So I haven’t been good at keeping up with my calorie counting. It started by going out to breakfast one morning and not being able to track the calories. Then I actually started making more meals at home, which isn’t easy to calorie count either. So I might have to go about this a different way.
I did decide not to do the dairy free thing. My doula came over last week and told me that in her opinion, her baby acne looks super normal. She said dairy allergies usually have much more severe reactions. I felt better having that reassurance from her. That was 5 days ago, and since that time, the acne has gotten a lot better.
I know that I have been eating less, but I’ve been hovering in the low 140s. Today I didn’t even eat until 2:30. I had an egg, piece of toast, and an apple with some peanut butter. A fruit bar. Then around 7:30, I had some leftover turkey (no gravy) and some cauliflower. I had a piece of strawberry rhubarb pie for dessert. That’s all I had today. So we’ll see if I had a calorie deficit in the morning I suppose.
Despite the fact that it snowed today, it’s supposed to be in the 60s on Thursday. C put the stroller together for me, so I plan on walking up to my mom’s work with Kallie, weather permitting. Hopefully I can continue doing that now that the weather is getting nicer. Maybe that will help.

It will help burn more calories. You have to be patient . Your body knows you have an infant ; it tries to hang on to the weight as long as it can . It’s a survival thing to protect the young . In prehistory Infants whose Mothers got very thin could not nurse their babies and if they died; so would their babies. We are way past that now but our bodies still follow the rules . :-)
