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. I don't have a lot to report this week, other than yes,… Continue reading 6 Months Postpartum Exercise Transformation

25 Weeks postpartum and What to do when the gym closes for Covid-19 and other national emergencies
It's been a crazy couple of weeks. Covid-19 is on everyone's mind and to couple that with the fact that my job lost the rebid for our contract and I've had a couple interviews and some other things, plus triple kid duty because the daycares are closed.....whew. Its been crazy. I weighed in last week… Continue reading 25 Weeks postpartum and What to do when the gym closes for Covid-19 and other national emergencies
Darebee Cardio Trim Program Review
I finished Darebee's Cardio Trim program today. Yay! This is a 30 day fitness program that has a little bit of everything--strength, cardio, some hiit, and ab work. A well rounded program. I must say though, that I haven't been so glad that something is over in quite a long time. As well rounded as… Continue reading Darebee Cardio Trim Program Review
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
20 Weeks Postpartum
20 weeks as of this morning and I weighed in at 140. Boo. I've worked out every day this week but I must admit that my diet has not been good. I've been battling some serious sugar cravings and losing. Cupcakes are my kryptonite. Fer ril. Honestly I'm surprised I only gained 1 lb instead… Continue reading 20 Weeks Postpartum
19 Weeks Postpartum and my delicious Oatmeal!
19 Weeks today and I weighed in at 139 this morning. Yay! I've broken into the 130s! And I pushed past my plateau. I cut out my protein snacks in between breakfast/lunch and lunch/dinner, and I also have not been adding protein powder to my protein milk after workouts. So I've effectively eliminated around 700/calories… Continue reading 19 Weeks Postpartum and my delicious Oatmeal!
18 Weeks Postpartum and rethinking nutrition
18 weeks postpartum today and I weighed in at 143. When I first stepped on the scale this morning it said 139 and I was so excited until I realized that a corner of the scale was sitting on a sock. So after levelling the floor, lo and behold, I'm actually 2 lbs heavier than… Continue reading 18 Weeks Postpartum and rethinking nutrition
Darebee.com Full Circuit review
January 1 I started the 30 day Full Circuit workout program created by Darebee.com. It cycles between 2 days of hiit for 21 minutes, no rest breaks, followed by two days of ab/fascia work for 9 minutes, no rest breaks. No rest days either. This workout kept me challemged everyday, but the intervals were spaced… Continue reading Darebee.com Full Circuit review
