I love my newborn. He is truly amazing. But, wow having a newborn is way more challenging than I had imagined! I knew it would be hard, but I guess it is something I couldn’t truly understand until I was in it. So here I am! Exhausted, nursing my baby for what seems to be 20 hours of the day, amid the postpartum hormonal shifts, and dealing with house renovations (please pardon the mess in this video). It is all getting to me! The one thing that always kept me calm was working out and now there is limited to no time to do it. Fortunately I have worked out a schedule with my husband where I can get a 20 minute workout in on most days. On days that I have missed a workout, I am, well, a mess. I wanted to be real for you mothers out there…I now better understand what you have often expressed to me.
On the upside, I am getting stronger and stronger with each workout and I have been able to slowly increase my intensity and the amount of resistance I use. Weight loss is and will be slow. This is expected. I am not going to stress that as I am feeling stronger each day and I am feeling quite healthy. It is important not to focus on the weightloss and rather focus on maintaining a balanced lifestyle of fitness and health. The rest will fall together in time.
Again, please pardon the appearance of my space!
