Morning breakfast is after I’ve consumed my litre of water ½ cup of porrage ½ cup almond milk ½ water Teaspoon cinnamon Tablespoon sunflower and pumpkin seed mix. I mix it up. Some days I cut up a banana other days I sprinkle a tablespoon of dried fruit And on the side I have my Skinny Coffee.

The beginning

From the start of my second pregnancy I was 124 lbs. I'm 5'2 so it was a healthy start. And through the pregnancy I decided I'd be more active than my previous pregnancy. So I walked at least three times a week for 40 minutes and ate at home almost all the time. That was a key factor. I had all these cravings and I wanted a McDonalds milk shake and double cheese burger but I'd have a salad instead. And the end of my pregnancy I was 154 lbs and when T was born I was down to 140bs. I had gained around 14lbs. I give two pounds to my breasts. One pound each. So for the first 8 weeks of T's life I didn't change much. I ate plenty of carbs and dairy. Both of which I've given up 6 days of the week. I drink a litre of water before every meal. Since giving up carbs the scale reads 135. I've been at this three weeks now. Except Saturdays. I take a break and eat want I want. It keeps me sane. It's been a nice slow way of losing weight.

My postpartum weight loss journey and beyond.

So I had a baby about 11 weeks ago. I'm 24 years old and the mother of two beautiful boys and like everyone. I'm on a journey and right now my destination is to lose my baby weight. Now I'm breastfeeding and let me tell you. This whole "you'll lose weight if you breastfeed" truth/myth is exactly that. For some its true for others like me is a myth. I'm relatively young and healthy and I didn't even lose the weight until I weaned my first son at 16 months after walking two hours everyday and being realistic I don't have time for that anymore when managing two boys. And then after that it took another year to drop the weight. Now I'm not writing a How To: kind of thing. I'm merely documenting my journey for inspiration. My circumstances could different to anyones but I only know what works for me.
