Ouch!

I'm back to pre-baby weight (72kg) minus the new pudgy belly and stretchmarks...woo hoo! I put it all down to breastfeeding which is bad because, my logic is to eat crap whilst I can because it won't last forever. I said this out loud whilst jogging around the park with Mums from my Mums Group (we do a personal training session together). Some of us are like me and have lost the weight and others aren't there yet (but are way fitter than me!).

It was potentially our last class on Monday and I was completely ready to throw in the towel. I am easily the most unfit Mum in the group which can make it embarrassing some times (eg the week before wanting to faint/throw up). But I'm sticking with it and pushing/challenging myself. I realised I always have excuses for not exercising and whilst I can't run a lot (thanks pelvic floor) I am going to get my butt into gear.


I want to be prepared for when I stop breastfeeding and start to pack on the kilos again...It's funny how things change and now my mentality is leaning towards working out and increasing my fitness level. I've also changed my mind about breastfeeding and whilst initially I was ready to quit so many times and 6 months was my end date I'm going to keep going. Logan will still be getting fed food but I think I'll try and keep breastfeeding until either he wants to stop or until just before a year. I swear I won't be one of those creepy women still feeding their 7 year old haha

  1. I always thought I'd stop at 6 mths... Them it was 8... Now it's 10 months! Not years!
    Well done on the pre baby weight! I'm under, but no where near in the same shape as I used to be.

    1. You were one of the people that really helped me through the hard times so thank you! It's nice to know you're still going as well :)

  2. I plan on feeding as long as Eve wants probably up to two years. I'm really unfit so I'm sure you're doing better than I would at the training.Logan is so cute I love the way his cheeks look in this shot.

  3. Well done for getting down to your pre-baby weight! And good on you for doing the personal training sessions! Your Mothers Grp sounds awesome.

    I don't think breastfeeding has been much help in my case as far as losing weight goes.. Im still 4kgs heavier than I want to be. But thats great it's worked for you.

    YAY for continuing breastfeeding. You and Logan will know when the time is right to stop.. but until then ENJOY

  4. That's awesome you are back to your pre-baby weight! Breastfeeding helped me too. I planned to feed Lily for at least a year but she had other plans... I guess if Logan still wants it then just keep going if it works for both of you.
