Ok y'all! Here it is. I have kept going back and forth on whether or not to post these pics, but I think they are a great visual to show the transformation post baby. I work pretty hard to try to stay in shape, so I feel good about sharing my progress on loosing the baby weight thus far. Let me just say that I still have work to do and could clean up my diet some more but overall I try to eat pretty healthy during the week. I do love my supplements and protein too! It took me about 5 months to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I really feel working out and continuing to teach Pump while I was pregnant helped a lot post par-tum. Running after twin toddler helps too. ; ) I am feeling good and back to myself again. Yay!
My post baby regimen:
WorkoutsI honestly don't get to work out as often as I like (obviously these kiddos require a lot of me) but when I do get to the gym I make the most of it. I have really been trying to listen to my body. If I haven't slept or don't feel up to it, I don't do it. I have been teaching a lot of Pump which is pretty much all I have been doing lately. I average 2-3 pumps or weight training a week and 1-2 cardio workouts. I really want to step up the cardio but never seem to be able to make it that 5th day. I hope to add some more cardio back in soon. Right now building muscle is more important to me. Since time is so precious, I recently started doing my own cardio/weight training workouts (bascially HIIT). I try to combine both. It seems to work well and I feel like I've really utilized my time in the gym efficiently. I am still not where I want to be but considering all I have going on, I am pleased with my progress thus far. Right now it's all about staying as fit as I can so I can keep up with my kiddos and basically survive. I have to be healthy to keep up the pace I am going. The piece that's missing is more sleep (I like to sleep at least 8 hours a night) but B is doing much better about sleeping at night! Yay!
DietY'all know it's all about diet! I cannot stress enough how clean eating helps absolutely everything! On the days I cheat I feel so much more lethargic and tired than the days I eat healthy. My goal is protein at every meal, eat as many whole foods I can (limit processed as much as possible), and strive for 5-6 fruits and veggies (veggie heavy) daily. I suck down lemon water like nobody's business!
SupplementsMy supplements right now consist of a prenatal vitamin (still taking prenatal). I'm not breastfeeding anymore but I swear they help my nails and hair. I also take a probiotic, Krill Oil (I replaced my Omega 3 with this), and Advocare Catalyst (amino acids).
