Diet and Exercise

Diet and Exercise December 10, 2008

Since I’ve already shared my rigorous exercise routine with you all, I thought I’d give you the complete picture. Doctors always advise the twofold strategy of diet and exercise. I’ve got both of them covered.*

My portion control strategy, especially during the holiday season: Jack-Jack, our resident gourmand (almost) two year old. He is constantly taking food off of my plate and anyone else’s that is within reach for that matter.

Here he is waiting for crumbs by the dishwasher after Thanksgiving:

Here he is with two forks in his mouth, one of them Mommy’s, of course:

And while everyone was distracted by the camera during Thanksgiving dinner, Jack-Jack (in the Princeton sweatshirt) leans over to take some food off of Mr. Incredible’s plate.

In all honestly, I have trouble keeping weight on while lactating, and Red advised me to try paying attention to what I eat for a few days since I’m usually distracted by feeding toddlers. It is way less than I think, because I usually have a good deal of help with my meal.

You might not have a 2 year old human vacuum cleaner to help you with this diet. No problem…you can borrow mine. And then I’ll go get something to eat. I’m hungry.

*It is not recommended that a nursing mother try to diet!
