Holy crap I actually have a moment to myself..yikes.
It hasn't been the WORST day possible, but it hasn't been a peice of cake either. The baby sleeps a lot, but getting her to sleep can be tricky because she is used to motion to fall asleep by and wakes up when you put her down. Kaelyn loves the baby but is definitely freaked out by all the attention she gets, and if the baby cries, it upsets her and she cries too, multiplying the sound level and STRESS level. Kaelyn has been pretty good, but I can't do anything even if the baby is sleeping because she wants to mess with her constanstly.
Oops gotta go..to be continued..

losing 5.6 lb a week

I'm trying a new diet, along with zigzagging. Has anyone heard of the Seritonin Solution? It has several different diet plans and there's one called Stressed Mommy diet. THAT'S ME!
You have mostly carbohydrates during the day and protein at night, and it is simalar to the way I already like to eat. It is a lower fat diet because fat blocks the seritonin(happy chemicals in the brain) from being realeased. This plan is supposed to help with depression and prevent stress bingeing, and you have planned snacks. Worth a try! I need to do something. Right now I'm just hanging in the balance of regaining and losing the same 5 pounds and I am sick of losing control. My chart looks worse than it ever has before.
Peanut butter is not on the menu..darn it!
Here's the plan:
Breakfast exchanges: 1 protein(8 grams), 2 starch(30 grams) 1 fruit(15 grams) total calories approx 290
Lunch 1 protein (8 grams) 2 starch(30 grams) 1 vegetable(5 grams) total calories approx 255
Mid afternoon snack 40 grams carbohydrate, low fat foods, approx 200 calories
Mini evening meal 1 protien(8 grams) 1 starch(15 grams) 1 vegetable(5 grams) approx 175 calores
Dinner: 3 protein(24 grams) 1 starch(15 grams) 3 vegetable 15 grams) 2 fat (10 grams)
No diet is a magic bullet, I know that. But trying a new plan might be the motivation I need to focus and get back to losing some weight. I think after a few days of doing well, I will have my confidence back and stop feeling like, there's no use, I might as well give in and munch. I definitely beleivethat a diet has to work for you, and not the other way aroung. I do need some guidelines right now because I have been just eating way too much sugar(and fat) and it makes me a bit crazy. This way, I'm getting the boost I need from carbs, and eating foods I like, but st
ill following a reasonable plan. Like I said, it's worth a shot. Wish me luck. I feel lucky. :)

gaining 5.6 lb a week

What I am doing right: staying positive(sort of) in spite of constantly falling on my face. exercising even though I have a hard time getting going in the morning. Looking for ways to make it better and get back on track, but without being obsessed!
What I am doing wrong..Eating too much in one sitting, then not having enough calories for the times I need them the most. Eating unhealthy food early in the morning. Snacking every time I fix kaelyn a snack or get annoyed or stressed( which is ALL THE TIME!)
Using excuses(like my period) to eat larger portions that I don't need or have the less healthy option.
I do best when I have a definite plan. that's not to say I will always follow it to the letter, but I MUST get out of the rut I am in and stop depending on food to get me through.
i am going to go back to following the zigzag guidelines from freedieting, at least for maintanance for 120. I need to eat at planned times, and drink lots of beverages in between, or sanck on veggies if I can't make it to my next planned meal or snack. Chew on whole cloves or gum to kill cravings. Move as much as possible throughout the day. BREATHE DEEPLY when getting stressed, don't just run to the fridge! Spend time doing something fun with Kaelyn, and also try to take a break for myself. I will do this! I can't live in this half-sane state anylonger. If your sanity depends on whether there is ice cream or a jar of peanut butter in the house..that aint good.
Tommorow. Is. A. New. Better. Day. Period.
Oh, and so will the next day, and the next day and the next day!!
