Postpartum Diet and Exercise Plan…We buried my grandfather yesterday. My grandmother died in April, Baby C was born in July, and now Grandpa died this September. I was very close with both of them. So, there have been a lot of strong emotions these last 5 months. What does this have to do with Month 3 of the postpartum diet? Quite a lot, actually…
Gold, Turquoise and Pink Little Girl Room…Baby J is officially in her big girl room and out of the nursery. And it’s a beautiful room if I do say so myself, decorated with gold, turquoise and pink in every corner! We slowly transitioned her out of the nursery for a few months, and aside from using the diaper change table she is now completely out. She no longer has even a single tiny sock in the nursery, which has been turned into a Batman/Gotham City/New York themed nursery for her new baby brother! My sweet little girl is growing up (tear!)…

Even the most strict and dedicated person sticking to the plan perfectly isn’t going to lose weight every single week. Sometimes you’re up, hopefully more times you’re down, and quite often you’re exactly the same on the scale. We all know that our weight is a really poor indicator of how well we are truly doing, but it’s what we use nevertheless…
Postpartum Weight Loss Workouts Week 2…We are starting week two of the postpartum diet and exercise routine, are you sick of the food yet?! I certainly am even though it’s all good healthy food. But nobody said it’d be easy, right? I’ve always liked the expression, “eat how you’ve always eaten and you’ll look how you’ve always looked.” I ate moderately during the pregnancy but I definitely did not say no to anything, so this restriction takes some adjustment for me, too…
Postpartum Weight Loss Workouts: Week 1…It’s time to lose the baby weight! Or maybe your babies aren’t babies anymore but you still have some pounds to shed. Either way, there’s no time like right now to get in shape and get back into your pre-pregnancy clothes…
