I really need some more Adina LJ icons

I use to be frustrated by the women in Synagogue who only seemed to talk about their children and weight loss. And now I find my thoughts are mostly on my baby and weight loss. HAHAHA On the bright side I've lost more than 10 lbs since the start of February and I'm nearly down to the weight I started my pregnancy at on March 9. Unfortunately, that weight according to the BMI index still made me quite overweight so I would ideally like to lose another 15 lbs from there. It also feels weird since I didn't feel as fat last year and now I feel huge. I think it is my boobs.

In baby news, I think we will soon have a tooth. This is both good because then hopefully we'll get napping again and less fussing (the first teeth are always the worst until molars come in) However, it also makes me fear for my nipples since nursing can hurt like hell with her just using her gums. :/





One of the few time she was enjoying tummy time


Still with gray eyes. This picture she looks so much like my grandmother. I will have to scan some pictures of her in.

Three things:

(1) UGH, BMI charts, UGH! For my height, I'd have to be no heavier than 125 lbs. to be considered a "not-overweight" weight. Um, no, ain't happening. I prefer to pay attention to how my clothes fit and work on firming up. (Muscle does create weight, gasp!)

(2) I nominate "tummy time" photo as another Adina avatar. So cute!

(3) Duran Duran! <33

Isn't she just the cutest baby ever? She just passed out on her Boppy and I don't want to bother her because she seriously needs the nap.

It's funny, since we've never met in person I always imagine you being my height. The weight I need to get down to is not so awful for me, and when I was a lot younger I was that low, so it is doable, it's just not necessarily fun. I really need to exercise more and I want to get more muscle as well. Actually, ideally I just want my breasts to be smaller, but they're extra large because I'm nursing.

Duran Duran is ♥ Though I sort of feel that way about most 80's New Wave bands XD;

Omgsh, tummy time! She's just beyond adorable, I think it every time. She's changed so much!

They change so fast. I can't believe how much bigger she is already! She's over 14lbs now which is more than double her birth weight! Sometimes she is very happy doing tummy time and other times it leads to tears. She's such a good baby though!

Congratulations on the weight loss! I hope you're able to reach the weight you want. I wouldn't go by the BMI, though. Everyone's built differently and I prefer the more personal approach - can I wear the clothes I want comfortably? If yes, good enough.

Adina has an adorable smile. :-)

I love her smile! It is so hard to get on the camera because she often stops or the camera is not fast enough lol This morning she was happily playing and flashing a big happy grin. Sadly, we are teething so the smile does not always last.

I'm not just going by BMI, but I really think at a lower weight I would fit in clothes the way I want and just overall be healthier. It is great to have lost weight, right now I'm not dieting (I can't) but I am trying to practice portion control. So I won't just say pour granola in my bowl, I'll measure out a portion of granola, and then measure out a portion of additions to it. It sounds dumb, but I think it is really good to know what is an actual portion when you eat something. I allow myself certain foods I can eat as much as I want of though like carrots. :D
