Losing Weight

I'm not losing weight as fast anymore. I'm blaming it though on the fact that I'm putting on muscle from running because I'm starting to fit it SOME of my pre-pregnancy clothes (though not many yet). This morning I was at 136 lbs. So that's 34 lbs lost so far with with 9 lbs more to go to get to my pre-pregnancy weight (plus about 10 more lbs to get to my ideal weight). I can't wait to fit into more of my old clothes. I'm too big for most of them but my maternity clothes look ridiculously huge on me. I don't want to buy anything that fits me too well right now because I hope to be smaller soon and don't want to waste money. So right now I wear a lot of t-shirts and sweatshirts.

I do need to start eating better. I've decided to try cooking more instead of making so many packaged and instant sort of meals and so much pasta. It's hard with Carter though because he's usually fussy in the late afternoon until he goes to bed and I can't easily put him down to cook. Yesterday I had to let him scream for a few minutes while I finished getting the meal together (I made herb-crusted salmon and deviled roasted potatoes). This morning I put stuff in the crockpot while he was still "chill". I'll just have to make the salad dressing tonight which won't take long. We're having chicken a la king with french bread and a mixed-greens salad with red wine vinaigrette. We'll see how long I can keep this up though. I'd really like to become a better cook!
