I've missed weight training so much! I don't miss the a-holes that thunk they own the weight room. Look. I know I'm smooshy and lifting little piddly weights but I just had two babies cut out of my guts back to back. And that's not even taking into account the pregnancies and how fun those were. So cool your biscuits and have a little etiquette in the weight room. Ugh.
Anyway!! I've had a few non scale victories since starting back up. When I first hopped on the treadmill, I struggled to run 8 minutes consecutively at a slow pace. I've worked up to 25 minutes straight at 5mph. That's still kind of a slow mile but it's getting better! I was around a 10-11 minute mile prior to pregnancy so I'd like to work my way back to that.
As far as weight lifting goes, my weights are steadily increasing. That initial soreness has faded. I still get sore obviously but there's something about that first lift back that tears you up. Lol!
And as far as the scale goes, I'm hovering between 178-180. It's slowed down for now but I'm happy with my progress since having Malcolm. I've dropped about 45 lbs since having him. I know a lot of that was water and baby, but I didn't drop that fast with Mase and I'm even lower than I was when I got pregs with Malc.
But honestly, while it's nice to see that number go down a bit, it's not really what's the most important. It's the non scale victories I care about right now. My weight will do what it's gonna do.
The eating part has been a little more difficult to juggle since I'm pumping 60 oz of milk a day. I tried eating healthier but had a hard time getting my calories in for the day and saw a drop in my supply. I'm going to try to add two protein shakes a day in with banana and blueberry yogurt and almond milk in hopes that I can eliminate the extra crap I'm eating to get those extra calories. We'll see how it goes.
That's all I got for now!
