I’m about to post more information than
\n any sane woman would in a public place, but I’m excited, so
\n here goes…<\/p>\n

I’m so happy with Weight
\n Watchers. They are supportive, smart (no funky, quirky,
\n skeptical “diet” miracles) and I’ve lost 22 lbs!!! I have
\n plenty more to go unfortunately, but that’s a huge start!! Eve
\n weighs 23lbs!<\/p>\n

I won’t say the whole
\n thing has been easy, but it hasn’t really been that hard
\n either. I’m rarely hungry and can eat almost anything, in
\n moderation, of course. I was doing really well on the Core plan
\n for the first 9 weeks, then hit a plateau. I really missed
\n bread (yummy carbs!), which you can have on the Core plan, but
\n in very limited quantities. I also was having technical issues
\n and was unable to use their nifty e-tracking tools for
\n monitoring what I was eating. And we had company and blah,
\n blah, blah. After three weeks of little to no change, the WW
\n lady suggested I try the Flex plan. I was a bit intimidated at
\n having to write down everything I eat (who has time for
\n that?!?!) but I gave it a shot and lost 5lbs in the past two
\n weeks!!! They say when you plateau the best thing to try is
\n switching plans. The Flex plan is very easy and allows me to
\n eat more things (bread!) and tracking isn’t hard. I can even
\n have bad days (or entire weekends!) and still do ok overall. I
\n think I’ll be sticking with this plan until I plateau again,
\n then back to Core. Go me!<\/p>\n

I only have
\n 9lbs left until I’m back to my pre-pregnancy weight (3.5 years
\n later), which was my original goal when joining. Then, we’ll
\n see ;)<\/p>\n

Thanks for reading :) I’m happy
\n today. We spent an hour and a half at the playground today. I
\n was hoping to wear the kids out before the WW meeting. I think
\n they were plenty wore out, but that didn’t do much towards
\n keeping them quiet. That’s not true actually, Lex did great at
\n the meeting, just Eve was a wild monkey. She’s quite a card
\n these days.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I had a brief moment of maternal guilt today
\n (see, all about me!). We were having fun at the playground, Lex
\n was chatting it up with the few kids there, then a crew of
\n preschoolers came to play. Lex was thrilled! He ran around with
\n them, talking to everyone. I’ve been very confident in our
\n decision not to put him in preschool, even though all of the
\n 3yr olds we know are starting school this week, but seeing him
\n play with all the kids made me start doubting myself. Briefly.
\n I know we made the right decision, but I think he would love
\n preschool too. Next year! (In the picture he’s playing
\n hide-and-seek with this little girl who is very confused as to
\n why he’s counting at the same time she is. Some day he might
\n actuallly figure out the right way to play hide-and-seek :)
