beaten the plateau! week....12 maybe?

Hello fellow blitzers! I always seem to be apologising for not updating my blog. 2 kids and working out and working and computer time seems to slip to the bottom of the priority pile!

I have been stuck on a plateau for what seems like FOREVER! My weight fluctuating between 68 and 69kg. FINALLY I dropped and am sitting at 67.7kg and weigh in is on Thursday so hoping for a bigger drop. I have been working out A LOT! Spartan race is in 4 weeks!!!

I have come to the conclusion that losing weight after babies is as different for each baby as each baby and pregnancy is different. With Callum the weight dropped off steadily by eating 1,800cals a day and working out. This time round that just did not seem to be working regardless of how much a changed it around.

I have cut out red meat, anything full fat, anything white (flour, rice, pasta, bread) and sticking to whole grains. I am eating as MUCH fruit and veggies as I can. If I go over my calorie allowance with fruit I don't mind. No-one got fat eating fruit and veggies! So far so good...my milk is good and the weight is finally dropping off. Iona is on solids now, eating oatmeal twice a day and yoghurts and sweet potato. I know we build fat stores to use for breast feeding and maybe this pregnancy I held onto my feeding stores a little longer?

I will post weight and stats on thursday. Until then...

HAPPY BLITZING!!!
