So now we start anew. My weight has been an issue my whole life, and watching the scale go up as I was pregnant was nervewracking. I had really hoped to not gain too much - and for most of the pregnancy, I was okay - but I put on 20 pounds in that last trimester, for a total of 31. The first week after giving birth, I dropped a bunch - woo! But it's stalled since then, and it's been over two months now. I have no chance to exercise though (some days I don't even get to shower until my husband gets home from work!), so hopefully things will start to settle down a bit. I used to walk a *lot*, but that went out the window in the last half of the pregnancy due to pelvic separation issues, and I'm still recovering from that now. I know I need to put a focus on exercising - and also healthy eating - but it is definitely a whole new struggle with a newborn!
I'm also struggling with going dairy-free now - the baby has reflux and the pediatrician told me to cut out the dairy. Not fun at all, especially since fat-free Greek yogurt and low-fat string cheese were amongst my go-to easy eats. It's such a difficulty to eat anything when you've got a baby who cries a lot (due to the reflux), and having to eliminate some of the "easy" foods stinks! If you have any dairy-free tips, I'd love to hear them. ;)
