From a petite built of 48 kg, my weight shot up to 65 kg during my pregnancy. After delivering my son, my weight was reduced to 60 kg. The 5 kg comprised of my son’s weight of 2.5kg upon delivery and the amniotic fluid, placenta and blood totaled to another 2.5kg.
During my 2nd week of confinement, I have a Malay lady who massaged and wrapped me for a week. Yesterday, I went for my medical check up yesterday and I got another 3 kg off my scale. I guess the massage certainly made wonders. My massage lady was quite pleased with my progress as my womb was still in tact and I did not suffer from much blood clog. She shared with me that I should be able to go back to my figure shortly. Sounds good.
In total, I have lost 8 kg for 2.5 weeks but I’m still lagging behind my pre-pregnancy weight of 48kg. My gynae assured me that I will gain back my figure after 3 months. But she advised me to maintain a weight of 50kg instead as I can afford to be slightly heavier for my height.
Though I only left 9kg more to lose, I’m starting to get impatient as I want to be able to fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes by my son’s 1st month. Guess this goal cannot be achieved at such short deadline. Gosh, the flabby abs and muscle did look disgusting to me.
Well, I already planned a series of activities to whip me into shape before I start work in November. For my diet, I cannot really alter much as I am still breastfeeding. I can only ensure my snacks are non-fattening and yet healthy and fulfilling. By the way, I have never been slim throughout my life. I have to work hard to keep fit and lean since my 20s. I strongly adhere to the belief of “No pain, no gain”.
Do keep a look out for my next post on the type of activities which I have decided to make me lose inches.
