Daiquiria's Diary- Green Days

Well i have been awol for ages, but for a good reason :) my beautiful baby boy arrived by emcs on 8th dec at 37 weeks weighing 8lb 6oz. My other 2 boys are over the moon esp ds1 who just dotes on him! I am now completely outnumbered! :D

Busy times and lo was on hospital all over christmas with bronchiolitis but doing well now.

So i still have just over a stone to lose. I am bf and so hungry all the time! Sleep deprivation and running about after the boys is also making it tough and i often grab what ever is at hand. Usually something bad! On my 2nd lot of antibiotics for infection as well so exercise is at a minimum at the mo.

Planning on starting back proper in feb. My bro is going to class too so might join his group, not sure whether to stick to home weigh ins.

So i'm basically just lurking when i get a sec and getting my head back into it. Aiming to have a couple of good days a week between now and then and see how we go! Will have to work out some strategies as i normally enjoy the cooking from scratch but not much time at the minute for that!

Hope everyone had a nice christmas and happy new year x

Hurrah!! Congratulations, that's fab news! Enjoy your family and whatever down time you can get with the wee one... If all you've got is a stone to lose, that should melt of while you're breastfeeding! x
 
Thank you! Hope you and the kids are doing well. Will stop by diary and catch up when i can.

I find that i can put more weight on after having a baby bf or not! With ds1 2 weeks after he was born i was half a stone under my pre-preg weight. 7 months later i was prob at my heaviest ever which led to me joining slimming world! I think it is being at home all the time and sitting feeding for hours on end... plus the bf makes me so hungry and my body just holds onto the fat lol.

Enjoying snuggles with my wee man now before i have to wake a grumpy ds1 for school. Ds2 is curled up in the middle of my bed and i'm jealous!

Aww, that all sounds so nice and snuggly!
I know what you mean about post-pregnancy weight gain. With both of mine, I weighed less after having the baby than I did before I got pregnant... it was the sitting and feeding (always with a cup of tea and LOADS of biscuits) that ended up packing the weight on. At least this time round you know to watch out for it ahead of time! :)
 
Finding too many excuses not to get back to it at the minute. I said i would go back proper in Feb but was hoping to stick to it a few days a week now. I just cant seem to manage a day at 100% and thats even with the hex for bf! Ah well i will keep plodding along and see how i go. Will pop my food on when i get a chance and see if there is an improvement come Feb.

Wee man is 2 months today which means my hex allowance (ebf) is 8 now! Not sure how you can lose weight with all that but i will give it a go :p it is handy in the evening when i get peckish.

What does that mean? I waited until I was finished Bfeeding before joining SW, so unsure... do you get extra Healthy Extras? Bonus!

Your food looks great! And can I just say, I have no idea how you are managing to BF baby, and look after other boys and yourself and hubby at the mo, AND post on here, but you're doing it, well done! You're officially a SuperMum!

Seriously, you've totally got it together! Your post made me miss the days when me and my little babydude spent ages on the couch, napping and breastfeeding and snuggling, awwwww!
 
Haha but it also means up and posting at 4am in the morning lol! Enjoying snuggles with the wee man and hoping he will settle again!

Yeah you get more healthy extras when your bfing. As i do green it works out at an extra 4 at the minute, i assume to allow for extra calcium but i tend to use heb more to help fill me up.

We are muddling through ok at the minute, going to 3 wasnt as hard as i thought but i think im alot easier on myself this time round and going with the flow!

Day 6 Tues 10th Feb

Well yesterday was a bit of a write off diet wise! Didnt eat as much as the other days but it was all the wrong things. I reckon calorie wise it would come in around the same. We were out and about at appointments for the wee man and we treated ourselves to coffee and cake...

2 slices wm bread, dairylea light.

Kitkat and coffee.

Slice of coffee cake and coffee prob 30 syns :eek:....but worth every one :p yum!

Gnocchi and sun dried tomato sauce ??? Syns. Dh made it bless him as i was knackered. I actually had leftover meatballs from the night before but wasn't about to knock him back as he's being so good to me at the minute! He didn't use any oil though, he was pleased to tell me. So could have been worse!


Any way last night i prepped lots of veg sticks and fruit for today. Im determined not to let one bad day trip me up as it will happen sometimes, just hopefully not all the time. And i enjoyed my treat!

Wow just watching a re-run of the horizon show about what diet is right for you. Someone held up a visual of a pound of fat and honestly it looks so much. If you are 'only' losing that a week trust me you are doing good. It is revolting!

Def worth keeping in mind.

I seem to have missed that you're back but wow, congratulations on the birth of your baby:)
How's life with 3?
I'm very impressed you're back on the diet wagon:) I didn't even begin to attempt it whilst feeding.
Xx
 
Haha i am back as i was going a bit out of control lol. Need to nip it in the bud. Finding it tough as i am always so hungry and when you are sitting feeding it is very tempting to reach for the biscuits!

Life with 3.... isn't as hard as i thought it would be lol. The wee man has slotted in and the boys love him. When they are all up a bit i think i will have trouble on my hands though, i am seriously outnumbered :eek: hardest part ia finding the time for all of them esp ds2 who is home with me as well. It can be hard when i seem to be feeding all the time but we are getting there.

How are things with you and the girls?
