Catching Up

Those who say that breastfeeding will make you shed the baby weight are A- lying, B-over exaggerating, C- Just don't know any different or D- very lucky.  I'm one of the ones where the weight is just not shedding off like I expected it to based on all of the information I received from others.  Granted if I had chosen to formula feed I might have wished I had breastfed- you just never know. [side note: the reason I chose to nurse M was not because of this]

I have also learned that stress is not good for weight loss either.  Last week I ate healthy and worked out and actually gained weight.  It's not fun to step on a scale after a hard week of working to find out you have gained back all that you had lost the week before- an no it was not muscle weight!

Terrible iPhone pic, but she was just too darn cute!

Good thing M and Bella love our walks.  The big D got a cold front this week and we had to bundle M up for our nightly walk- she looked pretty sweet in her little hat and blanket.  I have reset my goal of being back at my wedding weight by our birthday in December- completely manageable as long as I actually stick with it.
