Breastfeeding and Weight Loss

I am nursing my 8 month old.  I have always had a tentative milk supply so doing this excercise program makes me nervous that it will effect that supply.  A nursing mom needs 300-500 more calories a day than a non-nursing mom.  And though I'm not calorie counting I am constantly monitering whether or not I am getting enough calories to sustain a good supply as well as making that extra snack be as nutritious as possible.  Lots of water too!  So far so good.  Nursing is always a challenge in making sure that baby has enough to eat at all times.  Nursing on demand, extra water, and herb teas for milk seem to keep us going strong.  She has started solids which adds a whole new dimension to the 'enough' equation.  But she does seem happy. 

I am seeing some results.  I can do 10 sit ups without shaking, yippee:) 

So tired today after a long day walking around D.C. yesterday.  We did 4 hours at the zoo and then went to the FDR memorial.  Today Shannon greeted me with a new leg work out that really did kick my butt.  Ouch.  I decided to keep going and walk/jog to the library.  A very smart friend suggested listening to books on CD while excercing.  I think it might work out nicely.
