A Milestone

Sorry to have missed the Monday post. With it being Memorial Day, S4L was closed, and I didn't get to weigh in at my normal time of day until Wednesday. I lost 0.6 pounds last week, so it wasn't too exciting. The good news, though, is that while I was out of town Friday and Saturday, I was completely off plan, and managed to get back down quickly after coming home. I'll have current pics and a weight update this Monday. I'll probably post our menus for the last 2 weeks then too...

It is hard to believe, but I have finally made it down to my first pregnancy checkup weight! I have yet to post about my pregnancy weight gain and all the fun we had staying off-plan and eating what we wanted, but as of yesterday morning, I am officially down to what I weighed at my 8-week appointment!

While it's not my absolute lowest since starting Slim4Life (249 the week before I found out), I am proud that I've finally managed to lose all of that. I still don't look as slim as I did, since I'm convinced I lost a ton of muscle tone over the last year, but as I lose more weight and get out more this summer, I hope to gain some of that back, while I'm burning the fat that replaced it. Here's a photo of me the week of our appointment, and a photo of me 2 days ago in my (gasp!) bathing suit:

May 29, 2014; Weight: 255 7 months post-partum, but it was totally worth this little cutie and his brother!
