almost back to where i started!
hey my buddies - boy do i miss all of you. wish my slow and crashing buddyslim computer woes were fixed. seems like i can blog, so that i will do!
well, as of this morning i am at 176 which is just a pound over where i started last year when i joined BS. Now, that may not sound like much of an accomplishment, but as a mom of a 3 week old I am psyched! I have about 15 more to drop of baby weight and then can get back onto dropping the other 15 or so I need to lose. It’s very exciting, although, I have to say i am still feeling the effects of the weight just dropping off. I am walking again, breastfeeding takes alot of calories, and i am okay on the eats - no big binges - but not eating extraordinarily well or light or anything. The weight isn’t just rolling off, but slowly and steadily it is coming. I remember from when i lost the 18 pound before that it came slowly and i was okay with that. I will be okay with that again now. 1-3 pounds a week is good by me!
i am in a funny place with eating, too, as I am nursing and my son has a little bit of acid reflux. WE also had a couple days this week of super fussy baby and we worried that colic was starting. Last couple of night have been better, so fingers crossed. Our first son was a bit colicky/fussy and it was really difficult. We are hoping for less of that - it is amazing how when my babies cry it just kills me when i can’t soothe them. Makes me feel inadequate as a mom,. like i’m doing something wrong, and just so sad for the little guy. Even thought we try everything! I am considering giving up dairy to see if that will help. I started that yesterday and then messed up and had yogurt with dinner. This is the confusion, too, because as a vegetarian so many of the foods i eat are possible allergens/gas-producing foods so what’s a girl to do. Yesterday I ate mainly carbs all day! UGH! Got to figure this out.
Okay, he is starting to wake - he’s all snuggled up in a sling on me right now - what a nice little babe!
Think I’ll go for another walk this morning before a meeting for preschool and pickup of my older one.
you all take care!

So good to have you blogging girl! Hey, my sister-in-law just went through that with her new little one. She cut out the dairy and she says it is like having a totally different baby! Wishing you the best. Give my surrogate nephews a hug and a kiss from me will ya? Can’t wait till you are able to play again!
Hey girlie… great to see a blog from you. So glad to see you and your son doing so well.
Debbie you are doing so great!!! Look at you getting a walk in with a three week old…you never fail to amaze me!
so good to be here! wish i could email u all to say thanks! that keeps crashing! so thanks!!!!
ohhhhhh!!! i love babies…. i love it when they just lie there and let you cuddle and kiss them as much as you want!!
great job already!! sheesh, it is no wonder you are the hero in these parts!!
yummmmm, give that precious boy kisses for all of us!!
You’re one busy hot momma! Hey, I am so glad the weight is coming off…..and you know what it means—you did well on not putting excess weight during your pregnancy!! Keep up the good work and I sincerely hope you find the right combination of foods to help your little one’s digestive system—do you take flax seeds? I know they help with colic so maybe if you eat 2 tablespoons along with your yogurt, it could help!

Your doing great. I still have 11 lbs to go till i am at my pre-pregancy weight. You are rockin girl!
That was my comment. Not sure why it didnt link the picture.
Whoops, so here’s my answer as to why you’re cutting dairy out. Got it. I hope it works Deb.
Congrats on the loss. You amaze me! Even with a 3 week old infant, you’re out there getting back in shape, dropping lbs and staying healthy.
Great job! Go CAT!
Great job! You’re an inspiration.
You are doing awesome Debbie
Keep up the great work!
Remember slow and steady wins the race.
Have a great time with those boys of yours.
They really do grow up too fast ya know.
Hugs Debbie

My first thought was are you getting enough EFAs because most people do not. It really does help. I have not heard that dairy can cause that so thank you. Now is it something to do with the diary or the chemicals that are usually in the diary as a result of hormone and antibiotic injections into the cows? Hmmm….. I think you will find the right combination of foods for yourself by listening to your body. I know for myself it is hard to do vegetarian without soy and dairy and get enough protein to balance the carbs.
All the best Debbie, it sounds like you are doing well and you know you are a good mom, so please knock those thoughts out of you mind OR perhaps then them be and then let some new positive thoughts into your head like, DAMN I am a terrific mom who has done great bringing this beautiful boy into the world. Anyway, enjoy the activity and hope the colic stays away.
Hugs to you!!! *flowers*
I need to re-read before sending but I did not think it would work. The comments just have not been going through.
What I meant was, Perhaps let those thoughts be and then let some positive thoughts enter into your head.

Sure missed you! Awww, I can see the little one all snuggled!
Good luck with getting the the digestive thing under control.
I love how you are not stressing about getting the weight off too quick. Slower is best. And when you think about it, you didn’t gain much with your pregnancy either! Kudos! Love you lots, Kama
