Post Pregnancy Weight Loss

Post pregnancy weight loss sucks.

There's no other way to put it.

I LOVE to work out, and I LOVE to stay in shape.

Fitness is a HUGE part of our family's life, and the only time I've ever been in a position to lose weight is after I have a baby.

I've maintained a pretty fit and healthy lifestyle for the majority of my adult life, so I've always worked out to "maintain".

I've never had to lose weight....except for after I have babies.

And it sucks.
I've been running, spinning, and Crossfitting for the last 3 weeks.
I don't eat carbs after breakfast.

I'm impatient, so when I don't see results right away, I get frustrated.

I just want my body back.

I want my stomach that's been stretched out to carry a baby for 9 months to go back to the way it was before....tight and toned.

It also drives me insane when people tell me things like, "It's only been 6 weeks."

I know it's only been 6 weeks!

Can't a girl just mope a little?

Remember how I said I never looked at the scale when I was pregnant?
Because of that, I'm not sure exactly how much weight I gained, and how much I've lost since giving birth.
Based on how my pants are fitting though, I'm guessing I have another 10 to 15 more lbs to lose.

BLAH!

On a random note...
Breastfeeding is going good...not great.
But definitely not bad to where I want to stop.
Breastfeeding is tough, but I'm enjoying it a lot more with my son than I did with my daughter.
I've also been pumping once or twice a day...

There's all 150ozs so far.
And since breastfeeding supposedly helps you burn calories, it's more of a reason for me to continue doing it.
Can I just add though that running for a breastfeeding mama kinda sucks.
I'm sure you can imagine why.

Little man had is one month well check last week.
He's 12lbs 8ozs and 22 inches long.
He's chunky.
90% for his weight!

And the "Duchess" of our home is still doing great.
She's an awesome big sister, and such an amazing help to me.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
