I weighed in this morning knowing that no matter what, I would be happy with the outcome because I worked my behind off this week. I ran/walked/sprinted 5 times this week for a total of over 10 miles. I also worked on running longer periods without walking and got in several stretches of 5-6 minutes (which is awesome for me since I am most definitely NOT a runner).
I also kept my food in check this week. I had a lot of motivation after seeing the weight gain last week!
Week 7 Stats (12 weeks PP)
Weight Lost: -3.3 lbs.
Total Lost: 34.3 lbs.
Remaining Weight: 8.7 lbs.
I feel very motivated this week for several reasons:
1. Working hard last week and seeing good results makes me want to do it again!
2. I have less than 10 pounds to lose now which seems less daunting!
3. I still can't button my pre-pregnancy pants, but I can get them over my hips and fasten them with a rubber band which is something I could not do until recently!
4. I haven't eaten ice cream since I was pregnant, and I made a deal with myself that I get to eat a bowl of ice cream when I get below a certain weight. I am only 0.8 lbs. from reaching this goal!
This is my last week of maternity leave, and I know it will be harder to exercise once I go back to work, so I really want to make this week count.

This is your last week of maternity leave? Who is going to take care of Miss E once you're back to teaching?
