Even after only two weeks, I've gotten my first WW star for losing 5 lbs. Awesome! Just a few more til 5%. There is no better motivator than seeing the weight come off. Admittedly, I get a few extra points for breastfeeding, which makes it easier to live with, but there have been several days when, even not being all that careful, I haven't eaten all my points. I haven't let myself feel hungry either. Over on RevGal Cooks, I posted a healthy, filling summer recipe that is only 3 points per generous serving!
Me, I'm a snackaholic. That's my downfall. If I can eat a lighter supper that will let me have a bigger snack around 3 or 4 pm, I'm a happy girl.

and baby makes four
Well, now that there are four of us, life is indeed more hectic than ever. I'm back to work now, since the beginning of June and having M with me is not the easiest of conditions, but I don't think I'd trade it at all. I love that she's still with me. I can still nurse her as needed and, the main reason, we aren't paying for two kids in child care. Laura will enter kindergarten in the fall. We'll save up to pay for her summer care tuition during the year.
I'm also really glad that M will be here in this church while she's in childcare. We house the 0-2 year olds (or whenever they're potty trained) for the same program that L is in. She's just a block up the road at another church.
And of course, during the hottest week we've had so far this summer, the AC in the church--actually only in my zone--is broken. Go figure. The original office was divided in half to provide office space for the childcare director, but somehow this really screwed up the AC return system and my office is warm even when the AC works, but now it's fairly close to unbearable, especially in the afternoons when the sun hits my side of the building head on.
Got a fan for now, it's keeping it livable.
