Today has not been my best day. I have felt 'munchie' all day long, and I unfortunately gave in a couple times. I'm still under the 1750 calories I'm supposed to eat being a breastfeeding mother to lose 2lbs a week, but I feel bad that I ate the extra things :( Good news is that for the 4th day in a row I did my 3 mile round trip to the shopette and back, this time by myself because Chad was at work. I also plan to utilize one of the workout videos from our free section "on demand" once the kids go to sleep. Been feeling pretty discouraged today because the numbers on the scale haven't budged in 3 or 4 days. At least they haven't gone up, but I've been so good and now I've started walking (burning about 450 more calories) and it's very discouraging to know you've worked hard and you're not seeing results. I will keep on though because I'm ready to not be so chubby! I'm very thankful to have such a good group of ladies taking this journey too, they're so supportive! I love them all! That's all I have for today, gotta go try to rope in the tornado that is my toddler :)

breakfast
1.5 cups chocolate cheerios-200 calories

1/4 cup sliced avacado-58 calories
1 tbs fat free mayo-10 calories

then I was bad and when making Kye's lunch I also ate

lunch total
458 calories

dinner
chicken fried rice-about 500 calories

dessert
fiber one bar-140 calories

today's total-1550 calories

For the chicken fried rice, it's the recipe from last week, except I cut out one tablespoon of the oil and scrambled the egg with non-stick cooking spray. Then I added a ton more peas and carrots (since my son will actually eat this) and 2oz more chicken than I was supposed to use, because I already had an 8oz bag of diced cooked chicken in the freezer. So, I'm estimating that it was about 250 calories a serving and I ate 2.
