Here in our Boyds’ nest, _W_ doesn’t just stand for Wednesday. It means “Weigh Day,” too. <\/p>\n

We like to use Wednesdays to start our Weight Watchers week, with a weigh-in and resetting the week’s “flexpoints.” This gives us a little buffer after the weekend, when parties and dates can be worth splurging on.<\/p>\n

I’d sort of taken a break from counting my Weight Watchers points for awhile. It seemed like the pounds were coming off anyway, as long as I ate moderately. But things have plateaued for the past few weeks, and I have newfound determination to see these last 12 pounds or so go by Christmastime. Not that I’m complaining about having lost 38 of them so far!<\/p>\n

It is so easy to slip into self-soothing eating habits. I started a habit where, after a rough night with Lucy, she and I would go for a walk to our local bakery and get a latte and a donut. I deserved a treat! But now I save the donut for Jon, because it just isn’t worth it. I know I’ll feel much better about fitting into my pre-pregnancy pants than I will from eating any donut. (Sometimes he gives me a bite anyway.)<\/p>\n

Now that we are past the crisis-new-baby-freak-out days, I’ve been noticing more than ever that I’m trying to figure out what kind of mom I am. An organic mom? A shopping mom? A talking-on-the-phone mom? But I’m pretty certain that, no matter what, I would like to be the kind of mom who is satisfied with her body shape, so I’m taking some steps to get there.<\/p>\n

Pardon me, but now I must go chop some vegetables for snacks. :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
