Whaddya know? More weight lost.

On November 11, I wrote about being excited over losing 60 pounds since giving birth. Bruce turns 1 in a few weeks, and the scales are down seven more pounds.

Can you believe I lost weight over the holidays? That has never happened before. I figured once Bruce started motoring around the house (i.e. getting into anything and everything!) I'd be more active, but I didn't figure on losing up to seven pounds. That's something to get excited about.

I think it might be time to go try on the old belly dancing costumes! Would love to find that they all need to be taken in. Stay tuned...

An Upside to Downsizing

Since giving birth 9 months ago I've lost 60 pounds.

Why is this remarkable? I gained 35 pounds during the pregnancy. Aside from breastfeeding, I've done nothing to lose the weight. I even eat sweets. (Yeah, I know.
I'm losing points now.) As an act of contrition, I promise to lay off the cookie dough and snack pack pudding for, say, the next three blog posts.

But seriously, breastfeeding rocks. I think everyone should do it. Even men. [Har, har, har.]

Breastfeeding, though, isn't always a walk in the park. It's hard. Those first few weeks aren't blissful, beautiful, or stress-free. But once mom and baby get in sync, the benefits far outweigh the pitfalls. And I've lost 60 pounds! That's something to get excited about.
