Since giving birth, everything went according to plan as far my weight lose. I consciously took in a specific about of calories through out my pregnancy. Before I went into labor, the day before I weighed my self at 145. After giving birth, the first month I lost a dramatic weight lose of 30 pounds. I took full advantage of breast feeding for the first two months. After, I'm sorry but I couldn't keep up with my son. loll
After all that water weight shed so quickly. I was left with a body i like to call skinny fat. I had no muscle definition but of course my internal muscles where stretched out. It literally took me months to feel right again. Though a woman may appear fine several months after giving birth. I can tell you the opposite, I still felt weak and not just muscles but just a very well conscious feeling that your insides are still positioning. Organs are still shrinking back to size. I also realized that if you don't watch your weight carefully, you can gain weight after giving birth easily because of the habit of eat a large amounts of food. And breast feeding can trick you because you get even more hungry.
Any way I watched my caloric intake and if your wondering. I ate a majority of protein to slim down. I mostly eat beef, potatoes and selected veggies..I am a very picky eater and I'm a plain Jane. So I like my food really simple. I will mention my nutrition later on blogging..
I worked on my body my practicing my yoga moves. I really don't a specific time frame or day I do this. I usually do it in a daily bases for a few seconds or maybe a hour...when ever the mood strikes me to be active. I enjoy listening to music while I exercise. I also started using a pull up bar but trust me, It took me a year to finally say i can do several reps..ha ha
Everything took patience and yet it is still a battle playing the waiting game loll :-)
