{Buff Mama Monday} Halfway There!

Guess what I did this weekend? I bought new jeans in my new size. That’s right, I dropped a jean size people! I can’t tell you how amazing it is to go try on a size smaller jeans that I couldn’t even zip up a couple months ago and have them fit perfectly now. Not only did I drop a jean size, I lost another 3lbs this week bringing my total weight loss to 15lbs since I started Nutrisystem! Did you see that number? 15 pounds! I’m halfway to the initial goal I set for myself when I started this.

Remember last week how I was all whiny about gaining a pound and my husband eating ice cream in front of me and the Dunkin Donut ads at my gym? I was recently reminded that this is a journey, not a race (thanks @nutriprmeredith). I need to allow myself to have a bad week, dust myself off and get back up on the treadmill without beating myself up about it. I need to have patience with myself. I’m learning a new lifestyle, not just going the quick fix route that never works.

In workout news, this week wasn’t the greatest because I’ve been sick but I did what I could. I really watched what I ate this week, stuck to my Nutrisystem meal plan and that’s what helped me drop 3 pounds. Oh and guess what Santa is bringing me this year for Christmas? A mommy bootcamp that starts at the end of December. Oh GOD, what did I get myself into?!
