After four weeks of following the Weight Watchers program for nursing moms, I haven’t made much progress. I’m wondering if it has something to do with my frequent consumption of Grandma Betty’s yummy blueberry coffee cake. <\/p>\n
Seriously though, the blueberry coffee cake shouldn’t matter, if I’m calculating it correctly (which could be the problem). The terrific thing about Weight Watchers is that you can eat whatever you want, it just has to fit into the calorie budget.<\/p>\n
The first week I was on the program, I lost five pounds. Whoopee! This is a pretty typical loss for starting Weight Watchers — it is really just water weight, but it feels good to lose it. Since then, I’ve totally plateaued, and I’m frustrated. I thought that nursing would make the pounds “melt away,” but I really do not feel like I’m melting. Especially since I just purchased two pairs of capri pants that are fully three sizes bigger than my pre-pregnancy clothes, and one size bigger than my fat pants.<\/p>\n
So, I’m feeling a bit discouraged, but I’m going to give it another month. In addition to counting points, I plan to get disciplined about having some kind of exercise every day in an attempt to boost my metabolism a bit more. I’m especially hopeful about taking walks with Lucy, as she seems to be enjoying them more than before (i.e. not hollering). If I’m still at the same weight at the end of a month, then I’m calling it quits — at least until I’m not the sole source of nutrition for Lucy anymore, at which point I can follow the non-nursing Weight Watchers program. I feel pretty confident that these pounds will fall off eventually, but I’d like to encourage the process if I can!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
