Tip time Monday!
Well, I have been slacking!
No longer can I afford the luxury of the "woo hoo I am breastfeeding and losing weight like a shrinking woman" syndrome!
So, I thought I would post a tip. Something that has worked for me in the past and because I am re-dedicated, *should* work for me again!
Here we go-
Tip #1
When starting a diet(I am still doing points) try to schedule a daily routine.
So for example-
Breakfast
steel cut oats(7 points)
Coffee(1 point)
Lunch
Lean Cuisine Meal(between 4 and 7 points)
Piece of fruit(between 1 and 2 points depending on the size)
Dinner
Huemungo Salad(between 8 and 10 point)
I will then follow the same schedule for about a week. This trains my brain and stomache to begin to realize that feedings are not a free for all!
When this is working I will switch things in and out. Like 1 point yogurt, small ice cream cups, fiber one cereal etc.
Oh and I only drink coffee, water, and tea during this "phase".
I am not sure if this helps but it has certainly helped me in the past!

Great tips!
Love the word Huemungo.
I would get too bored eating the same thing for a week, unlike Rick who could eat chicken, rice & beans for the rest of his life. I, more or less, like to divvy up the points the same way everyday, instead. I always eat 4 pts or less for breakfast, 6 pts for lunch and 10 for dinner with a few pts for snacks. I nearly almost always divvy 'em up like that. Don't know why, but it works for me.
