Starting to Lose It!

It's Monday morning, and I'm raring to go. I jumped out of bed, checked my email, Twitter, and Facebook. I read a page of my book. I played 10 minutes of Bejeweled. Then I decided to lose weight. Yep, it was that simple.

Okay, this is the umpteenth time I'm doing it, but after seeing that a friend lost 16 lbs. since Christmas, and watching her refuse some chocolate covered almonds that I was wolfing down, I thought it might be time to take control.

What are my hurdles? I am still nursing my 8-month-old, so I can't cut out too many calories or I will sacrifice my milk supply. I also need to worry about rapid weight loss, because losing weight too quickly will release toxins into her milk. Vigorous exercise releases lactic acid into my milk, which makes it bitter to taste and thus Baby won't drink. Slow and steady is my only option here.

This week, I'm going to try not to drink my calories. Yes, I'll have a couple of glasses of milk, but other than that, I'll be having unsweetened lemonade or water. More than likely it'll be the lemonade. I hate plain water.
