Sweating Away the Pounds
Today Tysen and I walked to get the mail. I know - this doesn't sound like much. Except that our mailbox is 3kms away - so this was a 6km walk.
When we left it was clouded over and looked like it might rain, so I wore pants and a long-sleeved shirt. By the time we got to the end of the road (1/2 km) the sun had come out and the breeze had died. I was soooo hot the entire walk - I'm sure I sweated a couple pounds away. I'm not going to check though. I've decided just to weigh myself once a week so that I don't have to worry about the swings in between.
I also did "ab pulls" while I was walking (contracting the muscles). Tysen slept the entire way.

Where did these hips come from??
So far I haven't really made any effort to lose weight. I've been eating whatever, although I do notice that I don't really have a big appetite. I'm really counting on the breastfeeding to help me out, lol. I read somewhere that your body burns 950 calories to produce 32 oz of breastmilk. So far I know that I produce about 12 oz per day (I have to guess at what Tysen eats in a sitting, but I know that when I pump I get 1-2 oz per boob). I'm going to start doing sit-ups and push-ups this week sometime. I should start today, but I'm not promising anything!
