Its that time again….

Yup, it sure is! I have had the baby, now its time to work off those pounds! So I gained about 25lbs during my pregnancy, not to mention the extra pounds I had on before the pregnancy that I was working on getting off… I still have ten pounds to lose from what I gained during the pregnancy. So I am going to start my weekly blog on what I have gained or loss and share recipes/ideas/struggles etc. I find that sharing on my blog my journey of losing this weight helps me, because I know a lot of you who are reading this (because you’re my friends & family) and I feel accountable to weigh in and give a good report! So lets get to business! Oh and I am bringing back my “Flavorful Tuesdays” yay!! Some people have asked about where they went, so I am bringing them back! I’ll do my first one today :) But it might not be every week, with having a 2mth old a 4yr old and an 8yr old… my days seem to be a bit busy. Not to mention my school (13hrs) , and my photography business that I am working on, its gets very busy! So I can promise I will do it at least once a month, maybe more but for now we’ll do it once a month.

First Weigh In…
Was today!!! I lost 1lb…yes that is great, but I need it to be more! But I am not going to complain…I guess :) I am excited because the doctor told me that just by breast feeding alone (which with my other 2 kids I did it for a year, and plan to do with this one as well) I burn 500 calories a day! So she said if I am eating well, that means I could lose 1lb a week just by breast feeding… Which also means, if I am watching what I am eating, and not just eating well and along with exercise that I could lose more than a pound a week!! So this pound I lost this week was basically my breast feeding pound. Because to be perfectly honest, I didn’t do amazing at my diet this week. I watched what I ate, as in I didn’t over eat…but I didn’t do my best in the choices I made. So that makes me excited to know that when I go into this week exercising more, and eating very good I could lose more! So we shall see what this week brings!
