Workout update
hmmmmm, well I didn't expect this. So my body is protesting. I'm finally motivated to work out, and get my ass in gear, and my body says, no no, thats a bad idea. As most of you should know I exclusively breastfeed Atticus, and low and behold, working out has caused a supply issue. According to numerous online calculators, I should be eating something in the 2800 calorie range to sustain me, and breastfeed, and work out. Guess what - its not happening. By evenings little boy is irate because hes getting so little at the breast despite doing all the 'right' things to keep my supply up. He has been taking 2oz of pumped milk in a bottle before bed just to keep him happy. So I stopped working out, and low and behold, my supply got better. To make sure I had a control fctor I worked out again, and my supply struggled again. Pain in my ass. So my working out has now been knocked back to minimal walking or yoga for now until I get a bit more regulated. A is only 8 weeks old, so I still have PLENTY of time to get in shape - but I will tell you this is a curveball I was not expecting.
