Losing It!

Hey all.  Long time no blog.  My blog title is appropriate because I am on a mission to lose some baby weight.  Now, there are times when the title takes other meaning (i.e. losing my s*hit, losing my mind, losing my sanity, losing my sleep, etc. etc.) but for this case it means I am GOING TO LOSE THIS BABY WEIGHT.

I went to my 1 week doctor appointment post c-section and found out I had lost about 20 pounds in six days.  Pretty freaking amazing.  Now I have another 38 pounds to shed.  I basically need to shed from my body the amount of weight that is equivalent to my toddler.  Sounds horrific but it will be the ONLY way I will fit back into my pre-preggo pants.  And even then, those aren't the pants I wore pre-Sofia.  That would be about another 15 pounds lost.  One day, but for now, I will focus on the number 38.

In order to accomplish this amazing feat, I have joined (again) the Weight Watchers community.  I am nursing, so they award me with a few extra points each day.  I am unable to exercise for another four weeks, so I cannot earn any exercise points (waah).  Until then, I am trying to watch everything I eat and train my brain that binging on salty or sweet foods to satisfy a pregnancy craving cannot continue any longer.  Oh how I will miss that (especially when I return to work at the bakery...).

I have a scale and plan to keep the blog world updated with my weight loss.  I weigh in each Sunday, so expect something weight-loss relevant on Sunday or Monday each week.  Now if I only I could find a battery for my scale...
