Baby weight-loss update and pics

So week 1 was harder than I thought. I never got the memo to stop eating whatever I wanted after the baby. I know, being preggo isn't a reason to eat whatever you want but I used being pregnant to do many things I wasn't supposed to...i.e. eating cake for dinner, leaving work an hour early because I didn't "feel good", sleeping in late, getting Daniel to carry things that were "too heavy," you know, things like that.

I did great on my 1 soda per week and on getting in walks, and zumba-ing and doing core and strength workouts during B's morning nap. Where I did not do so great was the "something sweet once or twice a week". It was more like oh, maybe...6 times a week. Also, the "drink more water" was more than what I normally drink, but not the goal I was hoping for.

So here's how it's going after week 1:

Date: 4/23/12     Height: 5' 5"      Weight: 138.6 lbs (-2.0 lbs!)
Waist: 36.25 in. (- 3/4 in)     Arm:11 in.        Thigh: 23 in.

Weight and waist are down and no change in the arms or thighs. I can't wait to see what happens when I cut back on those sweets this week!

And for friends and family back home here are some pics I took this weekend of Miss Brooklyn.
