On My Weigh

Well, I’m doing really well getting back to me. I’ve lost over eight pounds in a week. I don’t believe that’s too fast, either. A lot of that was still residual baby fat from the pregnancy. My milk supply is good - maybe too good, but that might be too much information for most of you - so I’m not worried about Nathan’s health. I don’t think I’ll keep up this weight loss pace, but it sure is nice for now!

I added a food find to my web page today. They’re muffins from OurDailyMuffin.com. YUM!! They sent me a sample AGES ago and I forgot they were in my freezer. I had a couple this morning and I think I’m hooked! Check them out!

A reminder for anyone that emails me… check out the warning on my home page. I have a very aggressive SPAM filter and if I don’t respond, it’s likely I didn’t get your email. Other than commenting to journal entries, the way to make sure I read your mail is to use the link on my main page and leave the subject heading of your email alone. I hate to think some of you might not be getting responses from me…

Well, Nathan calls, gotta nurse the baby. He’s a boob man… like his daddy. Ha ha!

I said I was giving myself until Monday (yesterday) to get back on program. I couldn’t wait. I started I think Thursday or Friday. I’ve been on program since, using the FlexPoints. I’m trying not to focus on the scale so much, but it’s SO depressing to realize how far I have to go. Nothing fits me. Just about everything I own is small or medium tops and size 4 or 6 bottoms. I have just a few large t-shirts and I’m wearing my husband’s jeans. I just don’t want to wear maternity clothes anymore. I’m hoping that I can bum out with what I’ve got until my maternity leave is up and then maybe I’ll fit in some of the clothes I bought when I was very early in pregnacy but not ready for maternity clothes. I know it’s going to take awhile to get back to a six. But I’ll do it. I’ve VERY anxious to start some exercise. I’ve been itching to do Pilates to help get this stomach under control, but I don’t think I’m allowed to yet. I’m going to call my OB and see. Can’t wait to get back to me!!!

He’s here! My precious boy has joined the family. Nathan Kyle was born at 3:42am, Monday, March 8, 2004. He weighed 8 lbs, 4.9 oz, and was 21 1/2 inches long. He’s absolute precious. My four year old is smitten. My two year old is suspicious. Jonathan and I are… overwhelmed!

I’m not thrilled about how much weight I have to lose to get back to goal. Whoa. But I know I can do it. I’m going to start full force on Monday. I don’t want to focus too much right now when I really need to be worrying about other things. On Monday I’ll evaluate how much I have to lose and how long it will take to get back to goal. Watch this space!
