What?!?

I just read something that says that, contrary to what you usually see, breastfeeding releases a hormone that causes the body to hang onto fat...!!! What?!? This is a terrifying prospect! I always heard that breastfeeding makes the weight come off faster.... what the hell man???? 

Uhhhghhh. I wish I hadn't read that. I'm already struggling with feeling like I want to stop breastfeeding ASAP because I'm tired of being so hungry all the time (more on that later) and having to eat.  I won't stop because I know the antibodies and nutrients in the milk are exactly made for Mara and it's what she needs but.... ummm.... this is sure making it harder!!! God damn! 

Unrelated news: I got a new job!!! I work now for a huge gym chain. Starting last week of February or first week of March I'll be teaching 3 Aqua aerobics classes, one strength type class and one Zumba class for this gym.  Only little hang-up is that I don't know how to teach either aqua or this form of strength classes and I have about a week or so to teach myself. Wish me luck!!! lol 

Shameless body checking on Sunday. (Love my new pants though!)

Me in my "Zumba professional" style this morning (it was like 6:30am, hence the coffee cup) before my audition :)
