Bah

My body is not making any sense these days and it's frustrating. A few days ago I was down to 155 exactly and then I woke up this morning and I was almost 158, what's up with that? I no longer have my milk supply as an excuse as my milk has almost completely dried up and I am not full any more. I did go out on Saturday night and eat at Cafe Rio but I ate very little during the day so that I could have a bigger dinner and we shared a Rainbow slushee from Pace's for dessert and I have gained almost 3 pounds, what a bummer! I am hoping it is just extra water weight and will go away soon....here's hoping!

This week, healthy eating and exercise. I have to admit though, I am not 100% ready and focused to do this so I may not see results. Exercise I can do but the total healthy eating/counting calories etc. is not something I am totally committed to yet. Maybe in another week, we shall see.

Time to start working!

Well, it has now been 4 weeks since I had my baby and I think I've lost about as much as I'm going to without putting some exercise in the mix. I am also weaning from pumping and so my milk production is still around although lessening every day. However, once my milk supply diminishes, I will probably lose a pound since I still feel a little top heavy. I stopped pumping on my left side a few nights ago and yesterday I didn't pump at all. I do have a plugged duct which I'm hoping will stop hurting soon so I can really start to exercise. Until then, all I can pretty much do it walk because of the sore spots.

These past few days have been a little frustrating for me. I have eaten pretty healthy and eaten less than normal to help the weight loss and nothing has budged. In fact, I have gone up a pound from last week, probably due to the fact that I haven't pumped and I am somewhat full of milk.

Oh well, once my milk is gone and I can really start to exercise harder, I think I will see some progress. I was hoping to make it down 30 pounds and then have to work hard for the last 10 but I guess I will have to work hard for the last 15. That's okay, I will do it.

On another note, it feels really good to not feel hungry all the time. I find when I am eating a meal that I am full after eating just half which is great! It is really nice to be able to eat less and feel satisfied. Yesterday I had cereal in the morning, then a peanut butter sandwich on wheat bread and green grapes for lunch. I had 94% fat free kettle corn for a snack and then tator tot casserole with fruit for dinner. I did have a little no sugar added chocolate ice cream for a treat in the evening. I feel like I'm doing well and I'm on my way!
