Long term goal: 45 lbs to lose
Weekly goal: Lose 3 lbs

Did you hit your goals? No, but I think I'm on track finally.
Were there any challenges? I always want to snack a lot in the afternoon. I realized the best way to dodge it is to eat a really big, filling lunch.
Did you exercise? Yes. I started doing 30 minutes on the bike and also walking and trying to hit 10k steps on my fitbit.
Did you eat healthfully? Not early in the week, but towards the end I started to.
Weight or inches lost? None yet.
Any non-scale victories? Starting to routinely exercise.
I will continue... Exercising, eating filling meals.
I will stop... Bingeing/snacking.

QOTW: What are you proud of? Have a super mom moment? Wore jeans? Anything... Going to the park today to walk instead of trying to exercise inside. I have trouble getting out if it's not running errands or driving kids somewhere.

Yay! Glad I saw this today. arbe would you mind correcting my tag from @adorbel to adorebel so I see this check-in? Thank you!

Long term goal: Lose 8 pregnancy pounds + 7 extra pounds I started pregnancy with
Weekly goal: Continue with exercise and improve healthy eating

Did you hit your goals? I haven't set any specific goals yet
Did you exercise? Yes! 4 times since last Monday: I attended 2 cardio classes, swam 40 laps one day, and went to mommy-baby yoga another day. I also walked quite a bit because I returned to work and there's a walk from my bus stop to my office.
Did you eat healthfully? Nope. This is what's really hard for me now. My appetite is CRAZY between breastfeeding and starting up exercise again. It doesn't help that I've gone back to work, so I'm looking for convenient dinner options on workdays (aka defrosting those freezer meals, which are often more high-calorie things that I knew would freeze well, like lasagna, chili, pot pie, etc.)
Weight or inches lost? None since 3weeks pp (now 7 weeks pp)
Any non-scale victories? My pooch tightened up a little this week with a return to exercise! Also, the divide between my abdominal muscles is almost fully closed again.
I will continue... working out. It feels AMAZING to sweat again and sleep really well!
I will stop... eating so many sweets and treats. But I will also stop expecting everything to change so quickly! I need to be more patient.

QOTW: What are you proud of? Have a super mom moment? Wore jeans? Anything... I'm just proud of being back at work on very little sleep, dealing with the mess my sub left, and still being a good mom and wife when I'm home.

erm goal: get to goal weight (5-6 pounds to go) which is just under where I was before getting pregnant
Weekly goal: see the scale go down

Did you hit your goals? Yes, I kept up running
Were there any challenges? I feel like I've hit a plateau and the scale hasn't moved. I know it's only been seven weeks but I'm so impatient and I want my body back. I was in the best shape last spring.
Did you exercise? I ran
Did you eat healthfully? Mostly
Weight or inches lost? None
Any non-scale victories? Nothing big
I will continue...exercising and cleaning up my eating
I will stop...mindless snacking

QOTW: What are you proud of? Have a super mom moment? Wore jeans? Anything...my favorite white shorts fit
