The final countdown...

So tomorrow is my first weigh-in. Here's hoping for a good one! I'm not actually expecting much. Not because I haven't been following the program, I really have. But because I get a ton of points. When your breastfeeding they add like 30 extra points to your daily allowance so I'm actually eating really well. I don't feel deprived at all. Usually when I'm doing well on a diet I eat air, sawdust and splenda and I'm completely miserable. So it just doesn't seem like it would work... we will see.

So on to today: totally tracked my food and still had some points left over for an Edy's fruit bar. I'm totally addicted!! They are only 2 points so I never just eat one. Also, I eat my first meal at 11:30. Baby steps, it was better than the usual 2:00. Tomorrow I will shoot for eating breakfast before 10:30.

Tomorrow I take my son for a check up on his cow's milk allergy. I'm feeling positive, I've been doing really well excluding dairy from my diet. So, I'm just trying to practice having faith that his allergy is close to being under control.

Also, last night at like 3:00am while up with the boy I was thinking about how well I took care of myself while I was pregnant. I eat only "pregnancy friendly foods", drank tons of water, eat close to no sugar and caffeine and took my prenatal vitamins every day. Since having my son all that is out the window. Of course I no longer need to exclude tuna and brie from my diet, but there is no reason why I couldn't have kept up the rest of it. It made me realize that I need to take care of myself as well or at least close to as well as I take care of my son. So I'm adding a couple of new goals for myself to follow through on:

1. drink 8 glasses of water a day

2. take vitamins daily

3. Make my health a priority (it can't just be about being a smaller size)

Oh, and one last thing... I was day dreaming today and it occurred to me that we should be on Oprah. We could talk about how amazing our accomplishments are and how the Follow Through Club changed our lives. Then our club becomes one of Oprah's favorite things and we all get book deals. Some incentive to follow through Ladies!!
