Hi Mandy Lee!
Thanks for the compliments. No, I am no longer breast feeding Eric. I had to put him on formula while I was medicated for some tooth surgery. After that, I didn't go back to it since he seemed to do very well with Enfamil.
Surprisingly, I lost 5 pounds within days of no longer breast feeding. I always heard that breast feeding made many women return back to normal weight faster. In any case, weight loss was unimportant to me since Eric and his health was my top priority.
As far as my workout schedule, after 7 weeks of delivering, I went back to teaching my classes (I dropped from teaching 6 per week to four per week due to time constraints with little Eric). I also came back at half the intensity for about 4 weeks. Little by little I increased my intensity and added more weight training. At the three month mark I was training one body part per day at moderate to heavy weight for about 20 to 25 minutes and doing my four classes per week. Then I got very involved with the videos and had less time. I cut my weight training back to pretty much what you will see on the 6 pack videos(give or take doing pull ups and adding in some weight machines). My cardio remained my four classes up until rehearsals which obviously increased it to about six days a week(for a three week period). Now I am back to my four classes and training one body part per day again. Hope this helps. I'm wishing you the best Mandy Lee!
