Have not blogged for a while, whats my excuse? I could say that I am just too super busy with family life to do it but that would be a lie, so I guess laziness is the reason which is also the reason my weight loss has stalled. I've decided slimming world is not the way for me as the intake of bread and bread products is very limited so I have switched to the good old fashioned way of sticking to a calorie intake of 1200 per day via My Fitness Pal (MFP). I only started this week but I would like to lose at least 3lb if poss with another mini goal of being 11st (154lb) by 25th May as this will be my first evening out with the girls since having Max. So basically I have 3 weigh-ins to lost 12lb, I think its doable but only if I stick to the diet properly, the continuation of breastfeeding should help me in my quest!
Talking of breastfeeding it is going really well. Took Max to be weighed last week and he has put on 1lb 3oz in 12 days and now weights in at a respectable 9lb 15oz so well done us. I've started expressing now too and Max took to a bottle no problem which is a bonus as that means that I can go out for a couple of hours as long as I leave a feed behind!
I think we may have finally got into a routine, its only been 2 nights so don't want to count my chickens however Max has started to cluster feed between 8 and 10pm in the evening and then sleeping until between 2 & 3am then after a feed going back down until between 5 & 6am so I am feeling much more refreshed. Hubby is being brill too and takes him downstairs for an hour between 6 & 7am before he goes to work so I get a extra hour in bed (hubby is an early riser no matter what time he goes to bed).
This week marked the start of Oliver being at home in the mornings and nursery in the afternoons. Going well so far however this is only the second day. It gets me out on a walk everyday which is a 1.7 mile round trip so this should really help aid my weight loss. Its really nice to play with him in the mornings whats not so good is I am getting very quickly bored of Mickey Mouse, Spongebob, Peppa Pig, etc...
Oliver does really love Mickey Mouse at the moment so yesterday I sent off for Oliver and Max's first passport and my passport renewal so once I've received the paperwork and got the photo's together I'll get it done as soon as I can as would love to take Oliver to Euro Disney. Knowing us we'll end up in Tenerife instead! We haven't had a Holiday (abroad that is) for 3 and a half years so it'd be nice to get away and Oliver loves kids discos so wherever we end up there has to be cheesy kids entertainment!
