Learned my lesson

Well I did Phase 1 beautifully (only had a few meals with carbs since I'm nursing exclusively) and started P2 on Monday and all was going well until yesterday. DS nursed like crazy the night before and all day yesterday so I felt hungry all day. I ate great...until about 6 pm when the munchies hit big time and I ended up eating way too many graham crackers. I didn't feel so bad about it since I know DS nursing was driving my appetite through the roof, but this morning my stomach hurt so badly. I had been feeling so great and then feeling that - ugh I learned my lesson!

Today it's back on track and I got rid of the rest of the graham crackers.

I have a question tho, can we take in too much yogurt/dairy a day? I usually eat 2 cups of yogurt (plain flavored with splenda and vanilla extract) plus a cup of skim and some string cheese - is this too much? I loooooove yogurt so I hope it's not - it really keeps the cravings for sweets at bay.

CC, I'm sorry, but you're not supposed to be on Phase 1 at all when nursing a baby.
