[happyin14]

Hey guys!  Happy almost Valentine's Day!!  Hope everyone had a great week - can't wait to hear how it went.
I'm going to be slowly getting better about replying to everyone as I continue to get into the swing of being back to work. 


How many weeks PP are you?

How did your week go?  Did you meet your weekly goal?

What are your goals for this next week?

Any challenges coming up you'd like ideas with?

QOTW: Have you noticed any drop in supply at all?  And if so, are you doing anything to help that?

Hi!
How many weeks PP are you? 16 weeks yesterday

How did your week go? Did you meet your weekly goal? My goal was to get more sleep. I met it the last few days. The beginning if the week was rough -- DD did not want to sleep!

What are your goals for this next week? I'm going to begin a training schedule for a 5k in April. So the goal is to walk/run 3 times this week.

Any challenges coming up you'd like ideas with?
I'm having issues with my neck and back. Went to the chiro today and am taking it easy right now (This is the first alone time I've had since DD has been born. It feels downright LUXURIOUS!). I'll have to be careful with it this week.

QOTW: Have you noticed any drop in supply at all? And if so, are you doing anything to help that?
Some days I'll notice a decrease when I pump at work, but it's never consistent. It'll be down one day and then back to normal the next. I still haven't figured out what causes it though.

How many weeks PP are you?
4 weeks pp

How did your week go? Did you meet your weekly goal?
Good week overall. Got out with LO for a walk three times (other days it was too cold) but my weight has stayed the same and my eating choices could be better!

What are your goals for this next week?
Walk with LO several times and find some easy indoor exercises I can do.

Any challenges coming up you'd like ideas with?
Want to come shopping with me and help me not cry?

QOTW: Have you noticed any drop in supply at all? And if so, are you doing anything to help that?
I EBF so nope. Baby seems to be eating normally and satisfied.

How many weeks PP are you? 11 months

How did your week go?Did you meet your weekly goal? Better than last week. I met my goal of getting back to eating food from home vs restaurant food. It's hard to get work outs in though with a full days of work and wanting to see LO afterwards. Plus the weather hasn't been good which means no running outside.

What are your goals for this next week? Get a work out or two in

Any challenges coming up you'd like ideas with? What do you ladies do to balance work, LO and exercise?

QOTW: Have you noticed any drop in supply at all? My pumping sessions in the beginning of the week tends to be higher than the end of the week. A coworker thought that that just shows how stressful work is. Haven't done anything as I'm currently weaning from my last pump.

DH took me shopping last week for my birthday. I tried on about 5 pairs of jeans, threw them all back on the rack, & told him I just need to buy exercise clothes haha Crying while post-partum shopping is acceptable.

I find that I get my workouts in best after DD goes to bed for the night. The only problem with that is I'm so tired by then
And, I've noticed my supply doing the same thing. I thought maybe it had to do with being away from LO. After nursing all weekend it seems to be back up.
