Re: Hot Holiday Moms Challenge-Week One Check in Thread

So how is everyone doing so far. I am eating much better than I had been but it is so hard not to just stress eat. It's a real trigger for me and I am having a very, very hard time with Miranda. I'm trying to stay focused though.
I am hoping to get to the YMCA today to sign up and check out the child care but we are having the morning from hell and I have to work this afternoon so I'm not sure it's going to work out but I'm going to try. I need to start exercising in the worst way.

Yesterday was a bad day for me. It was my first day back to work and the first time away from DS for more than 2 hours since he was born. I definitely ate too much junk food because of stress, but I'm really focused today. Good luck to everyone!!

It happens to the best of us. I had candy at work the other night because I was so stressed out. But today is a new day and we're going to meet our goals! Chat Icon Chat Icon

I am not doing as well as I could be because I can't find any time to eat at all! I have to start making an effort to eat something before breakfast because as of now, I'm getting up around 7 and not getting a chance to eat a thing until after 12 or 1.

So far just contacted my group and tried to drink more water.

First step tomorrow will be eliminating my daily venti vanilla soy latte from starbucks. I think that'll help me a lot since I don't burn off hardly any of the calories I consume in a day.

I'm doing ok, but thought of a question. I am exclusively pumping. I don't know if it is ok to diet. Does anyone know? I thought I am supposed to still be eating a little more than normal.

Another thought, when I was pregnant, I ate whenever I was hungry and feel like my stomach now expects that much food. I kind of forgot how much is normal. Does anyone else feel this way?

Weight watchers has a plan for nursing mothers. I was on it (while I nursed Gracie) and you get 10 extra points a day. Check it out.

I've been good so far, but the weekends are usually my problem. I've been sticking to WW. Gotta love the extra 10 points for nursing! Chat Icon Chat Icon It makes it so much easier. Yesterday we went jogging at the park and this morning we went to my Stroller Strides class. I'm thinking about quitting the Stroller Strides for a while because it's at 9am and that's usually Brendan's nap time. He used to sleep in the stroller, but lately all he does is cry. Chat Icon

Re: Hot Holiday Moms Challenge-Week One Check in Thread

I haven't been around the last few days since I went back to work, but I've been doing really well. I'm on WW, and I lost 7 lbs in two weeksChat Icon Just a gazillion more to goChat Icon My biggest challenge is that I am my own worst enemy. I want results and I want them now, so after a few weeks, I tend to feel like I'm never going to lose the weight, and then I just stop trying. So, while I still have motivation now, a few weeks from now, I'm going to need my @ss kicked!

Hi everyone!
I've been really busy the past 2 days and haven't been online much. Yesterday was good until work then I had candy and overdid it on Chinese. Today I was at a class all day so I ate what they provided but didn't overeat and did well at dinner. I was so starving though and I hate when I get like that because I feel like I inhale my food.
Still haven't made it to join the YMCA but they are open until noon tomorrow with childcare so I am going to try to get up and out of the house to sign of and test Miranda in the childcare.
Sounds like everyone is doing so well! Congrats on the weightloss and sticking with your plan.
