About a month or so ago I ended my nursing journey with Graham and each week since, I've found the scale increasing a little bit. Not having changed anything about how I was living, I can only assume not nursing was the culprit. I finally hit a point this past weekend that of all the things I can't control in life, my body and health is something I can! I dusted off my Fitbit and went for a long walk (alone!) while my husband was home with a napping toddler. I was only gone for about 35 minutes but I felt so good afterward! Maybe it was simply taking time for myself but I felt so motivated to continue this "health kick". Aside from moving more, I'm trying to eat cleaner/more consciously and taking deep restrain for my after dinner snacking. So far, it's been 5 days and I'm already seeing some improvements on the scale and my mental health.
Anyone else struggle to put yourself as a priority when you have kids? It's much harder to prioritize than it seems! I'm starting small (with walking) so I don't get ahead of what I can actually handle and hoping to add more intensity with running and some sort of routine from there. It's not about weight loss at this point, it's really about carving out time in my day that's just for me and also clear my head in the process.
