Wow...Breastfeeding is awesome

I weighed in last night and to my surprise, I met my goal weight of 159.5. I don’t know how to explain it after a horrible week of eating. All I can think of is that breastfeeding must have burned some major calories. I should have eaten that cookie after all! I have 9.5 pounds left to reach my short term goal, which should be easy to achieve over the next four weeks since I’ll start training for a sprint triathlon next week. I’ll have six weeks to train so it’s not much time, but I’m excited to get back into shape.

Over the next two weeks, I’m going to attempt to eat mighty healthy. There are some friends coming into town then and they’ve rented a party boat on Lake Travis as a pre-wedding event (oh crap! I’ve got to fit into a dress by June 20th). I will in no way be in a swim suit, but I’d like to be as tone and as small as I possibly can get in two weeks time. I’m expecting to lose 4-5 pounds by then, which will put me at 155ish. My menu will hopefully include lean meats, veggies, small amount of grains and skim milk. Easier said than done. It’s kinda hard to fix a healthy meal with a baby at my boob. Wish me luck.
