I would count today as a huge success. As you know, I was extremely nervous to have both kids by myself since Matt went back to work today. I spent some time beforehand creating a schedule that I knew I could stick to, and could change if necessary. I did end up making some changes, but overall it worked out awesome. At the end of the day, the house was clean, Bri had eaten at least two good meals and taken a three hour nap and both kids were happy. I changed clothing three times and was still covered in baby spit up, with no sign of makeup anywhere, but Matt still looked happy to see me when he walked through the door.
Today was also my first day back on plan with Weight Watchers online. I put on a total of 47 pounds during my pregnancy and am super eager to take it off. I have 21 pounds left before reaching my pre-preg weight and an additional 28 pounds before I am at goal. It upset me a little to see that after working so hard on WW last year, I gained every pound back that I had lost. However, the silver lining is that if I lost it once before, I can do it again.. and I KNOW that Weight Watchers works! Don't worry, I won't be cluttering up this journal with my dieting and lifestyle antics.
I know some days will be harder than others with the kids, but this is the first time where I have really thought "I can do this... long term". Everything will be alright.
Lovies,
Catherine
