Pre-pregnancy weight was 85.3 kg. And did a Reboot at the beginning of my pregnancy, and that together with the nausea from my morning sickness helped me to get down to 83 odd kilograms, can't remember the exact figure. Yesterday weighed in at 93.8 kg. So I'm up about 8.5 kilograms from my pre-pregnancy weight.
I can't help but feel proud of that!
I did get worried at a certain point when I gained more with this baby than what I've gained at the same point with my little boy, but some or other way I got the strength since beginning April to be really strict with myself - and I have not gained any weight since then. I only gained a bit while sick, but managed to lose it again quickly, so I think it was just my weight fluctuating due to medications and not feeling well, and also not drinking enough water.
Must admit, it was hard... have not had any chocolate for a very long time... but I focus on the fact that I want to desperately have a Vbac and have to keep my weight and baby's weight in check. So I tried my hardest to keep my eye on that goal.
I am sure with the help of Paleo, maybe lacto-Paleo, breastfeeding and a strong will I'll lose my pregnancy weight quickly. I just hope I find the energy while taking care of my newborn and juggle the rest of my family...
Next goal after losing pre-pregnancy weight is to try to get as close to breaking the 80's possible - hopefully in time for my sister's wedding in October!
Fingers crossed, really need to bounce back from this pregnancy quickly so that I can continue my weightloss journey. It's really important for me to reach a healthy weight range, I have been working on it for so long. I need it for me, I need it for hubby, and I need it for my children. I'm way past it being for the sake of looking good - it's for the way I want to feel from the inside. I want health, yes! I want fitness, yes! I want to feel energized!
