9 months of pregnancy & 9 months post partum = 18 months of crazy ups and downs… and not just with weight. Damn, time flies! I have learned so much and have loved every minute, good and bad <3 I love being his mommy. If you're a parent, you know the feeling. The feeling of true love, joy, amazement and happiness that comes from just looking and thinking about your baby. Gah, I love it. It's indescribable. I am so blessed to have such a healthy and happy babyboy!
Above is the little note I've been keeping track of on my phone. I wish I had my accurate body fat % for every month as well because that is way more important than numbers on the scale!
Well it took me 9 months to put on almost 60lbs, and it's taken me 9 months to almost lose it all. I got pregnant about 5lbs above my normal weight and I'm a couple lbs from pre-pregnancy weight, which is awesome, but my body composition is still different… As in, body fat %, hip width, etc. Some things I will never be able to change back to the way they were, and I'm ok with that.
Progress photos time!
It's nice to see Betty-Back-Fat disappear :)

The human body is amazing. It is capable of doing the unthinkable. It is stronger than you think. Your mind will give up before your body will. With the right motivation, dedication, consistency, foods, fuel and training, you can transform into anything you set your mind to. You just have to decide to do it. You have to want it enough to make it a lifestyle.
How bad do you want it?
I feel a bit more confident now. I feel less obsessed about losing the weight. I wish I didn't stress as much as I did in the begining because if you want to lose it the healthy way, it all takes time. Every body responds differently. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bitter about the women that got their sexy tummy back in a few months' time, or the women getting to step on stage so quick to compete, the women living my dreams while I've taken steps backwards with this weight gain… but then again, I know I am doing my best, giving it my all, and I'm doing it all the healthy way. My turn will come, and I'm going to chase the hell out of my dreams and reach them.
I get questions about what foods to eat, cardio, weightlifting, supplements, etc etc, and for my next blog I'd like to answer questions YOU have.
