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
