Yesterday I had my 6 week post-baby check up, and had some surprising news. I am down 3 pounds from what I weighed before I got pregnant. Mostly my body has been shifting around a lot. My pants are a bit loose in some weird areas, but my shirts are almost all too snug on top and too loose around my rib cages but my tummy is a bit flabby. And my muscle is sadly lacking! 6 weeks of no weight lifting took a toll!
So here is my new goal: to maintain my weight as is, but build up my muscles. This will take a lot of eating right and exercising. I started today with a gentle arms work out (to build back up to it) and some yoga. I'm going to slowly add in some more cardio and heavier weights.
I'm hoping to report here when I can do a longer work out/lift heavier weights/see my tummy flab decreasing. Feel free to join me!
this is where the fun begins! you have your work cut out for you, carson, and i'm excited to read your updates. you've got a great goal and muscle mass can only do you good. have fun and include tommy wherever you can, he's a weighty guy and would be fun to do lunges and squats with him on your back. good luck! have fun!
