigned in the Maxfield household. By the end of week two, I was back to my old ways and not even caring. Even my blasted soda habit was back—one can, sometimes two, a day—and I had the bloated belly to prove it.

I had one minor victory, which was that I fought the fast food urge and haven't had any in two weeks. Still, I was pretty mad at myself yesterday that I've slipped so far and I vowed to begin again, AND kick the Coke to the curb once and for all. The craving was really strong this morning (at 9 a.m.! How pathetic is that?) but I'm proud to say that I resisted the urge and made myself a green smoothie instead.

About an hour and a half later, I got back on the scale out of curiosity, since I haven't weighed in over a week. I was kind of expecting a gain, but lo, such was not my fate. On the contrary: I lost weight!!!

I lost a total of 3 pounds in about a week and a half, I'm now almost 5 pounds below my pre-baby weight: I'm now at 151! 

HUZZAH!!!

So, even though I didn't stick to the plan 100%, it is definitely working. With my renewed dedication and the mental boost from the movement on the scale, I am psyched and ready to keep going.

Who's with me???
