Today was a good day. I stuck to my eating plan and I feel great. I really tried to pay attention to when I was hungry and full and I realized that I don't need to eat a whole lot at meal times. If I eat every couple of hours, my meals tend to be a lot smaller than I normally would eat. Good information to be learning. I even was able to withstand the temptaion of a good bowl of ice cream tonight. Matt sat down next to me on the couch with a big bowl of mint chocolate chip ice cream, and my second thought was to at least go grab something in the kitchen that I could eat with him (my first thought of course was to forget the plan and go grab some ice cream), but I did neither. I asked myself if I was hungry, I wasn't, and so I just told myself no. Yeah!! I'm quite proud of myslef.
I started my mummy tummy exercises today too. If you've never heard of Julie Tupler's technique, and you have a protruding post pregnancy "mummy tummy," you should really look into it. So, for the next week, I am doing some contracting exercises to bring my transverse muscles back together. Then next week she has a 30 minute workout, including stretches and cool down, that I will start. She reccomends not jumping right into the 30 minute program without the contracting exercises.
***Question*** On Julie Tupler's website, there is a thing that she does where she'll travel to offsite locations (her home base is NYC) and teaches a seminar showing the benfits of these exercises and how to do them properly. She just requests that a minimum of 15 people sign up and pay (I think it was $100). Would anyone be interested in attending something like that? I know it's a lot, but it's definitely cheaper than a tummy tuck (LOL). If not, would anyone want to go to NY with me sometime to one of her seminars? I would love to have hands on help. Just throwing it out there.

You'd have to really sell me on her program, but if I was in town I would be interested. Any chance at getting my old stomach back, right?
