My "duh" diet

So I had 6 pounds to go to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight and I was getting so frustrated that for like 2 months it was just stuck there! (keep in mind I was not excercising and my idea of a diet was Lean pockets for lunch). Oh! And I was also eating quiznos (1300 calories) 1+ times a week plus eating out 2 or 3 other times.

I made the difficult switch to diet soda, so far coke is the only acceptable one. So that got me down 1 more pound but then I was stuck again. I decided to switch to eating a salad with light dressing and one lean pocket instead of two lean pockets for lunch (went from about 500 calories to 400, every little bit counts right?).

Then I decided that I didn't want Aiden to grow up eating out 4 times a week, it's just not healthy. We decided to cut out fast food (especially quiznos!) and we are allowed to eat out for our date nights twice a month but that was it. We've been great about sticking to it and guess what? in a week I lost 3 pounds! We don't do any special diet for dinner, I just cook our normal absolutely delicious dinners, all this dieting really affected was lunch! Oh and I started eating breakfast.

I'm now walking 3 times a week, keeping up with the diet and as soon as I get the ok from the doctor I'm going to do some stomach workouts and I'll be myself again in no time!!

Aiden is doing fantastic, he is taking steps here and there like he's been for the past month or so but just has no interest in walking, and he hates having me help! Lol he will just do it on his own, he's so independent I'm so proud of him and how he wants to do everything on his own. He can stand though, he'll just stand FOREVER and then just slowly lower himself to the floor it's SO funny, he just doesn't want to walk. He loves any kind of noodles with sauce (mac and cheese, spaghettios, ravioli) and he loves yogurt(sugar...duh) and jelly toast, he HATES eggs, rice pudding and cottage cheese.

I know it's lame I have no pictures today but I should have been putting these updates with the pictures I was just lazy and didn't have time to sit and think. My photography business is really starting up, you saw the website I'm sure and I'll be hosting a blog giveaway soon so keep checking my photoblog for that!
