Weight loss win (DS #1 mentioned). Not TTC related in any way.

in TTC after 35
DS#1 turned 1 a week ago. I've been struggling to lose the baby weight. I've been working with a personal trainer and following a breast-feeding approved version of a paleo diet. And slowly, very slowly, the weight came off over the last 6 months. I'm back to my pre-baby weight, but my clothes still don't fit right. My training is now online. The trainer emails me workouts every week and I do them whenever I can fit them into my schedule. I just switched to the online training 5 weeks ago. During the first 2 weeks, the weight kept coming off. WIN! Then I weaned the baby and gained all the weight back, PLUS a few more pounds for extra measure. Bummer.
I went in today to see the trainer for my weigh-in and was ready to apologize and say I didn't know what happened, unless it was the weaning thing. I've been working out more and eating the same way as the previous 6 months. Then he did measurements. Lo and behold, even though my weight is up, it is ALL muscle. My body fat is down 5% and lean muscle mass is up 12%. And I've lost a bunch of inches! Hooray!!
It's been a long week. I needed this win to keep me going.
