I was great yesterday!!! I did have 1, ok 2, bites ( I promise small) of Lilly's birthday cake! I did not have any oreo's even though I did give them to the kids for a treat! I measured out my breakfast: 1 cup lowfat yogurt, 1 medium banana, and 1/4 cup granola ( to add texture to my yogurt!). I went to Mcdonalds for lunch with friends. I thought ( long and hard) about what I would order. I ate most of a salad ceasar grilled chicken breast, a water and 10 fries and 3 slices of apples( the kids left there food on the table)! I came home and drank lots of water! Then for a sanck I had fat free cream cheese and 6 whole wheat ritz crackers ( only a half of package left in the pantry when I found them)! Dan made dinner. I planned on making my own but in the end didn't need to! Yeah! He made whole wheat spaghetti and homemade sauce that had a lot of veggies! I had 1 1/4 cup pasta and sauce. 1 piece garlic toast. and a 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese! I never went back for seconds ( I was freaking out at the table because of the noise and food)! We had Lilly's birthday cake and everyone loved it! I was trying hard to to not eat any of it! Aliya left two bites on her plate. I ate them and then quickly put the rest in the sink! That was it! I drank some more water and was done for the night! I had a pounding headache around 9:30pm and was telling dan when he asked how much water I drank today. I told him I had had a lot and that I had been great on my diet today! He quickly put two and two together for me. I was having withdrawls from the sugar! I hurt for an hour and then as Dan went to get my some tylenol I fell alseep. When I got on the scale today I was 1 lb lighter! Even before going to the bathroom, and with my underdigs on! I feel great! Isn't it amazing how that 1 little lb (which could be water weight) makes you feel so good! Well it is keeping me motivated for today! And as my mom would say it is one day at a time!
Oh I forgot to mention I am keeping track of everything at sparks.com! it's free and it tracks things really well!

Sara,
I think that is awesome that you are trying to lose weight. My baby is 7 months and I just started running. So I am in the same boat. Trying to lose baby weight. Sounds like you are doing awesome. Good luck.
Wow I love the idea, of posting about your results and efforts. I think it's a great idea. Concratulations on the 1 lb.
Good Luck!
Good job! It's so hard, now that I'm not pregnant anymore I'm in the same boat. I'll read this blog for inspiration. Good Luck!
Sara,
I know just how you feel!! I just want to die with the way I look! I have been trying to lose baby weight for 2 YEARS!! All I have lost has been 5 lbs! I work out all the time and watch what I eat...it is just not working for me. I am so scared to get pregnant again looking the way I do because I know how much harder it will be for me to lose it afterwards.I am determined to lose it before baby #5 comes along.
I stopped working out when we were moving but I am back to it again...so here's hoping that this time it works for me! Good luck...I will be keeping up with your blog for inspiration!
Yahoo for the one pound down! Just a bit of unsolicited advice...
As in most weight loss programs, it is suggested that you weigh yourself only once a week, on the same day, around the same time, wearing the same thing. I know in my many weight loss journey's this has been a vital part of "feeling good" about my results. Just fyi: do with what you wish! :) Best wishes this week!
