FINALLY! A new vlog is up <3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD0Of...

I gained a lot of weight during my pregnancy but even more after giving birth. I turned to food for comfort. I tried multiple times to start my postpartum fitness journey after giving birth but I think it was only successful when I was mentally ready. I gave birth on August 25,2020 through emergency C-section. Tried starting my fitness journey in January but ended up binge eating from March to June and gaining even more weight. Had enough and started again on July 1.

Sharing my journey for 100 days on here not as a challenge as usual but as a timeline for the video! I started lifting heavier once my diastasis recti ( ab separation healed ) and I also counted my macros focusing on high protein meals. I would have one meal prep a day by different meal prep stores ( not sponsored ) then would eat eggs, protein, or whatever I was craving really but incorporating into my macros for the day.


Still have a long way to go with my postpartum journey but proud of the progress!! Please be kind with your comments :(

36 weeks 🍈 Baby is the size of a HoneyDew! Little girl was weighing 5.7 pounds during my 34th week appointment 🙈 My doctor said she could arrive as early as next week???????!! 😮

Honestly scared for Labor but I have to believe that my body was built to birth!! All pregnant women in the Philippines have to do a swab test prior to giving birth and it’s only valid for 2 weeks so if you go over you have to swab again! No hubby in the delivery room and you have to wear a mask during labor! 😔

To all pregnant women during the time of Covid, we got this!!!!!! Also, can’t wait to get back into fitness soon!!!! Will vlog that journey again ❤️

My mind has been a dark place these past few weeks. I allowed myself to go through and feel what I needed to feel. I paused my CrossFit classes for that week because even my most favorite thing to do everyday, I dreaded. I went back on my anxiety meds and I’ve been feeling a bit better. Last week I told myself it’s okay to rest, it’s okay not to be okay but stay strong and live. .
.
I noticed all my thoughts have been so negative and man it can get exhausting. So what I’m trying to do is to cut my train of thought midway and to think the opposite of what I’m thinking. “ you’re a fail... cut to you’ve come so far and you’ve worked hard for it” It takes a lot of work to try to think the opposite but eventually things will be better.
Rest, but never quit. Told myself that today I will stop comparing myself to other people ( easier by not scrolling through social media mindlessly ), that I’m where I need to be in life ( been feeling a bit down and lost about my job closing this year) and to just keep going.
Started my morning with meditation and I’m now off to CrossFit! Hope you guys have an amazing week ahead ✨
