No Idea WhAt I'm Doing!

I am heavier postpartum than I was with any of my other three, and realistically I have 30-50 lbs to lose (30 to be at the high end of my goal range and 50 to be at my ultimate goal weight). I am a little overwhelmed at the road ahead but I know it’s possible with consistent effort, and that once I lose it this time I won’t have to worry about gaining baby weight ever again! So that helps.

Happy New Year! Hope you all had something that made your 2020 a good one, too, but if not— here’s to 2021 ❤️

Deep breaths. It’s about to get crazy up in my house with four kids😅

Not as good as my fish tacos but these chicken taco wraps were pretty good too! I’ve been on a lettuce wrap kick, they are really hitting the spot 👌

They were so good! If I had had avocado on hand, it would have put them over the top.

A rare moment wearing my hair down in the summer. it’s so freaking hot here

Throwback to when I went to FL earlier this year and was actually in pretty okay shape after my third baby... I’m determined to get back to this after this last one is born

I did it!! I went backpacking through the trinity alps almost 5 months pregnant... I can do hard things! It was very hard, especially with the altitude, and going uphill— especially in the sun (see my fried arms), but by golly I did it!

Could you make me a quesadilla?”

So I have that to look forward to/dread next month. Here’s hoping my nausea has completely cleared up by then. I know for sure I’ll be completely out of shape and not ready, but if I take it one mile at a time and stay hydrated I think I’ll be okay.

Already gained 6 lbs, my body is not playing this time around 😒

I am waiting until June to tell my family (my mom was already planning on flying out here in June) but I’m worried my dad will notice something is up because most days I’m lucky to get more than 200 active calories on my Apple Watch 😆

But the point is I’m very tired, and keeping active is the last thing I want to do. But I also know from my previous pregnancies that neglecting myself physically (not exercising/being active) makes for a more miserable experience during and after. So even if I just take the dog for a walk or do a quick YouTube workout video, that is a huge win for me. Right now I am laying in bed but as soon as I get a bit of a second wind I’ll go on a walk or something.
