Weighed in the same as yesterday at 146.6. Was a little disappointed but then again, still happy to see those numbers. My body fat percentage was down 1% on the scale, so that's a big deal. After all, it's not just about the weight but also body fat and inches, right?
Today was a better day as far as hunger in the afternoon.... and I made it to the gym! After my morning shake and mid morning apple snack, I knew I had to hurry up and get my workout in before I got really hungry. Hubby is in Vegas with his buddy, so the Y and their child care center was calling my name. Did legs for 20 minutes and then 30 minutes on the elliptical. I was really hungry after and had a nice, big lunch. I had more turkey and less grain than the chart suggests, but I still was around 600 cals. Loved the carrots and hummus and sirloin salad with Galeo miso sesame dressing. Ate some cherry tomatoes when I got home to keep me from bingeing since I had to make the kiddo's lunches first. That was at 1 and I wasn't even very hungry at 5 when I had my hard boiled egg snack. Had my shake at 7 and at 8:30, despite 7 hours of sleep last night (I love 8-9 hours) I just organized my second bathrooms medicine cabinet, took out the garbage and will jump on the dishes and laundry when I finish my blog. :) Go me! I haven't had this kind of energy.... ever? Not this consistently anyway.
Since I am still breastfeeding baby E, I am conscious of my milk supply. It's definitely gone down a little but she is getting plenty and doesn't seem upset at all. In fact, the past 2 nights she hasn't night nursed until the early morning hours, allowing me to get several hours in a row of sleep, which I am sure is contributing to my feelings of better restfulness. She ate a bigger dinner than usual; perhaps because she's not getting as much milk during the day. Whatever it is, I'm lovin' it and hope she keeps it up. My dream is to co sleep with my lil munchkin without the night nursing. I love cuddling with her and it is going to be over before I know it because they grow so fast.
I also took both girls to Target and Trader Joe's today. They were so good. This weekend has been amazingly easy without my sidekick here to help me out. Hope tomorrow is just as good. I think being out of the house definitely helped keep my hunger, or thoughts of food, at bay.
I'm nervous that I will wake up in the morning heavier because of the weight training. I feel like I'm on a great path regardless.

Do you need a workout buddy for the Y? I haven't been in MONTHS and starting to feel guilty about paying for it and not going.
