Maybe I should move "losing the mama muffin" post to another day, cause mondays just suck for us.
I was however down 1.3 lbs from last week! Which is great! I'm excited since I ate a lot of crap while Chris was gone and was pretty lazy. Ha.
Yesterday Carson woke up with a snotty nose and a nasty cough, other wise he seems to be doing fine but I can tell he is under the weather. So far Oliver isn't showing any signs of catching his cold. So thats good.
I'm going to try working out more this week, but until Carson is feeling better we're all on house arrest. I'm trying to work out while Chris is home.
I'm seriously having a love/hate realationship with breastfeeding right now. I love doing it and love that I am able to nurse and pump so easily. I hate that it makes me hungrier than a rabid wolf. I was always able to control myself when I was pregnant. I only ate during meal times and a mid afternoon snack. Now I always want food...constantly. I know my body is just trying to make more than enough food for Oliver, which I appreciate. But COME ON! I did not need 5 pot stickers after I had already had dinner. I didn't need to eat another banana after eating breakfast.
I don't think weight watchers will work for me until I stop nursing so I'm just going to try my hardest to lose weight while watching what I eat but not restricting myself, and exercise. I can't wait for it to get nice so we can go on family walks in the evening.
Try My Fitness Pal just to keep a handle on calories. I was trying to do "maintenance" on weight watchers when I first got pregnant and it just didn't make sense (and I've lost 60 lbs on WW pre-pregnancy). My Fitness Pal at least keeps me accountable (and its free) and I stay in the regular habit of tracking until I'm ready to go back on WW. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGood luck... I have heard that women's bodies hang onto a few extra pounds while nursing and I've also heard some women get very thin while nursing. I am going through the same thing as you. My baby is 6 weeks old now. Keep us posted on how things shape up! (No pun intended)
