So after 161 wonderful days of maternity leave I headed back to work today. It was hard, but thanks to a great class at Kaiser and workandpump.com I was well prepared. Here are a few suggestions I found helpful…

At least two weeks before returning to work:

  • Clean out and update your closet
  • Finalize child care arrangements
  • Work with your manager to create a reentry plan
  • Introduce the bottle
  • Complete a “practice day“

The night before returning to work:

  • Ensure your car has enough gas to get you to and from work for a few days
  • Wash and blow dry your hair instead of waiting till the morning.
  • Pack everything you need to bring to work (including your lunch).
  • Layout (and try on) your clothes.

Although I LOVE my maternity leave uniform (a.k.a yoga wear) I was excited to wear work clothes again.

What I wore today:

I know most people wouldn’t be caught dead in maternity pants post pregnancy but honestly, these pants from Japanese Weekend are not your typical maternity wear. I wanted to look stylish and still feel comfortable. These pants do just that.

Although I didn’t lose any weight this week, I didn’t gain any either, which is surprising considering how many turkey enchiladas I consumed. This is the first Thanksgiving in almost 10 years that I didn’t gain weight.

Bad news is I appear to be at a weight loss plateau. Good news is I am I managed to avoid eating a bag full of Halloween candy.

With one yoga class, one pilates class and a little over 3 miles logged I lost 2 pounds this week (for a grand total of 10 pounds in six weeks). Although I did manage to lose two pounds I am seriously losing steam. I am not sure how I am going to spice things up but I know I need to.

What I did:

Next Week’s Plan:

  • Walk/jog with the stroller a minimum of two miles a day 4 days a week
  • Complete two personal training sessions at Fit Personal Fitness Studio
  • Attend Mom and Baby Yoga Class on Wednesday
  • Attend Postnatal Pilates on Friday
  • Keep my caloric intake to roughly 1500 calories a day (using Loseit to track this)
  • At the end of the week, adjust the overall plan (as needed) in order to reach the goal.
