Post Baby Weight
Being a new mommy again, for the third time around after a gap of 5 years isn't exactly easy. I sort of forgot how it was to take care of a newborn and what comes with it (pain of breastfeeding, long nights, cluster feedings, confinement, etc) but I've adapted really quick and when your mommy instincts kick in, you just switch your mode to SUPER "Supermom". Yeah, DOUBLE the supers!
So this time around, my weight gain wasn't as bad as my 2 previous pregnancies. The most I gained was when I was pregnant with my firstborn -- I gained 22kgs and he came out a whopping 3.91kgs (normal delivery). Never again! After learning my lesson THEN, with Allie, I gained 15kgs and she came out a mere 3.51kgs (Thank God). This time around though, I gained only about 9kgs.
Thanks to breastfeeding day and night like a milk machine, I have managed to lose all 9kgs already, in the span of 2 weeks. Not bad, you think?
HOWEVER, my pre-baby weight was 15kgs OVER my ideal weight. So basically, I am STILL 15kgs overweight. Pathetic! LOL!
I have my sister's wedding coming up this March and I NEED to look good. Yet, at the same time, I don't even think I have the energy to WANT to look good, you know what I mean? The moment I think of working out, I literally yawn. Seriously, I'm exhausted just thinking about it. I don't think I want it bad enough.
But I can't exercise yet even if I wanted to. Under my mom's rules, I can't do anything to exert myself within the first 45 days. Yup, that's how long my confinement is. BORE. After that, then I can worry myself silly about exercise. Until then, to get back down to my pre-firstborn baby weight, damnn... I have to watch what I eat!
