Well I am doing my weekly check in. I definitely see some progress. I have lost 4.5 pounds and lost 2.5 inches off my natural waist and 1 inch off my C-section pooch. This is with us just doing no carbs, we had a cheat day and I ate a burger one day (shhhh don't tell D lol) still drinking sodas, and no working out. I am very pleased. This week we will continue doing no/low carbs, only water (with crystal lite), and I will start going to the gym this week also.
My stats are below:
Weight: 163, 158.5, 164.5, 160
Left Bicep:12.5, 12, 11.5, 12
Right Bicep: 12.5, 12.5, 11.5, 12
Chest: 41, 38,40, 40,
Ribcage: 32, 30.5, 34, 32
Natural waist: 34, 33, 36, 33.5
Pooch (lower belly): 34, 33, 36 35
Hips: 41, 42, 42 42

Weight Loss
Ok I am going to go back to monitoring my weight loss. Hubby is on board with me, and we are doing no carbs for the next few weeks. I haven't decided if we are doing no carbs for the next 4 weeks, or doing no carbs for 2 and then having low carbs some days for the next two. we will see when we get there. My only problem is making sure that D has enough to eat. he works a physical outdoor job and will be in the studio starting next month, and I don't want him to get sick or anything. Our menu for this week is baked chicken breasts and broccoli, and tilapia and asparagus or string beans. I'm going to do salads for lunch, and for snacks we will have trail mix, fruit, and cucumbers (D loves those). I haven't figured out when we will exercise yet. Maybe we can do some walks in the evening this week.
I don't really have a goal weight in mind. I'm thinking maybe around 130-135 but we will see. Its mainly about look and how my clothes fit. I'm pretty much at my pre-pregnancy weight, but my measurements are not the same. My stats are below: first is where I was at before I starting trying to lose weight in May (5/1/12) of last year before I found out I was pregnant. Second are my stats for the last weigh in I had when working out (5/14/12). And lastly in red are my current stats as of today.
Weight: 163, 158.5, 164.5
Left Bicep:12.5, 12, 11.5
Right Bicep: 12.5, 12.5, 11.5
Chest: 41, 38, 40
Ribcage: 32, 30.5, 34
Natural Waist: 34, 33, 36
Pooch (lower belly): 34, 33, 36
Hips: 41, 42, 42
Left Thigh: 25.5, 25, 25
Right Thigh: 26, 26, 24
I will be checking back in next week Monday to update my stats.

6 Month Update
Wow! its been about 6 months since I have updated on here. So much has happened with us. I have updates on myself, and baby Isabella.
everything is going good with the house. Everything is going good with D and I. We had some rough spots while we were trying to get in our groove as new parents, but it's pretty much smooth sailing now.
Isabella has brought so much joy to our lives. I know its cliche but I never thought I could love someone so much. She is hilariously funny, beautiful, so so smart, stubborn (like her daddy, lol), independent, inquisitive, and so sweet, and cuddly. She just turned 6 months officially on July 29th. I still can't believe I have a 6 month old baby! Some of the best advice I have been given was" follow your instincts". this has saved me money, stress, and worry. I have proven to myself over and over again, that I do know what I am doing and that I instinctively know what is best for my daughter.
Stats: 6 months, 3 days
16 pounds 14.5 ounces
27 inches long
head circumference 42.5
She still sleeps in the bed with us. I love snuggling with her but mama has got to get her bed (and her groove) back. lol. So I will be starting to put her to bed in her crib.
She has a pretty good bedtime routine which includes a bath, lotion rub down, and bottle. I want to incorporate reading a story to her at bedtime also.
She is in daycare and loves her teachers. I am working on giving her some playtime when she gets home in the afternoons. So we are either going on a walk, running errands, or going home to play and do tummy time.
feeding: she wants to eat everything! She drinks about 5 ounces of milk every 2 hours. She has also started on baby food. So far I make all her baby food myself. She has eaten sweet potatoes, squash, green beans, carrots, and peaches. She loves sweet potatoes, squash, and peaches. She tolerates carrots. lol. And absolutely hates green beans. Next up is green peas and we move on to fruit. She eats baby food at daycare and most evenings. Once I start fruit, I'm going to give her some baby food for breakfast also. her pediatrician says that she can start eating meat, but I will buy the baby food for that. I don't think I want to puree meat. lol.
milestones: sitting up, she has graduated to sitting in the big part of the stroller, the high chair at restaurants, and the buggy in stores. I have a high chair cover that we use in restaurants and stores that has toys attached to it. she loves that thing. She can also rollover from tummy to back, she hasn't quite mastered rolling the other way yet, but she is close. she babbles and talks all day long. She loves playing with her toys and turning them over and over in her hands. she can get up on her hands and knees and rock, but no forward movement yet. she scoots backwards though. No teeth yet, although I think they are coming any day now. I can see the imprint of them in her gums.
Isabella is wearing size 6 or 9 months in onsies and size 9 months in pants, she is on the edge of being in size 12 month pants though. my girl is going to be tall! She's also in size 2 diapers, but once I finish this box, I'm going to mover her up to size 3's.
Its about time to start researching baby proofing and to research convertible car seats.
Everything is going great, trying to decide on when and where we are going to go on our first family vacation. I'm so looking forward to that. Finances are finally getting in order, and we are working on getting miss Izzy in a daycare closer to our house.
Everything is great with me. I'm still working on getting our house organized and purging out old stuff, but its coming along. I cut my hair back into the Mohawk I had when I first went natural. I miss my hair a lot sometimes, but I honestly did not have time to do hair. Now I wish that I had just kept it braided or wore wigs, but oh well. I still love it, it is very much wash-n-go hair. I will grow it back though, I may start growing it around the time Izzy turns one. I will probably do series of posting about that.
Its weight loss time again. I got to about 200 pounds by the end of my pregnancy, and now I am back to my weight that I was before I started working out. So now its time to get it together. my goal is not really a certain weight, its more to get the look that I want. So I weight about 164 now. I want to start by losing about 24 pounds to get to 140 and then see where I want to go from there. I'm going to give myself until the end of October to get there. I will do another post with my stats and weight loss plan.
