so far recovery has gone well. Bleeding stopped at 4 weeks and I got into my old jeans again, oh and wedding ring fits again too yay! I don't have my check up for two more weeks however.
Recent healthy choice includes substituting one meal (lunch or breakfast) with shakeology.
goal for this month is to loose 5 lbs
if I could be anywhere it would be Hawaii right now. I miss the warm weather!
Were starting the Whole30 this week! We were supposed to start today, but we still had beer in the fridge and we chose to have dinner with friends instead of grocery shop, so we're gonna start in a few days!
Short term goals: drink at least two full hydroflask bottles of water a day (shoot for 3!), go to the gym at least once, and go to bed before midnight when DH is working.
I think I'd love to repeat our family trip to Bend, OR, where it's snowy and lovely! We have gone to celebrate our daughters last two birthdays and it's quickly become a favorite tradition for us!
I just started Whole30 and want to see it through but am already encountering challenges I'm not accustomed to - baby makes cooking time impossible and I already have a sugar withdrawal headache.

For now it's just to finish a Whole30. And as long as I get the "all clear" at my 6 week PP, I want to get back in the pool.

Fiji or the like- a warm beach with white sands sounds super amazing in this freaking cold.

ive gained weight the last week or two thanks to Christmas candy. And especially because I had a lot of stress this last week that lead to some major candy binging at night
I want to start working out again but I have no idea when I'll find the time. Also would like to figure out how to fall asleep instead of laying there for 1 hour or more trying to fall asleep and then my window to sleep closes.
Healthy eating is a dream but I've never been very good at it and right now I'm so tired all the time I cant even imagine trying to cook/prep much.
I would be be on a warm beach somewhere with 24/7 child care.
How is/was your PP recovery? my stomach skin just above my incision is still numb. And sometimes is tender. Annoying. My rings are finally fitting on my finger again but I think I may still size them up slightly since they are hard to get on and off at this point. If my hands swell at all I may lose circulation.
What healthy choices are you making this week (eating habits, sleep, exercise...)? I am going to start some home workouts this week! My gym membership also comes off of being on hold on Thursday but I'm not sure I'm ready to leave baby in the daycare there. I might be crazy.
What are some of your short term health goals this month? get my workouts in! My back and neck have been in so much pain I could hardly move the past few weeks so I think strengthening would really help at this point!
GTKY: If you could be (location) anywhere in the world right now (beginning of January) with your significant other and LO(s), where would you be? somewhere warm!!! With our anniversary coming up perhaps Turks and Caicos, in a villa on the beach, with a pool!! DH and I got married there but on a cruise ship so we actually never got the chance to see the island so we're looking forward to going back.
How many weeks PP are you? 9 as of yesterday
How is/was your PP recovery? Painful in the beginning, just fine now. Ive been back in my pre-pregnancy clothes for a while now.
What healthy choices are you making this week (eating habits, sleep, exercise...)? Going to the physical therapist next week to get cleared for exercise
What are some of your short term health goals this month? Working my way back into an exercise routine
GTKY: If you could be (location) anywhere in the world right now (beginning of January) with your significant other and LO(s), where would you be? Somewhere sunny with a babysitter to take care of nighttime feedings!

How many weeks PP are you? 6+2
How is/was your PP recovery? It was fine. I got some sort of flu the second day home. This caused me to expel all excess water from my body so I was back down to pre pregnancy weight pretty quick (about 30 lbs). I was so thankful I had been wearing depends otherwise I would have had a few messes. Losing the weight so fast caused a rash on my legs that finally cleared up after a couple weeks. But other than that I feel great and have pretty much since the second week.
What healthy choices are you making this week (eating habits, sleep, exercise...)? I binged on desserts over the holidays so cutting back on that. We renewed our Y membership so I am finally going to get back to my cardio kickboxing classes this week!
What are some of your short term health goals this month? just easing my way back into my workout routine.
GTKY: If you could be (location) anywhere in the world right now (beginning of January) with your significant other and LO(s), where would you be? I'm not a big traveler. I like being home.

TTC#2 April 2019How is/was your PP recovery? GREAT, and I'm back to working out.
What healthy choices are you making this week (eating habits, sleep, exercise...)? Eating better (less carbs, more fruit and veggies, and we're doing no (in reality lower) sugar January, and working out (beachbody 21 day fix but only 3-4 days/week)
What are some of your short term health goals this month? I'd like to see the scale number go down.
GTKY: If you could be (location) anywhere in the world right now (beginning of January) with your significant other and LO(s), where would you be? Home is pretty great right now. We're in winter and it's cold and we have lots of snow!

How is/was your PP recovery? Could be worse. Bleeding stopping at about four weeks. Had a teeny tiny spot of blood today. -__- I've had some minor urine leakage... ugh, so still rocking liners. On the bright side, lost my weight in two weeks. But now I'm under my weight, and I'm afraid I'm losing all of my muscle
What healthy choices are you making this week (eating habits, sleep, exercise...)? Cutting back (not out :P) on sweets—my mom is a holiday baking nut. Bought some prepped healthy foods during my grocery haul for the week. Worth the extra expense to my budget while we're still adjusting... DH has had minimal patience for cooking, understandably.
What are some of your short term health goals this month? DH goes back to work on Monday, so I want to focus on figuring out and sticking to our routine since we'll be solo soon. I want to get back to my body pump classes, and get a futsal session or two in.
GTKY: If you could be (location) anywhere in the world right now (beginning of January) with your significant other and LO(s), where would you be? A hot beach!
How is/was your PP recovery? The first 2 weeks were hard but after that not bad besides gaining weight instead of losing it!!!
What healthy choices are you making this week (eating habits, sleep, exercise...)?
Starting to look up work outs since I seem to be gaining weight instead of losing it!
What are some of your short term health goals this month? To work out 5 days a week at least and lose 5-10lbs.
GTKY: If you could be (location) anywhere in the world right now (beginning of January) with your significant other and LO(s), where would you be? Florida

How is/was your PP recovery?
Pretty great actually! Bleeding was never too out of control and stopped at 3 weeks.

We meal planned and I prepped on Sunday so I have healthy quick meals in the fridge along with snacks ready to go. So long mac and cheese. I went back to my barre class this week and am reallllly sore! Felt so good to go back but how on earth does everyone find time to work out?! If by chance he naps during the day I brush my teeth or clean up a bit.
What are some of your short term health goals this month?
To shed the last of this baby weight!

Oh gosh, away from this cold WI weather! Back to Jamaica!
I do plan to use the gym's childcare, but as soon as we are all healthy (first DD1 had pneumonia, then DD2 had some respiratory virus and now it's my turn!). I'm a little nervous to put her there so young, but honestly, she's exposed to every germ from big sister and she'll probably be in the swing or being carried in an Ergo by a worker (which are mostly local moms), so it's not as scary as it was when DD1 was a baby.
I only share because I remember wanting to workout so badly but wanting to be there for my baby just as much if not more and it caused a lot of stress and frustration and guilt in my life for that duration of time.
