Progress in Pregnancy Weight Loss Journey

I’ve been unintentionally starving myself. It was almost 3:00pm before I realized that the only thing I had to eat today was a fruit bar. I was out of so many things and tired of eating what I had here. I didn’t even realize I had been avoiding food until I started getting lightheaded from just standing up randomly for a few days. I did go to the store this afternoon and picked up a few things, so I’ll be better about it tomorrow.

Hopefully it’ll be nice enough to go for a walk. I tried going to the gym with her the other day. I just wanted to walk on the treadmill with her in her wrap, since it has been incredibly windy the last week or so, even on days where it was in the 60s and 70s. It was too hot to have her black car seat cover over her with the sun beating down on it, but it was too windy to keep it open. The manager at the gym said I could do it that day but not moving forward, so I just canceled my membership. It was worth a try. I lost the most weight when I was doing inclines and the stair stepper at the gym. But I won’t be able to consistently leave her, so there’s no point in keeping it.

I’m down to 138 now. So 22 pounds from my delivery date. Only 20 pounds to go.

Side note: I made some lactation cookies tonight and just ate 3 of them. I got a weird scratching feeling/pins and needles on my nipples within minutes of eating them. Not like anything I’ve experienced before. I don’t know if it’s really them working that quickly or if it’s because she’s been nursing a lot longer/comfort nursing, or a combination of the both. We shall see.
