Postpartum Physique Update

I’ve been posting weekly updates on instagram of my physique changes since having my son and figured I should probably post it here too because it seems relevant. Monday was my one month postpartum mark. Before I got pregnant with my son I was 120lbs (5’3 tall) and too skinny; I never worked out, I didn’t eat right, I was all in all unhealthy. I left the hospital at 152lbs and Monday I weighed in at 134lbs, which is what I’ve weighed for the last two weeks now. The goal for me isn’t weight loss; it’s eating right, it’s losing fat, it’s gaining muscle, and just being an all around healthier person. I’m proud of the progress I’ve made, I’m happy with how I look, I’m happy with how exercising daily and eating right make me look and feel. I’ve made great strides in loving myself and my body. Take care of your body and it’ll take care of you 💕

    You look fantastic! And being healthier is a much better goal than losing weight, IMHO. Way to go 😊

  3. I’m normally 120, 5’9” but now I’m almost 140 and I’m 50 years old. I’ve decided I don’t care about the number anymore either and more about the look. I just put on this weight since last August. I went from 123 to 135 in that timeframe. I’m back at the gym now trying to workout daily, taking classes and cardio. It’s the eating tho that I’m struggling with. I crave taffy type candy. It like a magnet. I can’t even gas without buying some. So much now that I’m afraid to go get gas. You’re look great momma! My oldest is 33 and my baby is 26. I can’t blame it on them.

        But you’re also pretty which helps. And I’m not saying that you’re calling yourself that. But for those of us who hate mirrors…we love your confidence lol we’ll never have it. But it’s good on you.

        Lol confidence can be contagious and that’s what I’m going for, to put myself out there with such enthusiasm others feel the need to follow suit!
