Back again

6 weeks postpartum and I am feeling more like my normal self.  A little more tired than usual, but that is Erik's decision, not mine.  So on the road to pregnancy recovery, I went back to Weight Watchers on Monday.  I'm a lifetime member, which means that I have used Weight Watchers once before, met my goal weight and maintained it (within 2 pounds) for 6 weeks after. I actually maintained my goal weight until I became pregnant with Erik, so that's really a testimony to the amazingness of Weight Watchers.  I didn't even have to track or think about everything I ate, my habits had changed and the weight just stayed off.  What more can I ask for?

The Weight Watchers near me has a Mom, Dad and me meeting on Monday which allows small children so I had no problem bringing Erik.  I loaded him up in the stroller since the baby bjorn would effect my weigh-in.  I could do weight watchers online, but I really need that extra accountability of having someone else see what I weigh.  I'm always neevous going someplace new with Erik because babies are so unpredictable.  What if he starts crying in a horrible rage and won't stop? 

He didn't cry.  But I made a spectacle of myself by crashing his stroller into a wall.   The crash was followed by my loud "oof" as the handlebars rammed into my stomach.  Other than that, no other drama.

I weighed in at 168.0 pounds.  Not too bad post baby. I am actually the same weight I was when I joined Weight Watchers last time.  I have about 23 pounds to lose.  As a nursing mom, I get a ridiculous number of points.  My base is 28 and for exclusive breastfeeding I get 14 more points!  I'm looking for things to eat at the end of the day.  It's fantastic!  Actually, the extra points are providing extra motivation to continue with breastfeeding.
