It’s awfully nice starting a new year without feeling like I have to drop a few pounds (or 20). I survived the holidays — and enjoyed the holidays — and only gained a pound (which, I can now say, is already gone). I’m at 126 again today and couldn’t be more pleased.
Honestly, as long as I’m below 130, I’m thrilled. So my holiday buffer has been updated to a weaning buffer. I’m trying to figure out this maintenance thing, because I really don’t want to continue losing. But I know that once I stop breastfeeding I’ll need to adjust everything yet again. It’s mind-boggling, to be sure, but I’m in a good place to deal with it without feeling all fat and out of shape.
Happy New Year, indeed.
