The evening eat-everything-in-the-refrigerator binges are definitely down, but not completely gone. Went for a walk yesterday and realized I couldn't remember the last time I had walked for that long...pathetic. With the sun finally showing up for more than 10 minutes/day I may be able to do a little more exercise...here's hoping!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15256335053622259955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1542806651392353413.post-37732234739853523712008-02-16T23:59:00.000-08:002008-02-16T23:59:00.000-08:00Well since starting with this challenge I have los...Well since starting with this challenge I have lost 8 pounds!

But I went off the pill because I suspected most of my weight gain was due to the pill. And sure enough I've lost 10 lbs. When I was on the pill I was hungry all the time! Now, not so much. Small portions are satisfying.

I got off my weight-gain-causing-galactagogues (of course, my milk has dropped a bit, but the baby is almost 1, so he can have a cup of milk a few times day) and started excersizing regularly. It's pathetic how little I'm excersizing, but getting any workout in is a feat, since the kids are feelig particularly demanding these days.
