So I had this big crappy thing happen at work last week so I decided to hell with it… I’m not going in. So I had this whole week off and it was wonderful and awful all at the same time. Wonderful because I got to spend TONS of time with my baby girl, awful because now I don’t ever want to go back to work. Wonderful because I was able to wean myself back off coffee (I was getting out of control with it again), awful because I didn’t eat nearly as much as I should. Wonderful because I got to go walking in the sunshine with my little girl, awful because I didn’t eat enough food to sustain my level of activity and I’ve gained instead of lost! UGH!
The biggest thing I really learned from this week as far as my success at loosing is that I MUST eat a lot of food if I really want to lose (healthy, nutrient dense calories of course) and that eating 6 times a day even if my proportions are not perfect has me losing 3 times as much as when I eat 3 times a day. I’ve got the rest of the weekend to spend with my girl then Monday I’m back to work… back to 10 hour days 6 days a week. I love it and hate it at the same time. I love that I’ve got a good job making good money and that in this economy I’m able to work overtime every weekend. I love that my husband is able to stay home and take care of our little girl… but I wish that I could be the one to stay home with her. But no day care for this little girl and that makes my very happy!
Well, that was sorta like a big poor picked on me blog wasn’t it? Well, I guess that’s how I’m feeling today. My next blog will be a smiley happy message OK.
Later girls! Hope you are all have an awesome weekend!

As each day passes, it's getting easier and easier to eat the restricted
diet. Don't get me wrong, I am hoping and praying that phase 3 comes fast,

actually I don't think you sounded negative at all. Just the pros and cons of a working mother. Glad you had a week home. Sounds like it was as good for your daughter as it was for you! :)
Hang in there Mindy. I question why I go into work everyday and I dont' have a child yet. I know that if I didn't stress so much and could have the time to focus that I could loose the weight again. So I feel ya. But money makes the world go round and until we win the lottery we must work.
Enjoy the time with Jade and Jack...
glad u had a nice week. we all need a break from our regular week!
