    Talking One tired Momma

    Finally.....hit my 6 weeks and can pick up my 16 month old daughter!! We had a very busy park, play date, and general cuddling weekend. Strangely enough, I broke my stall and lost almost 4 pounds over the weekend. I have to admit that Cassidie keeps me active and reminds me exactly WHY I did this. But, it was a long 6 weeks being unable to pick her up and do the things we wanted to together. One tired Momma right here!

    Hi Missy, congrats on your weightloss this weekend and making it past the 6 weeks. Your energy level should start to go up. Have you been going out and walking? You can put your daughter in a stroller and hit the pavement, I’d recommend getting some miles in everyday. Steady exercise will help your energy level rise. When I first started working out I was tired and now I have more energy than I know what to do with. All the best to you

    That is awesome!!!! I could not wait to hold my youngest granddaughter after my surgery. She is only 4 months old but a little chunker and I was so happy when I could pick her up and carry her around. I understand about the tired part They grow up so fast though... You are doing a great job!!!! xo

    Yeah, my 2 year old granddaughter is smaller than my 16 month old daughter. Both could not understand why I couldn't pick them up, play, do things. Now, I'm making up for lost time. I'm so thankful that they give me the strength when I don't feel like I have it on my own. A daily reminder of why I'm making the changes I have to. The trade off from junk food to healthy is worth it every time I look at those babies!

    Awww!! That is so sweet!! Are you taking B12? That helps a lot. I just found a tasty dissolvable one by Sundown Naturals on Amazon. It is 60000 mcg and cherry flavored. I was glad that it was not gross. That always makes me nervous when it is something I have to taste.

    That is precisely what I wanted to suggest. Putting your daughter in a stroller while you go on a walk is, in fact, a long walk. It can be an hourly walk or any other outdoor activity(that's if the weather is in support). You can even check for a pram buggy board to learn more about these strollers and boards. But I think a high-end stroller should be more convenient for you and your daughter, considering the circumstances. But it's been four years, so how did you cope if you're still here? I hope you're back to your best.
