You're Going Down Jacille!

Anyone who knows me knows I like competition - I am in sales :). So, when my friend Jacille called recently and said she needed some motivation to loose the baby weight, I said "me too"! It's either loose the baby weight or buy a whole new wardrobe for the summer - and I am just too cheap and think my summer clothes are too cute to buy a new wardrobe. So...a contest has been formed. It's a race to loose 20 pounds and the looser has to treat both couples to a night out on the town.

We started Monday and I have been super good about my diet - I am in "the zone". I am definitely an all or nothing person. So, I either eat really healthy and count my calories or I eat whatever I want including tons of treats. I have to be in the right frame of mind to diet and I appreciate Jacille for helping me get there. I haven't quite jumped on the exercise bandwagon - it has been a hectic week. But, I plan to start that tomorrow.

I did have a set back this week when the nurse told me to increase my calories so I could try to get my milk supply back to nurse Holden (see my last post). I was eating more calories since I was nursing, but she said I needed even more to get my milk supply built up again. But, after a day or two of that and Holden still refusing to nurse, I cut out the extra calories. So, even though I am sad about stopping nursing - I am happy I get to really diet now and cut back my calories more. (Did I just say I was happy to diet??? Yeah Right!)
