After I had Justus I felt like all moms feel after having a baby- like a sack of dough. The newness of a baby and my un-bump inspired me to lose weight because I certainly didn't want to be wearing my maternity clothes still. Unfortunately, I had a rough postpartum beginning and was held hostage to my bed by a insatiable newborn. I was able to get just to my pre-pregnancy weight (which wasn't my ideal weight to begin with) but battling residual back pain from birth as well as anemia and probably a little pure laziness tossed in there, I haven't been exercising hardly at all this summer. Actually, this is the first summer I think I have hardly been outside.
We also found Cash & Carry which has lots of fatty meats in BULK (great for throwing parties over the 4th of July) and so, we have excess of that. All of that in combination with my love for coffee with sugar and cream has added another 5 lbs to the equation and frankly... I have just given in and said, "Whatever."
But things have to change. I can't decide in the beginning of winter that all of a sudden Im unhappy and need to lose the extra weight because I will be depressed and miserable. I dream about having muscles and looking forward to pushing a little further and all that comes with working out. Right now, Im just dead weight.
So as I say this, my darling husband is asking me if I want some bacon with my eggs... "Of course dear, anything for you!" My last day of indulgence.
So I will be out shopping for groceries so I don't get stuck where I usually do, and that is starting a diet and not having anything in the pantry to eat. I'm starting in Phase 2 of the South Beach Diet because I'm still nursing Justus and I dont want to hurt my milk supply or his/my nutrients.
Grocery List:
- Turkey and Canadian bacon
- Sugar free Jell-O
- Lettuce & Salad gear
- Veggies from my list
- Chicken breasts and fish
- Nuts (for snacks)
- Low fat string cheese & shredded cheese
- Part-skim ricotta cheese Splenda or other sugar substitute
