Slow and steady?

Since the end of July, I've been stuck at the same weight... 1X5.5. Totally and completely STUCK. Seriously. The scale has barely fluctuated...

It's been a little depressing, but I'm mostly not thinking about it. (My best mental health tip for happiness is to be too busy to think about things!) I KNOW that my body won't lose all the weight until I stop breastfeeding... Perhaps I could starve myself and lose some weight, but that just doesn't seem healthy to me.

I think K (32 months) is weaning so I think the demands on my body (in terms of milk production) are lessening. I think I am finally losing a bit of weight. Tonight, at the gym, my weight was 1X4. That's 1.5 pounds lighter!

We'll see if it stays there. If it does stay there, then I'm about 6 pounds away from the weight I was before kids. I am making progress because one year ago, I was about 12 pounds away from my pre-kids weight. (Yea, that's only a loss of one-half pound a month, but that's SIGNIFICANTLY better than gaining weight!)

I don't like to diet. I'm thrilled that I am eating normally (with treats) and losing weight. I do like to work out and I am very active. If I could find time to sneak in another work out a week, I'd probably be able to lose weight a little faster, but given my work insanity and this class that I'm now teaching, I don't think it's possible. Maybe I should try to get to campus about 10 or 15 minutes earlier and walk around outside for that time. It wouldn't be a "work out" but it would be a nice walk... (hmmmmm....)
