Now that Parker is 9 weeks old and the weather has been so nice here in Michigan, I decided it was time to make an effort to fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes.
After having Parker, I lost 13 pounds after gaining 30 pounds. At my six week check up I was down 13 pounds. So no weight loss in that time and I am lucky no weight gain since I keep eating like I was pregnant and I am not nursing so I do not need the extra calories.
So I started an easy walking workout On Demand. It was about 15 minutes and equaled a one mile walk. It was perfect since I had been on bed rest for several weeks in my pregnancy and needed to build my strength back up. I did this a few times a week.
Then the weather was beautiful one morning and I had finished feeding Parker at 6:40 am and decided I was ready for an outdoor walk. I then decided to change some of my eating habits and make better snack choices.
This is what my walking schedule has looked like:
I reached my first milestone. I could zip and button some of my shorts from last summer as of Wednesday morning. I text my sister and two friends I was so excited. I told my sister I guess it pays off to eat more fruit and veggies and walk than sit on my butt and eat candy. Sad but true.
Great job girlfriend!!! Isn't it so wonderful when you start to notice progress. Buttoning tight pants or fitting into skinny jeans is so huge!!! So happy to have you on our link-up!! Keep up the great work!
