Yesterday marked the halfway point in my FIT in 40 health kick.  I’m getting super-excited for our upcoming vacation in the sun.  I think my recent excitement comes mostly from the good weather we’ve been having.  I’ve been able to get out and take walks with Avery in our new jogging stroller once or twice a day if it’s a weekend!

The nice weather also sparked some spring cleaning.  I rotated in my spring clothes, put away winter clothes, and dedicated a whole tote to maternity clothes.  (I utilized our cool label maker to mark the totes!) Yup, all those stretchy-waist pants and loose fitting shirts are packed far-far away down in the basement!  They’ve been replaced with yoga pants and sports shirts… because I’m doing much more exercising these days

Here’s a look at how things are going, as of yesterday.

Day: 20

Days to Go: 20

Weight Loss: 4.4lbs.   1 more pound lost since last week, Yay! I also fit into a skirt I found in the summer clothes that I couldn’t fit into two summers ago!

Daily Calorie Net: 1100-1400.  I have to up this now that I’m exercising more…

Guilty Pleasures: Sweets.  I splurged on Easter and on our weekend vacation… some ice cream, jelly beans, and girl scout cookies.  They weren’t repeat offenses though… I’m being good most days

Exercise Frequency: We’re walking 30-120 minutes a day now with the stroller.  More on weekends to make-up for busy weekdays.  I need to get in more stretching, ab and leg workouts…

Bikini Confidence: I tried on some one-piece bathing suits this past weekend.  Yuck.  It just doesn’t work with my body shape.  Bikini it is.  A couple more weeks and I’ll be a confident shopper and pick something out that I feel good in.  Still sub-conscious about those stretch marks…

Motivational Pictures: Bye-bye maternity clothes…

Have you brought out your spring clothes yet?  Do you have a bin of clothes that you can’t fit into anymore, but can’t part with?  I do!  I think I’ll label that tote ‘Goal Clothes’.
