Well, I'm officially beginning again. The baby is 7 weeks old today and it's time that the scale moves down instead of up!
Goal for the Week: Write down what I eat each day and eat 2200 calories or less per day.
I know it sounds like a lot, but since I'm nursing full time subtract 500 calories and that would be what I'm really eating. That's still probably too much since I'm not exercising regularly yet. But it's better than I have been doing and to maintain is better than to gain. I should put that on a t-shirt!
So far today I have been faithfully writing in my food log. This is honestly the only way I know not to overeat. Otherwise it is way too easy to start eating unconsciously. Talking on the phone, watching TV, feeling bored or stressed and the next thing I know I've gobbled down 300 calories worth of crackers all at once. It's so easy to do!
So here's to step one! Eating consciously!
