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!)…
… Losing weight is hard. You’re battling your body but also your mind. Progress can be so slow that giving up feels like the only reasonable thing to do. Now add in the postpartum factors–the stretched and soft belly, the sleepless nights, the anxiety and emotions, the utter exhaustion–and weight loss can really feel impossible… Continue reading Postpartum Diet and Exercise Plan to Lose the Weight Fast: Month 2
Postpartum Weight Loss Workouts: Week 4…Sticking to a diet and exercise routine is extremely difficult, especially when temptation is constant and fatigue is heavy. The diet itself is easy, you just eat particular food. The workouts are challenging but they should at least be somewhat fun, and the endorphins should make you feel good. So it’s not the dieting or the workouts that make weight loss hard. It’s doing it long enough to see results that’s the tricky part…
Postpartum Weight Loss Workouts…It’s now week 3 of our postpartum weight loss plan and I thought it was time to talk about progress, or rather lack thereof.
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…
Batman, Gotham City, New York Theme Nursery for our New Baby Boy…The baby may not be here yet (any day now, I’m 40 weeks and 2 days), but his Gotham City Batman nursery is ready and waiting! When we found out we were having a boy and were discussing how to decorate the nursery, I said I wanted a New York City theme while my husband said Batman. The compromise was easy: Gotham City…
Postpartum Weight Loss Diet and Exercise Plan to Lose the Baby Weight Fast: Month 1…Are you ready to lose the baby weight and shed those dreaded post pregnancy pounds? I certainly am, and I am still 38 weeks pregnant!!
Comic Con: Pregnant, Cosplay and Family Adventures…We recently went to Comic Con as a family and oh man was it ever fun! Carrying a 1.5 year old, being seven months pregnant, and being dressed in our Batman, Joker and Poison Ivy costumes made it extra special (and tiring), but we are already excited to go again next year with the new baby. He will be about 6 months old, so the family costume ideas are endless…
