I've not been this excited about losing weight in a long time! I had my consultation with Slim4Life today about getting back on the program, and I'm feel so empowered and ready to get back on track!
I was a little nervous about how the diet would restrict what I've been doing to keep my nursing supply up, and also how it would combine with the food we receive through the generous Missouri WIC program, but Kara, as always, was so upbeat and encouraging, I feel confident that I'll be able to meet my goal by my birthday!
I'll be eating the same foods--mostly unprocessed fruits and veggies and lean proteins--but the plan I'm on is a little more lenient with the amount of servings and some of the serving sizes. I'll be skipping the first "induction" phase that is all meat and leafy greens, due to the amount of protein that gets passed through my milk and starting on my new plan this weekend. My hubby's birthday is this week and we're milking the free birthday meals at restaurants for all they're worth!
I'm so excited to kick-start this part of my journey, and to have an actual plan for losing weight. Obviously, what I've been doing thus far has been a total disaster. I'm thrilled to be getting back on the plan and having the weekly accountability and advice of the staff at S4L. I'm a little sad that when I weighed in today, I was the exact weight as the day I signed up for the program, so the 28 pounds I lost and the 4 months I spent on the program last time is almost a wash, but I would have been more miserable and weighed even more at the end of my pregnancy without that effort. I may not have even been able to get pregnant at that weight.
Suffice it to say, I am more ready than ever to lose this weight and keep it off for good, and now I have the tools and support to do it!
