Not very long, or very hard. But i did it.
i weighed in this morning and lost another 2 pounds. Feeling good about my progress, considering that my program is to lose 1.5lbs/week and i've been losing 2. i know that every one tells me that the weight will come off, especially for BFing moms, but i'm trying to get healthy as well. Need to focus on what i'm putting in my body as well as how i'm taking care of it.
i've been avoiding sugary drinks this past week! i did have one can of soda over the weekend on a lunch date with family. There has been plenty of times when i wanted to give-up but i know that this is what i need to do. Baby steps...
So, the holidays are approaching!!! i can not wait to visit family again and enjoy our first Thanksgiving and Christmas with baby C! And with the holidays come lots of goodies...and lots of goodies are hard to say "no" to. i'm not going to torture myself and say that i can't have any sugar, especially during the holidays. But i am going to limit myself. i am going to avoid sugars/goodies most of the time. When there is pie i will have a piece. When auntie makes her fudge i will enjoy. But it won't be all the time and it won't be a whole bunch. It will be enough to not make myself go crazy but it will only be enough to keep myself on track.

The next step of my plan to get healthy and lose the weight is to start doing my pilates video. The problem is time. i don't seem to have any! My day consists of feeding baby and myself, sleeping, cleaning house, or taking care of other things while baby sleeps, and the little bit of "me" time i get isn't long enough for pilates....
Once i get this little man a little more figured out i will be able to start exercising more. It is hard to do the things i want when time doesn't allow it. And when there is time (when baby is asleep) i want to be sleeping right along with him. My energy is gone...sleep doesn't come often enough. Looking forward to when baby C is on a more predictable routine and when this momma gets to sleep through the night! Until then, i will soak up every little bit of his being and enjoy it while i can. It will not last forever - that is the beauty and the beast of it all!

This was taken a few weeks back...baby was only 3 weeks old and i was feeling up for a walk. This was the first one we took as a family, and the first one i got to take after my section. It felt so good to get out!
Until next time...ta ta for now!
