I just got my all-clear from my obgyn on monday to start exercising. I've started wearing my fitbit again and I'm walking after work ~4.5 miles 3x week. Planning to start doing the NROL for Abs workouts (modified to account for our half-assed home gym equipment) next week.
I was 155 pre-pregnancy. I hit 214 at my heaviest pre-birth. I'm down to 177 now. So 22 lbs to go to hit prepregnancy and then I'd like to lose another 15.
That said...I'm trying really hard not to focus on weight and instead focus on stamina and strength because I'm signed up to do this with my husband and a bunch of our friends: toughmudder.com/about/
Hey, your little cutie looks adorable! I dont know if I ever heard what you named her....or maybe I forgot?
I am on here posting for a bit while I drink my tea - I only have one daycare kiddo here so far so I am enjoying a few minutes to sit down before a busy day begins. He brought a box of donut holes from my favorite bakery. . . so thoughtful but now I will be fighting the desire to have some all day long. My goal is to not touch them, I don't need any "treats" today...but I want one so bad!

Doing ok.
I gained about 3 pounds this week, but I'm ok with that ... I know it's because I've not been meal planning well. I can do better next week.
I need to step up my training, I've got a 10k (?!?) in less than a month and I haven't really run more than a mile or two at a time since my 5k two weeks ago. Derp.
I lost 7 lbs in the 2 weeks since my gallbladder was removed. I'm sure that's just a bump from being basically sedated for w week straight, but I'll take it! Hopefully that doesn't come back. I'm a little nervous because some people say the put on weight like crazy after this surgery. Others say they lose weight, so fx in in that category! Im about 5 or 6 lbs from my target at this point.

I need to do SOMETHING because I'm off the wagon hard and I can't seem to force myself to get back on it. I think it's mostly because I'm depressed (work blows, what's new) so I can't tell myself that I will feel better about myself if I just stick with it and instead end up eating my feelings.
I did pick up orange juice today and it was a little helpful. I will try lemonade. The midwife said m/s is caused by low blood sugar, so I can see now why some people say jolly ranchers too. Lol
Oh I'm sorry you are having bad m/s. I had truly terrible epic m/s during both my pregnancies. Not much helped, but I used to carry around containers of honey nut Cheerios- super simple carb with just a little sweetness. I just used to eat those pretty steadily thriughout the day and it helped a bit. G/l!
I lived on those sour key candies when I was pregnant the first time! Anything sour seemed to be magic. Also prenatal vitamins can make you feel sick, I always took mine at night - when I took them in the morning I always threw up.
