Post Partum check in: Wed, Oct 26

[FiddleFit]

Wendy came up with the idea of a daily PP weight-loss check in, so I guess we might as well get started, hey? I'm not sure if we're supposed to post what we eat each day, or just whether we ate healthy or not. I started following the WW for nursing women program on Monday and am pleased to say that I've stayed within my points limit. This isn't a hard thing to do, actually, given all the extra points you get for nursing, and with my activity points added on. I'm rather skeptical that I'm going to lose weight, eating so much food, but I'll try it for a few weeks and see. Mondays are going to be my weigh-in days.

I've managed to get all my workouts in this week so far. I was interrupted by Kate a couple of times, but each time I finished the workout after nursing her. It's not an ideal way to do a workout, but at least it gets the job done (eventually). On Monday I did StepFit; Tuesday was PUB and BodyFusion step; Wednesday was Rhythmic Step.

Wendy, Dana, Emy, how are you doing? How do you want to do this daily check-in?

Hi everyone

Thanks for starting this check-in Sandra-Nice workouts.

We have been gone all day while our new furnace was being installed so I didn't get to workout. I may do an abs workout later but I highly doubt it since my workout room(next to the furnace) still has a wet floor from cleaning up the mess left by the workers.

Monday was MIC and Coremax #2. Tuesday was L&G.

As far as clean eating---NOT! In fact, I'd rather not discuss details but it was bad. x( I definitely need to try harder tomorrow. I need to stop using breastfeeding as an excuse to eat whatever I want.

Well, Brooke is beginning to get fussy. Have a great night

I've gotten 2 workouts in this week so far.

Mon- Body Max + 200 jumping jacks after cardio + 40 pushups after weights
Tue - i meant to, but the bed was calling, and baby and I took a nap instead while crazy toddler slept
Wed- Imax + 200 walking lunges

Monday was hard. I stopped 2 times to tend baby, but amazingly I got through it! Tuesday I was sore and tired. Today's workout went well. I used 2 risers with step. That was hard. I am starting to see why Cathe prefers one riser in newer workouts. It does feel more comfortable.

I can't report total clean eating. I had some salads this week, and lots of fruit, but I have been eating lots of granola (I love granola!) and that halloween candy is tempting me. There is going to be nothing left for the trick or treaters!

Like I mentioned before, kicking the workouts up a notch is my strategy for weight loss, because I am not the best at eliminating desserts from my diet. I will try to cut down though.

Good workouts so far chiquitas!

I can't believe that today is Thursday already and I have had a BAD week. I had all intentions of starting this full-force but man am I hungry all the time. I don't eat junk - just too much. I've been eating way too much peanut butter and cheese. (not together of course, I'm not pregnant anymore ).

The only workout that I got in this week was Powerhour on Monday. That was the first time that I ever did that work out and I really should not have ventured back into to exercise with that workout. I had DOMS Tues & Wed. My fault though b/c I tried to use the same weights as I did pre-preg. The only exercises that I can still go the same was lower body and back - everything else has gone to the dogs! Wonder how long it will take to build my strength back up?

I'm really, really going to try harder though.

My problem is breakfast: I had a 14 point breakfast the other day. Yikes! And all it was: 1/2 c oatmeal w/1/4 cup walnuts, 1/4 cup dried fruit, a coffee w/ff creamer and 3pcs of turkey sausage.

I hope to report on Monday that I have at least stayed the same or lost 1lb. I'll die if I gained.

Good luck to all!

I'd like to join up - to keep accountable on nutrition. I have 3 1/2 weeks till my 6wks are up, but for now I'm just trying to eat better. It's hard though with all the sugary treats people are giving us!

I'm trying to eat LOTS of veggies and fruits as my GI track is till off since the c/s. I would LOVE for this gas to go away, ah pregnancy and it's side affects!

Way to go on your workouts, I'm scared half to death to find out how out of shape I am when I start back, being on bedrest for so long. I think I'm gonna ask Cathe about how to successfully to rehab these muscles.

GOOD JOB LADIES!
