Yesterday was rough... Low on sleep, crabby babe at home. Hubs got dinner so I was deliciously over the calorie count. If I hadn't snacked on so much junk though that wouldn't be a problem! Took the kiddo to the grocery store after daycare pickup, and got some chocolate along with the one item needed. 'so it goes'
Did a few squats yesterday but no significant workout :( need to make time when it becomes possible. Time to face the day!

Ahhh progress!
Today's weight:176.2!
A combo of calorie counting, nursing & whatever exercise I can fit in (which isn't much!) about 2 times a week calisthenics and dance practice.
I am excited but the weekend approaches and last weekend was a complete back slide! In addition I totally excavated Easter candy & indulged a bunch! But managed to stay under my goal calorie count every day. I hope next week is as successful as this week has been!

Getting healthy
So the second babe is about half a year old & I am starting to get motivated about losing the baby weight. Between sleepless or near sleepless nights, postpartum depression and hormone swings, and just plain lack of free time, I have been alternately free of motivation to get in shape and frustrated that I am not slimming down.
This week is the first of a journey back to healthy. My weaknesses are sweets and all I can eat of them, lack of exercise time, and mindless, emotion fueled or bored over eating habits.
I hope to conquer those weaknesses and so far this week has been great!
I started calorie counting with a goal of staying 500 cal below my target to stay at my current weight. I am careful to stay hydrated and watching milk output to make sure I don't sabotage it by a strict diet. A friend gave me some workout advice...to work major muscle groups instead of the 30 min aerobic video format I am used to, as I can't find time to do Jillian until baby gets bigger. Also trying to squeeze dance practices in as I can.
So at the Friday after starting this on Sunday I am 1 pound lighter, from 180 on Saturday to 179 on Thursday! having cut 500 or so cal every day and milk output is seemingly unaffected. I get hungry every day before mealtimes and depending on the calorie circumstances I try a healthy snack, or wash the hunger down with cold water.
My goal is to lose about 20 lbs but I will settle for 15. The first 8 weeks I am shooting for 1 lb lost each week. Wish me luck!!!
