Today I ran 5 km in my fastest time yet 43 mins 1o secs, I beat my last time by 30 seconds.
I earnt 4 exercise points for this run, I count them, but never use them.
I am currently on 44 propoints per day, but am using 39-41 of them. This week it has been a good number for me, as im never starving, and I know my milk supply is fine.
With the breastfeeding points they start at 7 extra and work up to 14 depending on your hunger levels and how much your baby is breastfeeding, mine is not a huge feeder like my first son and I know I don't need them all. According to WW "rules" you aren't meant to lose more than 500g per week, and I think they say this as your supply can be affected by losing large numbers every week. But I say be guided by your hunger. The first week eating the full allowance was too much for me, and I gained 100g. I was forcing myself to eat which is a habit I was trying to step away from. So last week I ate 38 which was still a good amount and I lost 1.3 kg. I decided to add 2 more points per day which is something I read from information my WW leader emailed to me. My current weight meant I lost a propoint, so with 2 more from last week I am on 39. 5 out of 7 days I ate 41 though, and I think I am also going to have a good loss this week. But I am following the program correctly and if I have another good loss then so be it. I am not starving and neither is my baby. I know I won't have good losses every week, but I have also done more exercise this week than previous, so that can have an impact. One week I lost 1.9 kg and my leader told me off. It was really disheartening. I can see WW point of view though on weight loss and breastfeeding, but I know my body and my baby, and if I have larger than 5o0g losses and my leader again tells me off, I will be letting her have it and then I will be changing meetings. If she isn't going to support me properly I will find someone who will. I know I am eating enough, but I also know these larger losses won't continue forever, so I am making the most of them. On days I need to eat more I will.
