The Rut

More than a year ago, I promised myself to get back into shape and get my 'numbers' right in order to be healthy. I needed to lower down my triglycerides and my trim my waistline. I was on fish oil, niacin (which I had to forego due to killer migraines), south beach diet, and exercise.

The picture above shows quite a belly, still out of shape but with a little waist nonetheless. My pospartum tummy looks a lot like this but with faint line along the belly button and a wound across underneath. The binder/waist trimmer that I have been using has lost its magic. Or perhaps I have plateaued already...

Now, I am in the same rut I used to be when I had my first baby. Rapid weight and waist loss after a month and then nothing happens pretty much afterwards anymore! My waist sits on 30, darn! Last week it was at 29 already (perhaps due to my fever)! I am too ambitious to lose five more inches in the next couple of months, but who knows? NGE!

Right now, my milk supply is not that great compared to the day before I got a really high fever. I feel a bit sad and guilty because my little baby is fed with formula. Ay, bad thoughts go away!
