Back to maintenance after a year long break!!!
 

Glad to be back to maintenance. I was here for 6 years until I got pregnant and (obviously) gained! I gained 2x the amount I was supposed to (oops :o) but it only took me 14 weeks to get back.

A bit of calorie counting here and there but mainly going with my intuition got me back here. Exercise consisted of a minimum 2 hour stroller walk per day or 2 hour walk with baby sling (16lb baby now!). Can't rest when you have a Spitz breed dog!!! I did go to the gym a couple of times and did about 1-2 workouts per week at home but that was only if the baby slept well during the night (and by "well", I mean only woke 3x!!).

My original goal was 125lbs but I chose 130lbs instead. I'd like to focus on building muscle now. My tummy will probably be jelly for many years as I pulled an abdominal muscle in pregnancy but whatever! No biggie.

Here are my progress pictures. Picture #1 was 163lbs the day before I got induced (I was about 150lbs after delivery). Pictures #2,3,4 are July, August, and September at exactly 1 month intervals (taken on the 14th).

In total, I lost 20lbs after the baby. I'm soooo glad to be back here because staying in maintenance and staying fit is important for my boy!

Welcome back to maintenance Sacha!

Wow, lost the baby weight in 14 weeks! Coolness!

Welcome back, Sacha! :) I'm glad you are doing so well.

Thank you ladies!!! :)

Welcome back Sacha and congratulations on your baby!
It took me 17 years to lose my baby weight so I think you did amazing! Such determination considering your extreme lack of sleep!!
