Hello, lovely friends! It’s time for another edition of Post Comment Love, where Stephanie and I come together to celebrate and share our favorite posts from the week. We love reading your content, and it’s always so wonderful to see the same faces (and new ones!) linking up week after week. This little community we’ve created together is something truly special, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the ongoing support and interactions. So grab your best post of the week, link it up, and let’s get sharing!
A Quiet Week at Home: New Recipes & Weight Loss Struggles
It’s been a relatively quiet week here—nothing too eventful, just the usual hustle of school runs and work-from-home life. The boys have been at school, and I’ve been spending my days working at home, trying out new recipes for family meals. I’m happy to report that so far, I’ve had two big successes! It’s always such a win when you find new dishes that everyone will actually eat. I’m trying out something new again today, so fingers crossed it’s another hit. Finding new meals that the family enjoys can feel like a small victory, and it makes the daily task of meal prep so much more enjoyable.
While the meals are going well, I can’t say the same about my weight loss journey. I’ve been stuck at the same weight for the past month, and honestly, it’s a bit frustrating. Between my foot issues that have kept me from using the treadmill, and my efforts on the exercise bike that haven’t seemed to do much, I’ve decided it’s time for some drastic action. I’ve decided to halve my portion sizes and reduce my intake significantly—something that worked for me in the past. I need to kickstart the weight loss, and cutting back on portion sizes is the best option right now.
In addition to adjusting my diet, I’ve come up with a new plan to get more active. Starting on Monday, I’ll be walking my son, LP, to school every morning, and then walking back to pick him up in the afternoon. That’s about 5 miles a day! I’m hoping that regular walking will help get my body moving again and make a difference, especially since I need to get in shape for our big holiday to Walt Disney World later this year. If you’ve ever been to Disney, you’ll know there’s a ton of walking involved (we’re talking about 300 miles of walking during the trip!). So, I’m hoping this extra daily walking will help me prepare for that adventure while also helping me get back on track with my health.
