Feb 26 - Mar 2 (Peter is 6 weeks old)

Monday - Went to my 6 week doctor appointment today, I didn't look at the scale but I know I didn't reach my goal weight. I knew I wasn't going to last Monday and it kinda sent me into a slump for a few days. After a good cry on Thursday and some loving support from Corey, he assured me that I will get there. I then came across a new program that I am going to try, a 12 month program. Goal is to look amazing by our anniversary next year. I'm going to get there! Yesterday we had our family anniversary special dinner. Not over the top fancy like our very first one, but good enough (I ate some vegan choc covered coconut and seeds, it was good) Today I'm back on the wagon diet wise. But I didn't exercise. But I did eat my daily dozen and learned about the new program, I'm ready to kick but. Giving myself 1 year where I won't pressure Corey to have another kid cause I have a different goal. Not that a six pack is more important than a child, but Corey's done, so we'll see, I'll give him a break for a few months.
