This week I lost 1.3 lbs
Not to shabby for not truly starting any sort of real work outs and not really starting any diet. I did however decide against starting weight watchers while I'm breastfeeding since it is going so well I really don't want to do anything to mess up my supply. I think just watching what I eat and drink will really help. I might loosely adopt the idea of writing down what I eat. Maybe not so much counting up my "points" at the end of the day, but I do go through phases during the day where I am hungrier and I'm not sure if its cause I'm bored, or actually hungry.
I have my 6 week post partum check up on wednesday. I am very happy to report that even though I had some major baby blues the first 5 days. I have not developed any signs of my post partum anxiety returning or depression. Its a great feeling to realize "Yes I'm tired, but I am still able to get out of bed and do what I need to do today" when I was in the darkness after Carson, we would just stay in bed all day. I was tired but it was emotional exhaustion. Now I'm just physically tired from taking care of the boys. I am not sure what triggered my PPA/PPD with Carson, I can tell you my traumatic birth experience, his inability to gain weight at first and my insecurities as a first time mom did not help.
I do need to keep perspective on my mom-body, I've been down a bit because I feel flabby I haven't toned back up yet but I still look a million times better than I did after having Carson. I've decided to give up the notion that I won't buy myself any clothes until I reach my goal. My wardrobe is a sad shell of an adorable maternity wardrobe.
I'm thinking about starting another weekly post, Outfit Of The Week? I'm thinking of picking my favorite outfit that week and writing a post about where I got the clothes, how I felt and where I wore them too. I will also include adorable Carson and Oliver OOTW pictures as well!
