Hello blog world!
It's been some time since I last posted. I've had some ups and downs this last month that have been frustrating and liberating all at the same time.
The Lows
As you may have heard me complain, I have had pelvic pain since I was pregnant with Jack. It went away around 6 months with him and then I was able to really up my workouts. Anyway, it's back-not as bad as before, but it's back. So, although I hit the 30 min/3 mile mark with my running, I've had to slow it down and let it heal. I also can't do walking lunges or any other kind of splitting movement because it kills. So, I'm slowing down my workouts to only working out at boot camp (which is still good, it's 5 days a week!) until it heals up. I'm adding sprints to boot camp occasionally as well.
Also, I've had milk supply issues this time, too! Last time, no issues at all. So, I am eating healthy, about 90% of the time and just eating! Not worrying about calories at all. If I worry or I calorie count, I get a bit too obsessive about it all, then my milk supply suffers. So, in order to keep the bebe well fed, I need to stay well fed!
The Highs
This month I have been able to drop another 6lbs, so I am now at 124 lbs! I havent seen that number in some time! And, as I always preach, it's not about the scale, which is true...so the true measurement lies in the measurements-I know I lost about an inch to an inch and a half off my hips (my trouble zone)! I'm now in most of my pre-preggo clothing. YAY! I took a success photo or two and updated my photos on my bloggy, if you want to see the progression!
I still have another 5lbs to my pre-preggo weight and 9 to my leanest (I gained a couple lbs those first weeks of bloat) but it's coming off much faster this time. I'd love to beat my record and get as lean as possible this time around, but we'll see. I need to meet my next set of mini-goals and then I'll reevaluate. I am trying to stay focused on them, but without sacrificing my body or Wyatt's nourishment. So, from here on out, I'm taking the slow ride, taking it easy. Working out, eating right and in a month or two, I'll get there. I mostly wanted some clothes that fit me, instead of wearing the same pair of saggy jeans, day in and out!
Today's tip: Take the stairs two at a time! I swear my butt was reshaped by taking stairs two at a time and with squats. Plus you get a little cardio burn, too!
