still fat but exercising

life has been pretty hectic with little queen, which is what I will call the new born here. Days and nights seem to be all rolled into one and days are just flying past. The great thing about having baby no. 2 is that you know what the best parts of it are and its kinda fun to have both a girl and a boy.

So I am managing the cooking along with the kids, with some employed help of course! While I can say I have almost completely eliminated processed food from my diet, I still am yet to see any luck on the scale. I exercise at least 30 minutes 6 days a week and 45 on some lucky days. 

Why I am not losing weight is a mystery I'd really like to solve. After a lot of cribbing, I have decided that until I ca bite the bullet on my diet restricting to 1500 Cals a day, I am not going to fret about weight loss or rather my weight gain. I am very distraught about it, but can't do much for now. Here are my favourite exercise options:

Work outs from an app called Fit Woman.

While my most favourite is the walk at home series, the Fit woman app gives me 13 minute workout that is totally doable. 13 minutes can get no excuses, right? So yes that's it for now. I will continue to exercise more for the endorphins than weight loss for now.

Thanks to all those who gave me support on my bfing issues. I am still working on it.

How are things in your parts?

Brain dump!

Hi guys!

Just logging in to stay accountable and focused.

Post my last pregnancy I ate a lot of food. Lots of refined carbs and sugar and was immobile for at least 2.5 months. Still my weight at the end of my pregnancy was the weight at which I started my first weight loss attempt.

This time, I was working out till at least 7 months pregnant. Why I stopped after is a seperate post, but I gained roughly 9 kgs, which is really a very decent number. Post partum
I was faced with a pre mature baby and lack of adequate milk. I ate everything that people advised would help in lactation, but still very cautiously. Still I gained at least 5 kgs. I started exercising around week 5 post partum. Still I gained weight :(. I feel terrible and horrible about being fat again. My confidence is pretty sad, more so because the lactation is still an issue.

I am still exercising - a combination of Leslie Sansone walk at home 3 miles, the link reader and good friend Gowri left on my previous post and my own strength training circuit with weights. Right now that is all I can manage with Chittu and the new born, with out any help at home. The endorphins do me good and strength and stamina is never a bad idea. So I will just keep at this.

My food choices are not stellar, but certainly not bad either with my intake of processed food almost nil. Let's see where I go with this!

Just a month more and my maternity leave will be over. What I will do after is a nightmare I don't want to embark on.

Sorry guys. I just needed a brain dump I guess. Feels better already.

Will keep the updates coming.
