Close but no cigar

Day two of following through. Well I tried anyway. Maybe not hard enough. We'll start with the good news...

I tracked all my food today and journaled it in a great WW app on my phone. It's totally helpful. I still have 10 pts left and thinking about having some sort of dessert. Yay!

On having faith, that was a little more challenging. My beautiful baby boy has a cow's milk allergy. I'm breastfeeding him I recently found out that he is allergic to the dairy in my diet. So I've stopped eating milk, cheese, butter, etc. I thought it would be hard, but honestly it's not. If I were doing it for some fad diet I'd be dying right now, dreaming of cheese. But since it's for my baby, so that it doesn't upset his GI track... it's no problem. I'm not even trying to sound selfless or anything, it's just the truth. Anyway, as hard as I try I unknowingly ate a sauce that was made with butter last night. I was really upset about it when I found out and continued to be upset today, especially when he was effected by that dairy. But I didn't let it ruin my entire day I just prayed as I fed my baby asking God to bless his meal and not let it harm his belly. That's all I can do. So maybe I only get half points on that one.

Now for the bad news...
I totally blew it on the pilates goal. I will do better tomorrow. I really wanted to change my pilates goal and make it 3 times a week instead of everyday... but that would not be following through. Anyway, I need that 45 min 7 days a week to meet my 4th goal of losing 40 pounds. Geez.

  1. Alisa, don't get so down on yourself. You're breastfeeding and cut out diary. With that alone, your body is a furnace and burning through those calories. The pounds are going to shed off, just watch. You're doing great!

  2. You did Great! Everyday we get better and better. How awesome that you kept your cool and prayed over Luca. That is so beautiful! If you want to commit to Pilates everyday, maybe you can shorten the time to 20 minutes to get the routine down. One of the best gifts we give to ourselves is forgiveness. You're an AMAZING mommy because you love so much!!
