Wow- so somehow 6 months have passed (almost) since our little D came into the world. It's been quite a journey. I certainly don't have the time or inclination to sum up the last 6 months in this blog so I will focus on what I've always been about - "training."
1. Being fit for delivery was KEY. Declan rocked and I rebounded in no time. We even walked home from the hospital.
2. 1 week post delivery I was 6 pounds above my pre-prego weight, I thought getting back in shape would be a breeze!
3. 5 days post delivery I was walking a few miles and doing a mini dumbell circuit at home
5. 1 week post delivery I went to the Bar Method
6. 2 weeks post delivery I ran
When D was seven weeks old we moved to NYC and joined Crossfit. I kept running. At this point I felt like I was getting back in action.
Unfortunately, a hip injury followed and soon I was off the running:-( I also was not losing ANY weight. I was exclusively nursing and Declan was eating around the clock. My appetite was insane- truly a bottomless pit.
I have spent the last two months rehabbing my hip. Sam and I have started riding again and I've done quite a bit of spinning and interval work on the elliptical. Feeling okay but quite a ways from the body I am used to. The two times I've tried to eat super clean to lean out my milk supply has dropped way off. My body is clinging to fat reserves like it never has before. I am pretty sure I will be holding onto this baby weight until D is done nursing.
But, that is okay with me. Feeding him is worth it- seems a small price to pay (most of the time...) My current focus is on getting fit and eating enough to stay a bit fat - quite a unique set of circumstances:-)
So, with that I am back to logging my workouts.
