8 months postpartum this morning and I weighed in at 134. At one point in the last couple of weeks I made it down to 133, but that was short lived. I actually haven't been working out every day like I was. I've been extremely busy and just exhausted. Most of the time I fall… Continue reading 8 Months Postpartum

6 Months Postpartum Exercise Transformation
6 months postpartum as of Friday and I weighed in at 138, up a couple lbs from last week but I've been eating so many reeses cups this week and last week that I'm actually impressed that I didn't gain more than that.

23 Weeks Postpartum and Pushing Past the Plateau!
23 weeks postpartum today and I weighed in at 136lbs. Yay! But it's come at a price, a decrease in milk supply. Not a huge decrease, but enough that all the milk I pumped over that 4 day weekend is depleted, and we just started supplementing with formula yesterday. I'm pumping enough to get them… Continue reading 23 Weeks Postpartum and Pushing Past the Plateau!
22 Weeks (5 months) postpartum
22 weeks postpartum as of yesterday, which is 5 months and now 2 days, and I weighed in at 139lbs. I'm still stuck in this rut hovering around 140, with 12 lbs still to lose before I'm back to pre-pregnancy weight, so I'm not getting too excited about being in the 130s...I've been here before.… Continue reading 22 Weeks (5 months) postpartum
21 Weeks Postpartum and pumping for a weekend
21 weeks postpartum as of yesterday and I weighed in at 140. Ugh. This is really getting old. I'm not surprised because I took some time out this past weekend to travel and see my grandma, and I only kept up with the February Upper Body Light challenge. Even still, it's getting to the point… Continue reading 21 Weeks Postpartum and pumping for a weekend
