Diary - Part 2

Your doing well starting for the first time after 3 kids,
3 I can imagine is hard, its hard with just one lol and soon 2
Breast feeding does help with weight loss but I only managed about 6 days with with Lucien as it was too painful.
Eating healthy with kids can be difficult as it is hard finding time to cook (me also hating cooking)

My plan is to make salads a lot because this way I can add more carbs with pasta or potatoes for hubby than what I need, its something we can all eat but adjust to our eating goals as well. Plus they are quick and easy. As long as I mix it up and don't make the same salad every day lol

Hi Angel, Just thought I would wish you an early Happy Birthday! I had a look at the forum calendar & noticed it's your birthday tomorrow! You are doing very well fitting in exercise & eating healthily with young children. Well done! You will be a great example to them. Happy Birthday for Monday! Cheers, Cate
 
Nostalgic- i find it very difficult to keep a balance between losing weight and not letting my milk supply drop. Slowly getting the hang of it. :)

Cate- thank you. 26 tomorrow. Can't believe it. Last i was here was trying to get to my goal for my 21st. 6 years later here again. Time flies.
I do find exercise is my 'me time'. I love it and feel a bit robbed on my rest days.
 
It is now officially your birthday, so I will wish you
:party:Happy Birthday:party:​
one more time! I don't think that it's possible to be wished too many happy birthday's! It's your special day. Only 4.5lb to go to your GW. Wow! By exercising regularly you shouldn't have any trouble maintaining, especially while breast-feeding. Cheers, Cate
 
My husband works early in the morning, so I can't do it then. Unless I want to get up at 4:30! The baby wakes anytime between 5-5:30 and I have to put her back to sleep. But sometimes she wakes earlier, sometimes later... it's hard to say because she wakes throughout the night and every night is different. Somestimes she wakes only 2-3 times, sometimes she wakes every 1-2 hours. So for me the only time that I know that is guaranteed is after they are both asleep. Lately that's been by 9:30, but randomly my 2.5 year old fights bedtime really badly and it's not until 10... but that's not usual. But still, 9:30... man, last thing I want to do then is workout... I want to park my butt on the couch and relax!!!
 
4.5 lbs to go that's 2 kg YAY!
Chocolate and ice cream and still getting your calories right on target.... I love it!
 
Thank you all for the birthday wishes. My mini GW is 161. 11and half stones. Don't know what my actual gw is. I'm going to keep adjusting my gw until i'm happy. Last time i was happy at 140 but don't know what my body will be like at 140 this time :)

Risty i completely understand. Fortunately my youngest only wakes once in the night. I cannot imagine exercising after waking several times in the night. Especially at 9:30!! That is my time to relax with hubby after a busy day.
 
Today is a rest day forced upon me by my husband. It has been a week since i started the 30ds. I did 5 days with 2 rest days.

Todays measurements after week 1

Weight = 165.25 (-3lbs)
Chest = 101cm/ 39.8inch (same)
Waist = 81cm/31.9inch (-4cm/-1.6inch)
Hips = 105cm/41.3inch (-3cm/1.2inch)
 
5 days with 2 rest days is great. Starting this DVD and doing it every day would be a mission and difficult until your body adjusts.
3 lbs gone and cm of your waist and hips.... I think your doing great.
 
Don't get me started lol
I'm 38 weeks today and am ready for the end. While I love the end result the pregnancy part is hard for me.
Heartburn, felt like I've been kicked in the pelvis daily by a professional kick boxer, waking up with enormous pain in the sides of my butt, peeing every 10 minutes, the hot weather......
Hubby is dealing with all this really well but wants the end also.
He knows when to say nice things and knows when to ignore me if I'm ranting with hormones.
I force myself out for a walk in the mornings when its cooler to try and keep my moods up,
I'm hoping I give birth this week, my first was born at 38 weeks and 4 days.

I'm more anxious about the birth also as I know what's coming this time.

like with my first though, I know I will forget all this once the baby arrives.
 
Aww bless you. The last month is the worst. Sounds like your hubby is a good support. Not long to go at all but must be feeling like forever for you. I wish you all the best. :)
 
Thanks,
He has been great, I am a very lucky woman to have him.
Forever yes, I'm so hoping the end is close.
