As much as I'd like to blog everyday, it's so hard to find "free" time with three kids. I feel like my life is constantly on "speed" mode - nurse baby, wake up & make breakfast, nurse tot, nurse baby, play with tot, get everyone dressed, change diapers, nurse baby, distract tot, throw laundry into washer & get out of the house before Big sis is late to gymnastics.... Get home & unload everyone, feed lunch, nurse baby & devour my food, change diapers, lay with tot, nurse baby, throw laundry into dryer, lay with tot again (because he refuses to sleep), nurse tot & baby, avoid napping with kids so I can sit down & pay bills, sing/dance with Big sis, load/unload dishwasher, decide on dinner or run off to another event, nurse baby, change diapers, and then start bedtime routines..... Repeat. It never ends. So here I am at 12:33am writing to you about my 3rd Pregnancy weight loss progress following my 10 day AdvoCare cleanse. I have to admit, since ending the cleanse, I've had way more "cheat" meals than ever! The last 1-2 weeks have been super busy and we've unfortunately eaten out more. I know it's not 100% healthy, but my "go-to" fast food meal is a Chicken & Ranch premium wrap from McDonalds or a Beach Club Unwich from JJ's. Despite our bad eating-out habits, I've managed to continue taking my vitamins (AdvoCare Coreplex with Iron & Catalyst), drink plenty of water, get 2 glasses of Spark/Rehydrate (I make combo drinks) in & LOSE weight! Remember, I am Tandem nursing so my main priority is proper calorie consumption. My goal, at this time, is not to drop a bunch of pounds, but rather to work my way back to prepregnancy weight.
My cleanse ended July 1st and on the morning of July 2nd I weighed 152.2 (down 3 pounds from the cleanse & down 24.8 pounds from delivery day)
These are my 12 1/2 weeks postpartum results taken 7/10, just 8 days following the conclusion of my AdvoCare 10 day cleanse.
Down another 3.2 pounds!! I was ecstatic to see these results! Not only am I gaining self confidence again, I'm also gaining energy! I'm fueling my body with (mostly) proper nutrients & most definitely feeling the effects of it!
Even with results like this, I'm still far from where I want to be. My belly is in need of major toning!! While I'm not ashamed of my mommy pouch & marks, I'd still like to feel a little more comfortable in my own skin. Here is a closer look at my incredible belly that beautifully housed three amazing little.
So there you have it. One week post cleanse & 12 1/2 weeks PP = down 28 pounds from DD (delivery day) with only 12 pounds left to lose! I love my AdvoCare life!
