Operation Coup d'Fat

Okay, so this week was not really productive. I DID buy those low-point English muffins I ate last time. But they are already gone.

Anyway, I wanted to check in to show that I'm at least still PLANNING on making this work. I still need to go grocery shopping for more/better food, though.

I had a baby - I am also still breastfeeding (part-time), which means that I can no longer crash diet quite as extensively as I did last time. Ty is still getting SOME nutrients from me, and while I am, at times, okay with depriving myself, I am not okay with depriving my son. Sensing a pattern yet? But here are some realities rega...
