Could I Be More Type A?

Ok so day 1 has come and gone. I will say that it was a bit of a "soft opening" because I was not able to really go grocery shopping on Sunday. However I did pretty well....I only sneaked one butterscotch chip from the cake on top of the fridge! It cracks me up how Type-A I am though. I couldn't start anything until I had read the whole book and made lists all over the house. What to eat....how much....when...even a spreadsheet to make sure I am getting everything in! It will get easier I'm sure once time goes on but I felt very calm with my little checklists! Day 1 I felt like all I did was eat all day long! It was very much like feeding Emma...every 3 hours! Just as long as I don't end up with her thighs...they are SUPER cute and squishy on her...not so much for me!

Today I am feeling much better about constantly feeding my face. I did something similar when I got married and ended up losing 20lbs! I was as small as I was during my crazy sports times! I spent the first few weeks feeling really full. Once my body got used to the food I was hungry almost on cue! So I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I have those 5 last lbs from my pregnancy that are a thorn in my side! (I have to digress and make sure it is clear that I am so thankful for my health and the many blessings the Lord has given me. These lbs won't kill me but they just annoy me!) I had lost 30lbs a week after my C-section and felt like I was on the Biggest Loser Ranch! Then over the following 6 months I lost 15lbs more. Yes do the math folks....even after spinning EVERY day for 9 months I still gained 50lbs! Oh well Emma was healthy and happy! My goal is to lose at least 10-15lbs but I will sing a glorious hallelujah after 5! Day 2 is halfway done....not giving away my starting weight but will keep you posted on the loss!
