Starting Over
So I managed to go to my TOPS meeting on Monday night, and renewed my membership. I weighed in, and got my new starting weight. I'm not sure how it's going to work, whether I'm considered to be starting over from this weight, or whether I'll go from my original starting weight. I'm only about 5 lbs lighter than what I started out at in January 2007. I felt like a bit of a fraud wearing my name sash with my big "20 lbs lost" ribbon. Oh well, it'll be earned all over again I guess. :)
We are doing well adjusting to our new addition. I've signed my son up for Kinderswim, which is a parent attended swimming class, so I'll be carrying my son around a swimming pool every Friday morning starting next week. I tried to get into a Women's strength training class, but it filled up really quickly, and I missed out. I'm on the waitlist for January though. So it looks like my exercise will consist of what I can get done with the kids around and the occasional drop in evening class I can get to, when hubby can watch the kids. That's assuming that Lorelei's breastfeeding can be put on a reliable schedule. I feel like we're almost there, but I have no back up supply of milk for bottle feedings, so we're pretty much attached at the breast. :)
For weight loss, I've been maintaining for the last few weeks, but I've been eating way too much junk food. It's been really bad for me motivation wise. I eat all this crappy fod, but the scale shows no increases, so I feel justified in my cravings. I feel like my body needs the calories ( I am still kind of eating for two.). I feel hungry all the time. I have been craving carbs like crazy, and eating cookies, chocolate and ice cream way too much. I'm eating way more crap than when I was pregnant. I think I may be trying to replace sleep with food, but it's not working. All I can say is that at least It's not showing on the scale. I'm planning on cutting down on them slowly, because I don't want the weight to drop too quickly, and I'm not sure I could stick to a restrictive diet right now anyway.
Hopefully you're all doing well. I'll be visiting your blogs, once I get used to the new EP layout and format.
