5 1/2 Months Postpartum!


Weight Loss the Last Two Weeks: 2 lbs.


Current Weight: 5.5 lbs above prepreg. weight!


The last TWO weeks' exercise:


1 - 3 mile run

2 - 45 minute spin class

3 - 3 mile run

4 - weight lifting

5 - track workout

6 - 3 mile run

7 - 17 mile bike ride

8 - 3 mile run

9 - track workout (4.5 miles split up, at 8 minute pace - fast for me!!!)


Also, my diet...


I have been trying to follow the following DAILY meal plan:


4 servings Grains

6 servings Vegetables

3 servings Fruits

4 servings Lean Meats

3 servings Low-Fat Dairy

7 glasses 10 oz. Water


This helps me to make sure I eat enough vegetables and not too many carbs. I do not follow it exactly every day, but it really helps me monitor what I am eating.


ALSO, I am eliminating all sweets and sugary foods with more than 5 grams of sugar per serving for the whole month of June. So far, this has helped me drop 2 stubborn pounds this month! Hoorah! I am far ahead where I was with Caleb at this point. I am sure that has to do with not suffering from postpartum depression at the moment, and also getting adequate sleep. I am so incredibly grateful to see the scale go down. I pray all the time for help, too. It makes me so happy to feel comfortable in my body.
