It’s been 25 weeks on Nutrisystem for myself and 21 weeks for Kaytlin.
What a wild and crazy week it was here. I had a date meal out with my husband, Easter, roofers pounding over my head for two days, Emma & Ethan at each other’s throats all week… yadda yadda yadda. I’m not going to try to make any excuses. It is what it is… an off week. I tried to be on my best behavior, but I am a stress eater. I was completely stressed out with my routine off kilter, my house inside (husband tiling the bathroom) and outside (new roof) was a mess… I caved.
So this week I am not going to focus on how much weight I lost. I am focusing on how far I’ve (we’ve) come. Kaytlin and I have been noticing changes in each other but it is so hard to reflect on yourself. No matter how much weight I lose, I always “feel” like the same person. I sometimes still see the heavier version of myself in the mirror, too.
With Kaytlin’s 19th birthday this week we had a family get together and we decided to re-take a few photos to put side by side with last years photos.
I am loving this comparison for Kaytlin. I have noticed her confidence and the way she carries herself changing for the better in recent weeks. When she saw these photos the smile on her face warmed my heart.
And for the record… yes I made both cakes. This year she had a plain and simple request… yellow cake, canned chocolate frosting and sprinkles. I love that girl!
It’s hard to believe my baby girl is (going to be) 19! What an amazing woman she has become. Kaytlin, if you are reading this, I am so proud of you sweety. You are an amazingly selfless, caring, beautiful, creative, talented young woman and I am so blessed to have you as my daughter and my friend.
So there you have it… our unofficial before and after photos. I am sure that between May and November, when I started Nutrisystem, I put on a few more pounds. Unfortunately I didn’t take a real “before” photo. Maybe at 40 lbs loss (for me) I will dig around and find a true before (time frame wise) and after photo for you :O).
I know you are curious how we did…
This week I gained 2 lbs. It seems the 30 lb mark doesn’t want to let go, but this too shall pass and I will be hurdling towards 35 and then 40!
That puts me at 30 lbs in 25 weeks
