Well, I stayed the same this week – still at
173.6
And you know, I’m okay with it for a few reasons:
1) I didn’t GAIN weight
2) I stopped pumping last week so “the girls” kinda feel like boulders right now.
3) I didn’t eat that well last week so…
I call it a wash.
I did exercise quite a bit so that may have helped. I did all three regular workouts, several walks in the neighborhood and even some yard work. So, I’m good. I hope to see a loss next week though.
p.s. I’m thinking of giving up CHOCOLATE for Lent which starts in three weeks. Think I can do it?? I don’t know….

Not gaining rocks!!
I wouldn’t know from first-hand knowlege since I can’t seem to get my “Holiday” (that’s Labor Day to Valentine’s, right?) weight off, but you’re doing great girl. The exercise counts a lot – for your body and for your mind.
Give up chocolate?! How about smoking? So much easier.
nicole says
Exercise is good for you anyway, regardless of weight loss. Keep up the good work Elaine!
Brooke says
just time to refocus and get back on track with your eating.
as far as giving up chocolate – you can totally do it. isn’t that the point of lent? so that we understand what a sacrifice was made for us?
Mom of 3 boys says
Keep up the exercising and it is hard when you stop nursing/pumping for your body to get used to it and I can imagine how you feel this week. Giving up chocolate would be hard but it’s not for that long. You can do it.
*Lissa* says
Ouch! I hate breast boulders.
You can totally give up chocolate! I know it!
krissy says
You can give up chocolate! 😀 I want to give up soda…doubt that will happen! lol
Wendi says
First of all…any one that can put their weight on their blog…ROCKS!
Second, no weight gain is always great.
Thirdly, you worked out more than I have in months…okay years.
Fourthly, if you give up chocolate…I might give up Diet Coke. And Diet Mountain Dew. And Diet Pepsi. Deal?
Erin says
Elaine, you are doing an amazing job. Not gaining is a feat in and of itself. I’ve been struggling lately, too, and I didn’t just have a baby!!!!
Christina says
Holding steady is GREAT!!! Working out is even better…I’m not SO concerned about my weight, but I want to be in better shape!
Cheryl says
slow and steady is always best…that way it’s not just water weight! You’re doing fantastic! A little plateau this week will give big rewards next week! Keep at it!
Kami's Khlopchyk says
I am with Cheryl, slow and steady is the way to go. Keep it up!
And yes, can live without chocolate. I have pretty much given it up on account of the increased lactose intolerance after that %$#$^&##@@ elimination diet I did. Not that I am happy about it but I am still alive.
That probably doesn’t help, does it?
GO ELAINE!
Heather D says
Ouchie on no pumping. I say you’re doing great, maintaining. This week you’re going to rock it!
designHER Momma says
you inspire me! I seriously have to start working out one of these days!
Chelle says
Hey–you didn’t gain–that’s a PLUS in my book.
I’ll go in on the chocolate for lent w/you…
Lady Mama says
You’re doing great! Giving up chocolate? You’re a stronger woman than me if you do!
~Mendie~ says
Maintaining is a good thing…especially with the feeding change.
You are doing great…go for the chocolate challenge! All you can do is try!
Mel @ A Box of Chocolates says
Congrats on maintaining this week. Definitely way better than gaining. Have a great weekend.
Heidi says
This is the first week I haven’t lost and it kinda bums me out. Maybe I should start the exercising you speak of…
