I finally reached a milestone. But first, a little background. Somewhere around the middle of my pregnancy with Chloe, I remember stepping on the doctor's scale and being horrified when the nurse had to up the weight to the 150 mark. You know how one black thing weighs in increments of 50, and the other one goes up to 50 pounds. Well, it just killed me when they had to start using the 150 weight counter as a starting point. I remember thinking to myself, "it's only temporary." Well, it wasn't as temporary as I would have liked. Today was the first day since then that I no longer have to use the 150 starting point! It's a big mental milestone for me. And it also means I've lost 10 pounds since the beginning of the semester on exercise and weight training alone. And here's the crazy part- I lost the last 2 pounds over the last four days when I didn't get any exercise! Go figure. On Thursday I had an all-day field trip, so no workout, and on Friday, I was having stomach problems and I was too excited to go shopping while the girls were at daycare. And of course, I have no daycare over the weekend, so any sort of structured workout routine is an impossibility. So, it felt good to get back to it today and I was pleasantly surprised when I weighed myself. I was expecting a 2 pound weight gain.
Ok, enough about that. Well, Leyla's crying now, so I guess that's all I'll write about.

Congrats on the milestone!
I'm not surprised it happened during a lull. Too much pushing sometime shuts things down.
I can soooo relate to those 50lb increments on the scale. They are kind of like turning 30 and suddenly you are a decade older. Nothing rational about it, but it is just how it is.
Good for you girly girl! It must have been REALLY exciting, satisfying, exhilirating... to be able to put that little black weight back. I fear I will never see that happen again in my lifetime - but who knows? Keep up the exercise and weight training and you will feel better, whether you lose tons of pounds or not.
It's great to reach a milestone of any sort.
I AM SO JEALOUS..... Before I started to change my eating habits... I weighed 171. WOW, WOW, I got a little too much Junk in the trunk. Since January just by eating right, I have lost 11 lbs. I am STOKED for you to be under that 150 cuz I know how hard it is to get there. AWESOME for you!
Congrats on the weight loss. That's really great you are doing so well. I was finally authorized to run and weight lift again last week so hopefully I will follow in your footsteps and see some improvments. Keep up the good work!
