It's amazing how something that I'm just "sure" is going to be an epic failure can turn into a success! This week I lost 2.2 pounds! I was just positive that I hadn't lost any weight this week because I definitely don't feel it, and I've eaten terribly this week! Let me clarify. When I say terribly, I don't mean that I've gone over my points on any given day (except maybe 1), but that I have spent all of my points on junk food...like this!
My week started good with walking, but came to a halting stop when *TMI* I started my period. This is only my second period in 4 years (yes, since before I got pregnant with Graysen). I had my first one last month (and lost 3.4 lbs that week - my all time week high!), but I would not say that it was a "typical" period. This month it came with full force - back aches, bloating, and moodiness. (Oh, my poor family.) I think my bloating is why I don't feel like I've lost any weight...I guess this is one way a scale is a good thing. Also, I will contribute my ridiculous ice cream consumption to this.
This week I plan on returning to my walking plan (a goal of 2 miles a day) and cooking most meals from this cookbook: 
That brings my weight loss to an even 16 pounds! It feels good to have overcome that "15" mark. Hopefully I will be able to report back to you on another good weight loss week next week!

When that week arrives for me I always crave junk and never feel like working out. yay for still having a great loss this week and passing the 15 pound mark!!!
Yay Ash! SO proud of you!
That's awesome!!! Way to Go girlfriend!!! :)
Haha, funny! Those ice creams look good!
I went grocery shopping yesterday and I swear I got a funny look from the cashier. I had a 2 tiered cart, and the top tier was full of salad, chicken breasts, hummus, milk, etc.
The bottom had ice cream, Oreos, sugary cereal, Little Debbies, and Pepsi.
(All but the Oreos were Dan's... but still!)
I think it would have made a really great photo!
Good job and good work!
Great job, Ashley! :)
My mother-in-law works for Weight Watchers...she lost all her weight using their program and I have heard so many success stories. Good luck!!
Much love,
