Friday Weigh In & Other Things

Happy Monday, world! Last week was a little crazy and it definitely showed up on the scale. Lucikly it wasn't horrific.

Starting Weight: 284.4
Previous Weight: 249.0
Current Weight: 249.2
Lost/Gained: +0.2
Total Lost: -35.2
Inches Lost: -3.5

I didn't take my measurements this week either. I am telling you, last week was a blur. However, that gain was expected. We ate out, a lot, I didn't get to walk like I did the previous week, and I just wasn't focused. It does happen from time to time though and I'm trying to do much better this week. Cross my heart.

Well, I have finally decided that I will be brave enough to share progress photos with the world. I'm not embarassed with myself, disappointed, not embarassed. My body is what it is right now. My stomach is completely different than it ever was in my life because I grew, carried, and gave birth to a baby via cesarean. My stomach will never be the same again, but that's OK with me because my body did something amazing. That being said - here we go:

The picture on the left was 4 weeks post partum. The one on the right... was Tuesday 3/17 as you can obvioulsy see. I have gotten smaller. Yay! Even though it's only a 9.1 pound difference, you can see the change in my body so far. I don't think I will do pictures weekly, but possibly monthly or bi-weekly.

Pictures are one of the BEST ways to measure progress. Pictures, measurements, and clothing. Sometimes the scale is a bitch but she isn't always in tune with everything going on with your body. That's why I rely on other means to measure progress sometimes.

I totally ordered this diaper for Carson and am obsessed with it:

BumGenius Louis Print

Now, I didn't get the flip, I got the Freetime. It is so stinking cute! Obviously since both Andrew and I are instrument people this diaper was very fitting. This was definitely a splurge purchase at $35 but I wanted it so badly. Diapers are becoming a serious addiction and I might have to have an intervention.... maybe. I just love the Freetimes, I wish my entire diaper collection was Freetimes (as a reminder, the Freetimes are the All-in-One diapers as mentioned in my post about cloth diapers).

I leave you all with a super cute picture of Carson:

In this photo, Heather is holding him and he is flirting with Amelia, Heather and Nick's daughter. Heather says that Carson will be her future son-in-law. Wouldn't that be perfect?! 

How was everyone's weekend? Anyone else have a super crazy week and needing a kick in the butt to get back on track?
