This Monday makes me happier. After a 2 pound gain week before last, I lost 3 last week! That's a total of 12.5 pounds in 6 weeks. I'm half way there. YEA! I want to lose 12 more to hit my goal weight. However, I've notice a decrease in my milk supply, which is something that I was worried might happen. When you are breastfeed you should increase your calorie count to 2500-2800 calories/day. I know there have been several days that I've been below that. The combination of dieting and starting back to work (only pumping twice in a 12 hour period) is putting a strain on my milk supply. The bottom line is, there is nothing more important than providing the healthiest nutrition for my baby as possible. I refuse to jeopardize her nutrition to quickly lose 12 more pounds! I will still try to lose weight, but I will also have to increase my calories, so my weight loss won't be as quick. To avoid boring you with a -0.5/week, I probably won't update weekly. But you can bet your bottom dollar as soon as I hit that goal weight I'll be screaming from the hill tops...I'll be typing in the largest font it'll allow me, because that's a day I've been dreaming of for a while. Until then, I'll keep looking at my skinny-me pictures and gazing down at my sweet angel as I provide the best thing I can...and try to walk that fine line.
I'm very proud of our Bella who is in her big girl panties for the 3rd day with no accident! Last week I worked 6 days, so Jacob watched the girls more than usual. Even though I was sad that I wasn't home with them, I think daddy/daughter time is good! He told me last night that he was in awe of how much Bella is learning and how quickly she is growing.
