I’m back and I have a new man in my life!!

I don’t know if anyone remembers me. It has been quite a few months since I’ve been on this site, but I’m back!! Hopefully, I will be able to find some old faces on here and meet some of the new kids on the block!! Well, when I left this site last, I was pregnant and trying to control my weight gain. Ya right. So I gained 20 lbs over my pregnancy. It’s over now at least, and I’m determined to get back on track. I’ve lost my baby weight plus a couple of pounds since his birth, so watch out.. here I come!!

Some really quick personal info for those of you who are interested. I’ve joined Weight Watchers with my mom. It is a pretty neat program. I’ve lost 11 lbs in 5 weeks. I won’t complain about that. My son, Ethan, was born on May 19th. He is doing very well considering he was so early. He was 4 lbs 7 oz when he is born. He is up to about 7 lbs 12 oz now. I started back to work two days ago, and I’m bringing my son with me to my office. So far, we are managing, but it is rough because this is the busy time of the year in the agriculture business.

I found out over the holiday that fussing baby is definitely a trigger for me to eat.. and eat.. and eat. I guess it is more stressful on my nerves than I thought it was. I’m trying to deal with that now.

My personal challenge for myself this week is to eat two healthy snacks every day. I’m hoping this will help curb my desire to snack on stuff I SHOULDN’T have! My personal challenge last week was to exercise 20 min 3 days a week. I met that one and will continue it this week too. It doesn’t sound like much, but I’m out of practice on juggling a baby in my life, so I’m starting back up slowly!

I’m looking forward to catching up with everyone here and meeting the new faces that have shown up since I last logged in! Hope you are all doing well and having thinner days!!

    Congrats on the baby. He was born on my birthday. I will not forget May 19 this year as i was in labor that day too. My son Kadyn was born the 20th.
    I know what you mean about fussy baby. I have had lots of that. But he is getting into the swing of things and I am starting to get to know him more so we are adjusting.
    Great job on the weight loss. I like the weight watcher program. I hope that works really well for you.
