...I've been trying to cut sugar and bread out of my diet and let me tell you that doing this while nursing has been VERY difficult, yet very effective. Last year when I cheated just a little I paid for it on the scale the next day (I wasn't nursing anymore). But this time I was still able to enjoy ice cream and other treats once or twice a week without too much effect. Although last weekend for the girls birthday I gained almost three pounds back, thanks to Kalua pork and the girls birthday cake.
I was a little worried about how it would affect my milk supply and although I did have to nurse Sage a little more often, I don't think my almost 18 pound baby has been lacking nutrients. Sorry I wasn't blogging...I just needed to stay busy and keep my mind off of all the food I was craving and I thought writing about it would just make it harder.
Obviously from the pic, I still have more to lose (I think I will always have too much junk in the trunk), but I am going to wait until next year to try and get that off. I am just happy that I can wear most of my old clothes again. And at least now I can "enjoy the holidays" a little more--hopefully I don't gain it all back. Oh well, bring on the pumpkin pie!!!
