Yesterday, I weighed in at 152.4 lbs.  That is slightly over 7 pounds lost in about 5 weeks.  And, as my husband said last night, I am doing it the old-fashioned way.  No dieting.  That's right.  I'm not dieting.  I'm just eating at healthy as I possibly can manage on a regular basis.  I'm making the healthy decisions like not eating out and never cooking unhealthy.  Just a side note, I LOVE home-cooked healthy food way, way, way better than any fat-filled, sodium-stuffed food from any restaurant! Oh yes, and one more secret to this newly-found success...I still eat chocolate everyday.  I only allow myself I peice of dark chocolate and that satisfies me.  To balance the eating out, I also am exercising.  So, I am loosing weight by eating healthy and exercising.  And its working.  The last time I lost weight this way, I lost 60 lbs and I kept it off (give and taken a few pounds) for 3 years, until I got pregnant with my first baby.
The day before yesterday, I walked into Chipotle*, and a fellow twenty-somethingish girl asked me, "How old is your baby?"  I replied, "5 months.  Almost 6."  To my surprise, she replied back, "Your TINY!"  Oh!  That is exactly what I need to hear!  Ten months after having my first baby, someone asked me if I was pregnant, so I would say that this is progress!  So, whoever you are, fellow twenty-somethingish girl: THANK YOU!  You can run into me anytime and tell me that!
*(which I haven't had in over a month, and I only ate 1/2 of!)
