So yesterday I had a dr appointment. They did the normal check your weight test. Like most women, I dread stepping foot on a scale. Even though I know I have just had a baby. Even though I haven't been able to get up and do much because of the pain from my incision. Even though eating healthy has not been on my agenda, only quick and easy and anything that my 6 year old will eat. Even though I have not been drinking my 100oz of water every day, seriously do you know how annoying it is to take off an abdominal binder each and every single time and trying to go fast and get it back on to get back to your sleeping baby? Even with all of those things, I still, like every woman, hate stepping on the scale.
I took off my boots, which was a funny sight to see because I still can't really bend to put on or take off my shoes. Then I took off my jacket, you know getting the heavy stuff off! I step on the scale and look down at the digital screen. Next thing I know, I'm looking at the nurse saying "holy s***!!!"
She looks at me then looks down at my chart and back at me. I have lost a total of 22 lbs in the past 7 days. Given most of that weight is baby weight, but the best part is I am 5lbs from my lowest weight in the past 3 years. I am beyond proud of myself for not gaining weight during this pregnancy. I am proud that I watched my portion control, for the most part, and have a very healthy baby. I can say Plexus has changed my life and given me hope that I will soon be back to 165lbs. My goal is to not be a twig, but to be fit. Skinny doesn't feel near as good as healthy does. In 5 weeks I will begin working out here in my living room. Until then, keep following me while I find my footing in life.
