so i got sicker… way sicker.   i was fighting a fever that kept creeping up to over 103 (went from 101.2-103.7 in like an hour)  it was rough.  there has been a lingering chest cold that i’m coughing myself awake at night with and then if that’s not enough, family stresses that have had me crying pretty much daily through this.  doesn’t help the sinuses!!!  basically what that adds up to is that my "first week" of my plan for my sister and i has been a waste.  my workouts have been weak, my diet a wreck, and in general, i have just taken a step back.

brady has been SUPER fussy at feedings with me the last two to three weeks and i’m pretty sure it’s because i don’t have enough milk durring the day.  he’s fine at bedtime feedings and some mornings, but durring the day he is pushing away from me, scratching my nipples, squeezing them, crying and generally uninterested for more than four minutes total! he started biting right before vaca and i had said i was done if he started that, but couldn’t quit right before vaca, so i waited till we got back and he was acting better so i thought i’d stick it out.  then he started bitting AND the other crap.  he almost acts like, "yeah i’m done with this."  i hafe put a LOT of work into nursing him for the last eight months so i made the decision to go ahead and start weaning. i called the doc for help with how to ease him into formula for the three months he’ll be taking it and such and he is fine with it.  i think i’ll take the next two to four weeks to wean him and then i’m going to tak a round of hydroxycut so that i have the energy to get through my days on fewer calories until my body is adjusted to eating less again and then i can ease off of that instaed of quitting it cold turkey.

i have been able to lose weight at 2000 calories while i was nursing… does anyone out there know how much they had to cut cals when they quit nursing? my day starts at 3:30am and ends at 11pm so it’s a long day to run on too few cals.  lately i’ve been doing 2100 and am not losing but not gaining.  do i need to cut the cals further to lose as i quit nursing?

… six weeks to thanksgiving already….
