when people talk about how much weight they lost after they had their baby (i.e. 40lbs in 3 months) are they including the weight of baby and other pregnancy related stuff? because i feel like it's going to be impossible for me to lose 40 pounds in 3 months. that said, if we're counting the weight evacuated by birth then i've lost 25 pounds. if not, then i've lost zero pounds, and i'm kind of annoyed by, it since éamon and i walk almost every day. however, i do feel like my legs are more muscular than they used to be from all the walking, so maybe there's muscle mass gained. i've started measuring my waist instead. bah! it's so frustrating. anyways...

i've been feeling pretty hard on myself since i had a difficulty finding pants that fit me comfortably at value village today. since then, i've been on a roll with criticizing myself. i cooked dinner tonight (which is something i don't usually do). i made a meatloaf for the first time ever and roasted acorn squash. in spite of my enthusiastic start, i became convinced that both were going to be utter failures. surprisingly enough, both turned out well.

i'm currently on my first period since i stopped taking my placenta pills. i think my hormones are kind of out of whack. ugh. i don't like it. i look forward to this passing.

i am progressing abominably
and i do not know my own way to the sea.
