When I mentioned grains, I meant stuff like:
- Whole wheat bread (which I usually bake myself quite often)
- Brown rice
- Weetabix breakfast cereals (wheat-based)
- Using whole wheat flour whenever I'm cooking, and so on
I always make sure to treat myself to a little dessert, though I try to keep it on the healthier side. I log every single thing I eat in my fitness journal on MyFitnessPal, so I’m tracking absolutely everything (even vitamins and minerals).
Anyway, I'm about to head off and write a new post. I think I'll dive into metabolism and all those different ways people try to "kickstart" it, so swing by when it's up. Feel free to leave some comments 😁 so that if some mom stumbles upon this blog in the future, she can see these discussions and get different perspectives from you guys.
You really do take care of yourself.
And once the baby phase passes, you'll probably end up losing even more weight than you originally planned.🙂
