I gained 32 pounds throughout my pregnancy but only want to lose 27 pounds (because I am breastfeeding I need a little extra weight).
Anyways, when getting home from the hospital I stepped on the scale. Big mistake! I knew I shouldn't from experience with Lincoln, but I was just too curious.
Any guesses how much weight I lost after giving birth to at LEAST ten pounds of baby and other things?
Answer: Four pounds.
Yep four lousy pounds! Same thing happened with Lincoln. I was obviously swollen and retaining water (insert angry face).
One week went by and I was now down 14 pounds! It was coming off fast!
Two weeks went by and I was down 17 pounds and the weight loss was slowing down. My parents came and I ate like a pig!
When I stepped on the scale today, I was only down 15 pounds. I gained two pounds! Yep, I was definitely eating like a pig with the unrealistic belief that the weight would just keep coming off. I can assume all the baby and water weight has now fallen off and the remaining 12 pounds are gonna take some work.
With Lincoln I lost all of it, except five pounds, in one week. I believe I got cocky because over the next two months I GAINED ten pounds! Seriously Heather! I don't want that to happen.....again. I lost it all by five months, but it took an entire year to look the same as before. I was fortunate that my body only needed time and not work to lose the weight. I also lost an extra ten pounds! I think I looked darn good for being a mommy.
This time I want to lose it all by three months and plan on actually working towards that goal. By six months I want my body back.
Over the next three weeks I am going to focus on my diet until I can work out again. Hopefully I can lose a pound a week.
Then I am going to start working out and running. Those goals I will post later when the time comes.
I will report back here with my progress!
This is my before
My angel is totally worth the weight
