I'm a mom of two, and my youngest is about to turn 2. I cannot for the life of me lose the excess “baby weight” and trim down. My main goal is to continue building strength and lower my overall body fat percentage/improve my body composition. If anything, I’ve actually gained weight since the first year I was postpartum.
My next question is about macros. I’ve counted macros for a while, and I feel like I’m eating enough. How would I know the difference between eating too much, which would explain the weight plateau/gain, versus still overtraining/under eating? How long should I give my body from stopping all the hybrid training/running and returning back to weight lifting, with very minimal high-intensity work, to let my body adapt and trust the increased calories/less “intense” movement?
It gets so discouraging and frustrating when I just want to be comfortable in my own skin but also be the best version of myself for my husband and kids. I’m drained mentally at the complexity of it when I try to do it all and I’m stuck looking like an average Joe that doesn’t work out, even though I can lift and move fairly well.
