It's Going to be Different!

<div><div><div>It's been 5 months since I last posted and I've finally decided to come out of hiding! J/K I've actually just spent these last 5 months figuring out the balancing act of being a working mom! If you want to see what we've been up to feel free to hop on over to our family blog <a href="http://bangertfam.blogspot.com/">here</a>. </div><br /><br />Ok now it's time to spill my guts! My last post I left you guys with was about conquering week 3 of C25K and I had made some WW friendly freezer meals. Well, pretty sure I haven't ran since then and all those freezer meals are gone! ;)</div><br /><br />I went back to work from maternity leave part time on September 6th and then full time on September 12th. That was a major few weeks of transistion for me. I did not like leaving my baby everyday. But the weeks went on and I adjusted. I'm still not a fan of leaving her at daycare, I'd much rather be home with her, but it's just one of those facts of life that you have to deal with.<br /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702178879187564322" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxzs5gLYLameENXw6-ZHrdopcsFIKKgYIkdyALJhMzqxqY68uDS77ZSqX7x_k69YvKk5MrPGvOIR1jQ0VkOmaVELyHqIVJ0pfILCBP92YIAAzjSdehXLNKxofQJiy5-InxfbnSOs-1Brl9/s400/IMG_0821.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 267px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" /><br />Ok I'm getting de-railed....<br /><br />So once I was back to work I joined Weight Watchers at work, which was perfect. The weekly meeting was right on campus where I work. Over the next few months I lost about 10lbs of post baby weight. Then November came...<br /><ul><li>I had a work trip away in state.<br /></li><li>Thanksgiving.<br /></li><li><a href="http://bangertfam.blogspot.com/2011/12/mommys-home.html">I ended the month/started December with a week long work trip to Vegas</a>.<br /></li><li><a href="http://bangertfam.blogspot.com/2012/01/omaha-christmas.html">We celebrated Christmas a week early in Omaha with my family. </a><br /></li><li>And then the week of Christmas & New Years. {read: calories galore}<br /></li></ul><div>What are all those things? Excuses! That's it plain & simple. </div><br /><div>In those 7 weeks I went to Weight Watchers 2 times. Naughty, naughty! The scale showed it too, I gained 5 lbs. Eeekkk!!<br /><br /></div><div>After the New Years I vowed I need to get back on track & lose this baby weight. We didn't have enough members to keep our at work meetings going so I had to drive off campus to the local meeting in town. And that is what I've been doing for the past 3 weeks! Haven't missed one yet and have no plans to!<br /><br /></div><div>So that brings you to where I am today! I've started working out again, either on my lunch break or after I put Adelyn to bed. As far as food goes...sit back & let me tell you about me & food!<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5702179760129478770" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSM7O5SqE5ezQCXTmIA_8vKzNaTI52jXVY_GJbJpbvsI7MCOMI7_7W28eAPNqdIaFU8wm0ksrUy4KNJquen1lKiaetBxJj9vTR37nZl379uvLt4DK81-xCub4V_yeJ3_GXPEqeFFDxIOtF/s400/IMG_0808.JPG" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; width: 400px; height: 267px; text-align: center; display: block; cursor: pointer;" /></div><br /><div>I think a big part of it is such a head game for me. I weigh in on Thursdays. In my head I tell myself I can eat what I want on the weekends and then buckle down and make up for it M-W. I've done that the past 3 weeks and sure I've lost, but it's been minimal, -.6lbs or -.4lbs. </div><br /><div>I have to be honest with myself. Doing that isn't going to get me back to my goal weight. It's just a vicious cycle and it isn't the point of the program. Eating like that was in no way benefiting me.</div><br /><div>So here I am, out there for all see {read}, <strong>this week is going to be different</strong>. I'm not going to spurlge this weekend, I'm going to track what I eat, workout, and next week I will see the reward when I got to my WW meeting! </div></div>
