Sounds like a good meal plan! :D I wouldn't worry about the scale too much. I reckon that many of us find that it goes up some for a day or so after the weekend due to the added sodium, sweets, etc. I find that if I stick with my meal plan during the week, it lowers and drops as the weekdays pass by.

Big hugs to you! You aren't alone. Many women struggle with the baby blues. I did, although I didn't realize it until after the fact. If you haven't already, I'd strongly urge you to talk with your doctor ASAP. There are resources that can help. Things will improve.
