LYNNABEL's CalorieKing Blog
I wish I had more time to be part of this community and the others on line that I value so much (

campers) - I think about everyone often, but work is extremely busy and when I'm home, I'm with Will.
I have a moment right because I'm going to shower before S goes out to play racket ball.
I'm down another 2 lbs - yipee! This was a bit unexpected as this week wasn't perfect. I missed two morning workouts and my cals, which I've been bad about actually getting them logged into CK (I kno...

Down a pound. Yipee! It was closer to 147.5, but not close enough for me to put that. Non digital scales can be hard to read.
GUESS WHAT?!? Will slept from 9:20 PM to 5 AM!!!!!!!!!!! I woke up at 5 this morning when Steve went to get him because he was fussing - and that was the first time he woke up! This is SO huge.

Down 3 lbs - TYJ! Measurements down as well - I suspected this before measuring as my clothes felt a bit different. Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! Yipee! 19 more lbs to go.
Goes to show that what works for me is, unfortunately, 1200 cals/day plus exercise. Today is my "free" day - where I eat what I want, without going terribly overboard, but which gets me through the rough parts of the week as something to look forward t...

I had my last New Family Connections meeting yesterday. It was really sad - I've enjoyed the other moms so very much.
I said this to the group (I'm paraphrasing, obviously): "I thrive on and rely on hearing about other mother's experiences with childbirth and caring for their babies. Since I value this so much, I think I often over-share my own experiences in case there is someone who will benefit from hearing it. I listened for other women to describe the way I was feeling, and didn'...
