10% Down and My First 5k Post-Baby!

Yesterday’s weigh in went better than I expected!

Down 2 to make it a total of 17.8 lbs in 9 weeks! That makes an average weight loss of just over 2 pounds a week. 12 more to go to reach my official Weight Watcher’s goal. Click here to see my progress since starting.

For those that don’t know, the picture above is the Weight Watchers 10% key chain. They give small trinkets for weight loss milestones like 10%, 16 weeks on plan, reaching goal, and becoming a lifetime member. It may be cheesy but I like the small rewards and actually keep my charms on my key chain all the time.

Other than the weigh in I don’t have much news to report. I’ve been TRYING to catch up on some sleep which is why I’m posting this a little late. It also took me 3 days to get the One Pot Butter Beans with Brown Rice and Optional Cumin Dusted Pork Chops up on GreenLiteBites.

Next week I’m running my first 5k event since having the baby. It’s the Bel Air Town run. This run is special to me. It was my first every 5k in 2008. I then ran it the next year beating my time more 6 minutes! Last year I missed it because we were on vacation but my plan is to run it yearly as a tradition to celebrate my running anniversary.

I’m setting no expectations on myself this year except to finish. I’m still finding my running groove post-baby. But next year? Next year I’m going to ROCK it! ;) I love challenging myself.

Today I’m in clean up mode and am looking forward to my Memorial Day Weekend Plans. ;)

Yesterday’s journal…
I need to get this review up. Loving this cereal. I was really hungry mid morning. Decided to go with real food instead of just grabbing a snack. McDs Asian Salad, some of the husband’s fries and ANOTHER cone. The husband strikes again! He wanted to go out for lunch. Has the Asian salad.. Oh My! so good! Turkey Sausage with onion peppers and potatoesThis was another one pot meal I made for dinner. Everybody ate again without complaint. I may have to make this again to post on GreenLiteBites.At this point I was eating to just stay awake. Bad, I know.

Walk to the park with Little Guy wearing the Little Bean. We took the long way. :)

Much better in the water department.
