Weight Update

So, One week down... I weighed in this morning at 152.8 lbs. That is 6 lbs down. I know that sounds like a lot but like I told you, I was eating A LOT before I started this.
I had Bunco last night with the ladies, and darling Emilie made a FABULOUS meal for us and I'll tell you what... I ate plenty! So I need to make it clear, I am not being a perfect eater, but I don't plan to either. Especially after having a baby you need to give yourself wiggle room, and like I mentioned before, I am breastfeeding and need to take in enough calories to be sure my milk doesn't dry up. Though... I read up on it and word is that you can lessen calories but be sure your fluid levels and vitamins are sufficient and you won't have any problems with milk supply.
So lots and lots of water!

Anyway, Steve and I are still running together, Tues, Thurs and Saturday. We only run just over 3 miles at a pace of about 9 minute miles. I have done a little bit of stomach conditioning to prepare for my first week back at the gym. Next week: An Abs class and one Body Pump class.

I have found something that works really well for me, I would love to hear if it works for any of you... let me know
Remember the old saying "Eat Breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince and dinner like a popper"? Well I have my own little twist
I eat a small breakfast, A LARGE lunch and normal dinner.
The reason I don't do the Breakfast like a king is because it makes me eat more throughout the day. Especially since Breakfast is usually a High-Sugar, or High-Fat meal. (Cereal, Pancakes, Bacon, Sausage..) I prefer a Light N'Fit yogurt, or eggs with tomatoes or a Protein bar.
A large lunch is great because it propels you throughout the rest of the day, gives you the energy you need for work and we make SMARTER decisions at lunch. Chicken, Sandwiches, Fruit..) all things that we usually overlook for dinner. This is a great time for snacks if you need them since you have the rest of the day to burn them off.
Dinner I make sure to eat before 7pm and drink only water the rest of the evening until bed.


Seems to be working thus far.
Wish me luck in the weeks to come!
