I have been released to start exercising so between feedings, running a household, running to activities (my teen Children's), running a business and on sleep deprivation, hopefully I'll inspire some new Mommies with a real life, achievable postpartum journal and not some fantasy plan someone wrote on how to get your body back (do these people have Nannies & chefs on hand .... come on!) and keep a good training log for my own reference.
The plan (and we all know what they say about best laid plans):
Slow and steady: I didn't get to this weight in a day and don't plan to lose it in a day either.
Listen to my body: not resting especially with little sleep or pushing too hard will sabotage my efforts
Goals:
Weight loss: Back to weight by July-August
Comps: Back on the competition stage by March of 2011 (one year from birth of my daughter).
Post Pregnancy Stats:
Height: 5’6” –(yeah I gained an inch confirmed by 3 doctors, and two hospitals after they did that work on my spin over a year ago … go figure!)
Weight: 159.5 lbs - yeah for bed rest? ugh!
Waist: 39.5” (Doc did say uterus is still shrinking … so this will go down fairly quickly, but 6 babies later is taking longer than previous)
Chest: 38
Hips: 41
Thigh: 24.5
Ready … set … go!
