diet, sun and boobs

I haven't written in my blog for ages and i did have something to write but now I have completely forgotten what it was, it has totally left my brain. So you will have to make do with boring updates on how my diet is going and our old favourite topic the shitty london summers.

Well i have been on the post baby diet for 3 weeks now and have lost 4 kilos! and then gained back 1 kilo, how the hell this happened I don't know. But then again my scales are a bit dodgy and when i read the numbers my head is quite far away form the dial and I don't wear my glasses so i might have only lost 3 kilos in the first place, who knows. My clothes feel a bit looser but I still have the back fat situation happening.

How has the weather been in london? take a guess, shit. It's always shit. But the good news is there is a heatwave coming! but in typical british style it will last for two days which is barely long enough to lie out in the sun and burn my skin before the sun buggers back off to spain.

That's what i was going to tell you, I have stopped breastfeeding. I did my last feed on Thursday, to be honest i don't think there was much milk left in there anymore. It was a long hard road to breastfeed my little monkey, but I got there in the end and i am really proud of myself that I lasted over a year.  And proud of him that he was so patient with his mother. Also a shout out to my sister , my doula Mars and Jamie who supported me in the difficult early weeks and who without I wouldn't have lasted a week let alone a year. Anyway now he is on cow's milk, which he loves. I was a bit sad to stop  because it feels like he has stopped being my baby but also excited because my doula said the fat you need for breastfeeding is stored on your lower back, that's right stopping breastfeeding may get rid of my back fat. Well i live in hope.
