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.

Thanks for sharing your eating plan with me! :)
I think I need to add prayer to my plan too!!
I've been trying to have yogurt and fruit for breakfast, and a salad at lunch. And trying to get my grains at snacks and dinner... I'm just getting going on the eating, it's always the hardest part for me.
Thanks again! You're doing great!
