Taking a break

Not from my diet but from blogging about it everyday. I've still been doing really good on my diet although I'm realizing the pounds aren't going to just melt away like I was hoping but I'm not willing to do anything extreme right now because I'm still breast feeding and I don't want to do anything that would harm little Ian. I already feel like I should be eating more calories for him, but really I'm just cutting out the sugar and carbs which were the bulk of the calories I was eating before. Now I'm adding alot more protein and vegetables which are much more nutritious for him anyways.
That being said, I do have bookclub tonight and all bets are off.. The girls bring way too good of food, including desserts, and I'm eating it all!

Day 15, March 15th

It's my birthday. So even though I didn't completely go off the wagon I decided I wasn't going to count calories just for one day. I actually think I did pretty good except I ate half a cinnamon roll and some 'healthy' brownies.
I can't believe it's been 2 weeks. It hasn't been that hard really. Once you're fully committed you just do it and think about it too much.
For lunch today I was thinking about all the places I could go for lunch to 'treat myself' but decided to go to the cafe attached to the health food store and I'm glad I did. I had a really good chicken quesadilla. I think it's going to be my new favorite restaurant. There are so many good healthy choices I can't wait to try a few more options.

Day 14

Calories 1524 Protein 102.7 Carbs 82.4 Fats 67.2

Obviously this isn't completely accurate because there was Birthday Cake involved that I haven't accounted for. But I had a fun lunch with my girlfriends and even still I did pretty good with my diet, but I'm a sucker for cake, can't help it.

Day 13

Totals: Calories 1807 Protein 133.3 Carbs 115.6 Fat 53

Ok, I'll be honest. This may not be completely accurate. See it's my birthday weekend and my dear Kellee Kellee came to stay over and we went out to eat and I may or may not have has some chocolate mousse for dessert and then she may or may not have bought me a cupcake that I ate later that night. Although I did account for A cupcake, I'm sure the one I ate was more than 200 calories.
But Hey,
It's my Birthday! (almost)

Day 12

Totals: Calories 1705 Protein 133.2 Carbs 86 Fat 68.9

My friend Jacqui recommended I try Greek Yogurt and Honey, so instead I put a little Agave and some Vanilla in with Greek Yogurt. It's my new favorite treat. Then I saw on 5 ingredients or less, to make chicken salad with Greek Yogurt so I made that today and it worked great too. Yum.

Day 11

Totals: Calories 1858 Protein 125.4 Carbs 130.2 Fat 70.o

Why do I feel like if I get over 1700 I'm a failure. Really 1800 is pretty darn good I have to say. I'm pretty sure that if I would have tracked my calories before my diet I would have been at nearly 3-4000 a day easy.

Day 10

I was doing really good until I started chowing down on Sun Chips and Pistachios instead of carrots like I did last night.
