8 Weeks Postpartum

This week I lost 1 pound! So now I have lost a total of 32 pounds! I have 8 more pounds to go to get to my pre pregnancy weight! This week I ran 2 miles 4 days this week and did my arm and ab workout as well as a leg workout on 2 of the days! I can't believe Deacon is 2 months today! He is such a great baby and sleeps through everything! 

7 Weeks Postpartum

  Down another pound! I'm slowly getting there! Some days I get frustrated just wishing I could lose the weight faster but I am happy with my one pound a week! So I have lost 31 pounds! This week I did the same routine as last week but ran a full mile without stopping! My goal this week is to do a mile and a half without stopping! Deacon is doing great! He is such and alert baby and he is wanting to roll over so bad! Dacen is really starting to take to him now and wants to hold the bottle when he sees me feeding him! It's so cute! I am still on maternity leave! I have 5 weeks left! It's going by wayyyy to fast! 

6 Weeks Postpartum

 I have now lost a total of 30 pounds! I lost one more pound this week so now I have 10 pounds to go! This week I worked out Mon, Tue, Wed, and Fri since Thur was Halloween! I ran/walked 2 miles, crunches and arms all 4 days and my leg workout 2 days. This week my goal is to run a full mile instead of stopping to walk during it! Hoping to get the last 10 pounds off by New Year's! 

5 Weeks Postpartum

     It's been 5 weeks now! This week I lost 1 pound again so now I have lost a total if 29 pounds and I have 11 more to go! This week I ran/walked 1 mile and just walked 1 mile! I did my arm workout and abs Mon-Thur and on Mon I did a leg workout! Holy smokes! I was soooo sore I could only do it on Monday after that this whole week I have been dying! But I am finally not sore so this coming week I'm going to try and do it twice! My goal is to hopefully lose atleast another pound! I think these last 11 pounds are going to take awhile! But as long as I am losing a pound a week I am happy with that! 

4 Weeks Postpartum

 I can't believe Deacom is 1 month today! I am feeling great! Unfortunately, weight loss is starting to slow down. I lost 1 pound this week. So I have lost a total of 28 pounds now! I am not really pumping much anymore but I do have Deacon breastfeed first and then I usually always have to give him formula afterwards. I will probably return my pump that I rented from the hospital this week. I have the okay to start running now so I am super excited to start back tomorrow! Hopefully, being able to exercise will help me lose the 12 pounds I need to lose to get back to my pre pregnancy weight! 

3 Weeks Postpartum

I didn't realize till just now that my 2 weeks postpartum didn't upload! It has been 3 weeks now! I'm feeling great except I think I may have a urinary tract infection! I was able to get some medicine which helped and I go to the doctor this week! As far as weightloss I lost 3 pounds this week so I have lost a total of 27 pounds! I still have 13 pounds to go! This week I walked on the treadmill 2 miles Mon-Thur and I lifted some very light weights for my arms on those days. As far as breastfeeding I am now able to pump about 2 ounces in one setting but Deacon now seems to want more than two ounces so I am still supplementing with formula! Deacon's 2 week appointment was this week and he now weighs 9.1 pounds! It hard to believe Dacen weighed more than that when he was born!

2 Weeks Postpartum

     I can't believe Deacon is already 2 weeks! Things are going great! I am feeling really good and healing great! It's been alot faster recovery with this pregnancy! As far as weightloss I lost 10 pounds this week so I have lost a total of 22 pounds since delivery. I still have 16 more pounds to lose to be at my pre-pregnancy weight. As far as breastfeeding it's going pretty good! My milk has increased from 1 ounce when I pump to 2 ounces! I bought some Fenugreek pills at GNC today to see if that will help with my milk supply. Deacon has been latching on great and the more I nurse him the more I think it helps with my milk supply. I am really surprised I am able to breastfeed with Deacon since I wasn't able to with Dacen because my milk never came in. I am however still supplementing with formula since he take about 2 1/2 to 3 ounces per feeding now!
