I am officially 17 days post partum and beginning my plan to loose weight.  I am hoping for 1 pound per week of weight loss, on a 1,700 calorie plan.  I should have the weight off by October 2009 at the latest. The little guy actually let me get some sleep last night between feedings, we wound up co-sleeping which worked really well for me getting some shut eye.  I "woke up" at 8 am and fed him again, then got out my meal plan. Read about my stats and meal plan…

Week 1 Stats:

Bust: 41 in

Waist: 39 in

Hips: 42 in

Weight: 178 lbs

Goal Weight: 138 lbs

Today was:

Breakfast:

1 cup of whole grain cereal (Kashi Strawberry Fields)

1 cup of milk (Silk Enriched Soymilk)

1 pc Whole Grain Toast

1 Tbsp Peanut Butter

1 Cup cantanloupe (I subbed 1/2 cup Orange Juice)

Snack:

1 Fat Free Yogurt (I subbed 1 cup chocolate Silk, I hate yogurt)

Lunch:

2 cups of shrimp/veg stir fry

1 cp steamed rice

1 cp egg drop soup

1 cup Lentil Soup)

1 cp Fiesta Veggies

From 12-1pm I taught a Power Yoga class at Central Park Athletic Club in Lisle, I did talk teaching only – regular students were there.  They have one of the doctor’s office type scales so I weighed myself — I lost at least 23 lbs in the two weeks since baby was born.  I came home and tried to relax for a bit before my second set of classes, didn’t happen.  6-7 pm I taught a Hatha Yoga class in Naperville, which I talk taught with a little demo, two new students and one returning student, a few no shows. 7:15-8:15 pm I taught my second Hatha Yoga Class in Naperville at the Park District which I demo’ed quite a bit during, several new students including a family of four – I think family yoga is such a nice idea, a few returning students and two missing students that I thought would be in class.

My goal is to start each week with my stats, and also daily post my meal plan and activity.
