Yay! I'm so excited about this serie...Oh, Jody! Yay! I'm so excited about this series! I will admit, since I don't make much milk and nursing did not turn out to be suitable for my body, I am still eating as if I am nursing every few hours. I know it won't take long for me to start packing on the pounds. Lately my life has been much more Christ-centered. It is strange, but I feel more grounded, exceptionally more patient, and much more aware of my God and his hand in my life AFTER having had the baby. <br /><br />I am excited to Yale this journey with you. I've NEVER dieted effectively or made a real effort to become more healthy. I've always been too lazy and lacked self control and discipline. I desire good health and eating habbits now, though. I want to take care of my temple and also set a good example for my little guy as he grows. <br /><br />Any advice you have is greatly appreciated! Also, exercising together would be fun, and we'd love to have your family over for dinners!<br /><br />Love you!LaurenMalmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11746084545077718329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2920197997073016682.post-84313905034160135302012-01-26T09:37:35.806-06:002012-01-26T09:37:35.806-06:00(1) I am going to love this series. Probably espe...(1) I am going to love this series. Probably especially because it's not about numbers/weight-ins/diet plans... It is much more true to real life and the way I operate. When I've lost weight in the past (I gained 30+ pounds the year I lived abroad and my sophomore year) I lost it much the way you did--by making healthy choices, but not by "dieting". It's a much more sustainable and less crazy-inducing approach.<br /><br />(2) You are inspiring me to be a better blogger. I'm going to try and blog later today once I get back from my garden. I may even write about gaining weight in pregnancy and the mind-game that it can play on you...<br /><br />Thanks for sharing, as always!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13317534780881444652noreply@blogger.com
