Microwave Popcorn is a Scam

Yesterday was a big day at our house! 

Weigh in day for little shmoopie.

I knew that she had gained some weight due to the scale I purchased over the weekend but I was ecstatic to find that she weighed in at 9 lbs! That was 9 oz more than last week meaning she was now gaining 1.5 oz a day. Way to go Rosie!! 

We are still going to supplement for the next week in the same way we've been doing it, but after her next weigh in we are hoping to drop the fortifying and work towards exclusive breastfeeding once again. In the meantime I'm also going to see a different lactation consultant to get a second opinion.

After our appointment Rosie and I hit the grocery store for some fruits and lunch time essentials. One of my best buys was this peanut butter which is outrageously crunchy. Like nearly impossible to spread crunchy but I'm about it. 

Then we came home and had lunch and took a nap (obviously the best part of the day) but Devin came home a little early and found us fast asleep. Totally Busted. When he catches us napping it really ruins the whole "my day was insane" story, but seriously most days are pretty tiring. 

Before dinner I went to the workout facility at our apartment building and got in sometime on the bike and the treadmill. I haven't had the easiest time losing this baby weight but I am determined to get these 15 pounds off so I'm trying to workout regularly and reinstated my weight watchers membership. I think part of the problem was that I wasn't eating enough, and with breastfeeding I hear that can be a killer to weightloss progress. So at least with weight watchers I know how much I should be eating and can keep track throughout the day. In fact when I registered I was allotted 28 points and when I changed my settings to say I was a breastfeeding mom it went up to 44 points a day. Now I'm really trying to make sure a lot of those points are healthy things like avocado, nuts, and whole grains instead of pizza and entire cans of Pringles (8 Pringles is 2 points, don't mind if I do). We'll see how it goes. If all goes according to plan the scale will keep inching up for Rosie and down for Mama. 

Also I have a bone to pick about popcorn. A serving size is 2 TBSP of kernels or 4.5 cups popped, and each bag is supposed to have 2.5 servings. That should be more than 11 cups of popcorn. And I consistently get less than 5! FOR REAL. What is going on?! There aren't a ton of kernels left unpopped and the bag is nearly filled to the brim. They are telling me 11 cups of popcorn are supposed to fit in a standard popcorn bag? Did they think I wouldn't notice?! I'm going to get to the bottom of this. Just you wait.
