Weight

At two months postpartum, I have dropped 69% of the weight I had gained in the pregnancy. I’m not allowed to know actual weights, for my own sanity and well-being, but I was curious to know what my relative weight change was at this point. I missed the eight weeks mark, but managed to get my weight at the two months one two days later instead. Nonetheless, without being able to exercise at all or be in a calorie deficit with my food, I am down 69%. And it feels good. I noticed just a couple days ago, possibly right at two months, actually, that I am feeling physically almost normal again. In a weight sense, I mean. So, hearing the 69% was validating for how I was feeling. I definitely still don’t feel strong like I used to feel, and definitely not toned either. But I’m feeling more me-sized, and that feels good in and of itself.

Hopefully, the garage gym will be accessible in the coming days, and I can start exercising for real, so I can build up some muscle again (and release some major stress build-ups at the same time!).

Thank you, God, for your guidance. Please, heal me fully now. Heal my daughter’s digestion. Keep her and my husband and me safe, please, and make us well. Thank you for our home. Thank you for our family. Show us always clearly our next step in fulfilling your will, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.
