Flashback Friday!
This is what was going on this date last year. So, I guess Happy Birthday to our stroller. Ha!

Weight loss update.
And an update to below. Not pancakes for dinner - southwest pasta salad. I knew something didn't sound right when I posted it. But, I am the only one reading this anyway, so probably it doesn't matter.
Ok, so a mini-update since big updates are reserved for monthly (27th of the month, usually). This is the 10th week of working out (so 9.5 total) and I am down 11.5 pounds and more than 17 inches! Yay, me. And yay wife, who is also down 10. A little more than a pound a week seems to be my stride. Which in some ways, is depressing. I mean, people on the BL lose that much in a week. But, I didn't start at over 300 pounds and my goal is to lose 30, so I know I won't lose at that rate. And that's ok. I am looking for sustainable. After 2 months, I feel like my eating habits have changed and Jillian has become a part of my daily life. I needed to find something that worked. I don't like running and I don't have time for the gym. I DO have time for a 24 minute workout with Jillian in my living room.
I have three videos and just alternate those. One has 3 workouts, one has 4 and one has 2. So, I can get through a week without a repeater, which is nice. I eat less, try to keep 1200 calories in my mind as a ballpark and drink a crapton of water. And that's it.
I am close to getting into a few pairs of pants I haven't worn in a good while. And once I get back to my pre-Theo weight, I have a whole closet full of "new" stuff to wear. That feels good. Every week I try on a few things. Things that were once "yeah, that's not even going around my thighs" are now "well, they are on and zipped, but not appropriate for public viewing." So, I'm getting there.
I've been inspired by a friend who has done an amazing job on her own journey and today a nurse told me she started the Shred because she's been inspired by me. That is way cooler than what I can fit into.
