This is a list of today's meals. I'm not bulking or cutting, just getting back to eating better. No weighing or measuring, nothing planned, this is just how it fell.

M1 - egg whites, spinach, feta cheese, multi-grain toast
M2 - tuna, brown rice, avocado
M3 - Gaspari Intrapro (chocolate), peanut butter
M4 - chicken breast, orange bell pepper, nectarine
M5 - Greek yogurt (plain, 0%)

Here are some pics of the kiddos. Jackson will be 2 months old tomorrow and Austin is 20 months.

I was seriously sore until yesterday from Thursday's leg day. Oops. Maybe should have pressed less for the first time in 8 months or so. I was dying to use a pre-WO and the baby's only been nursing at night for the past few days, so I took half a scoop of Superpump MAX for fun. That's all I really needed since my stim tolerance is low after going caffeine free (or close to it) for such a long time. By the time I got to the gym I had that 'amped' feeling that I haven't had in ages. Good times. Working sets listed.

I have now hit every muscle group for the first time postpartum. Feels good. Abs still feel funky. I could stand to clean up the diet a bit, so I am. I'll likely post today's meals later if I have time.

Sore. Really ****ing sore. Why do I need to carry two kids up a flight of stairs when I'm this sore, lol? Yup, first leg day postpartum and first time free squatting and leg pressing in what seems like forever. Not as weak here as I'd anticipated, but nowhere near acceptable. I also definitely need my belt even for light squats; my back was not pleased at all. Despite all my whining, I'm really happy to be in the mix with a real split and a training concept in mind to follow.

It would be nice to use some supplements to aid in the soreness, but all in due time I suppose.

I'd forgotten how much nursing zaps my strength and energy. I'm actually lifting lighter now than I did a week before giving birth. On the other hand, training zaps my supply so I'm lucky Jackson will also take formula in a bottle (Austin didn't for a very long time). I took one of my nephews to the gym with me yesterday since he loves the daycare and he won't be able to come again for a while (school starts today). Working sets listed only.

My elbows did not feel good for the tricep work. I'll have to keep an eye on that.

I keep getting killer headaches PWO, I'm assuming from blood pressure fluctuations that my body's not used to anymore. Any suggestions?

Leg day is up next. Yes, skurred, lol.

It was a little longer between workouts than anticipated. Friday was skipped since I had to wait for FedEx to bring my egg whites. Chocolate egg whites. Highly recommended from Muscle Egg - 26g protein and 4g carbs per 8oz. After that we headed to a birthday party for one of Austin's friends. The kid has a more active social life than me.

Saturday was a happy surprise, as I got a spa day from Danny at Dorit Baxter. Wonderful. Sunday we went to the Cahills all day to swim and BBQ. Monday Danny trained then we did a BrU run, lol.

So, on to today's session, similarly as weak and pathetic as back day had been.

Holy **** was I sore from this, and thoroughly embarrassed for being sore after lifting such sad, small, pathetic weights, lol. I suppose I haven't really lifted anything of substance this year, so it'll take time to get back in the flow.

Baby #2 (Jackson) is now 7 weeks old and Austin is 19 months. I need some me time and the gym seems to be the only place to find it. Thankfully, my cousin offered to watch the baby so I can train, so I'm at the mercy of her schedule, but I'll take it. Austin does well in the gym daycare.
