I think that's it for the day....I hope. I LOVE EATING THIS MUCH FOOD!! I worry that I will have a hard time adjusting to normal food consumption without so much exercise/breastfeeding.
(POST SCRIPT: 11:00 PM: STILL STARVING...so I ate the rest of the gnocci/chicken concoction my hubby made, a handfull of chocolate chips, and a glass of milk. I am a little bit grossed out now by how much food I ate.)
Ahh, the beauty of nursing and running! Gone are the days when I could eat like that, but when my guys were around 4 months until about 8 months, I ate everything in sight and just kept losing weight. Even training for a marathon didn't up my metabolism like nursing did. :o)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you eat pretty well to me! But cut out that Coke Zero! :)
ReplyDeleteI totally eat a bowl of cereal at night when I'm still hungry. I figure it's better than the bowl of ice cream my husband eats...
Coming from a dietitian :-)...you're doing FINE with your food consumption. For how much you're running and feeding you're little one you should continue to eat A LOT. If not, you're milk supply will decrease. Also, FYI, don't worry about your cholesterol if you had it checked while BFing...it's always really high. Hope this helps :-)
ReplyDeleteI eat a ton too, DC. The great thing about running lots and breastfeeding. Enjoy it! I sure am...
ReplyDeletesounds about like me...constant grazing! minus the 9.6 mile run AND spinning. i hope the weight loss starts soon like MCM mama said!
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing I don't do this because it would be a picture of a bottle of water and a 8 m&ms on my desk right now.
ReplyDeleteI consume massive amounts as well. I'm worried about what is going to happen when I stop breastfeeding. I spend a large part of my workday trying to determine where I can get some food from and then I spend most of the night constantly snacking. There's very little of my day that I'm not thinking about food.
ReplyDeleteI think it will be very interesting to see what my diet looks like a year from now...of course, I could still be breastfeeding. I have a friend whose daughter is nearly 2 and she is STILL breastfeeding...I think because she is afraid of gaining weight when she stops, although she will never admit it.
ReplyDeleteClare--I think MCM is right! The past month or two I seem to have dropped a little bit of weight (4ish lbs) without even trying. I have ALWAYS been a grazer. Hubby and I used to get in fights about it, but now he accepts that even after eating a full meal I'll be eating again in an hour or two.
Sara-Thanks for the dietician's approval! Sadly, my last cholesterol screening was the month b/f I got preggers and has always been high. It's hereditary.
Mama Simmons--I had quit Coke 0 when I was preggers. It was so hard and I am so mad at myself for falling into it again!
Angela--All I can say is me too!!
Hahahah- that is hilarious. I hope nursing kicks in and my body starts losing weight soon!
ReplyDeleteyou eat more sugar than I would but the quantity doesn't seem as obscene as you think it does! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm totally going to engage in blog idea theft.
