It’s not too bad! Yes so in Feb started HE so I was in a calorie surplus with lots of protein and started lifting weights. I feel like I put on a fair bit of muscle and fat which happens when bulking and now I wanted to cut a bit so just prioritizing protein and cutting down on carbs and fat to just put me in a slight cal deficit. Still lifting the same amount - like 20 mins 5 days/ week with 35lb kettlebell and 10lb weights. I don’t do many reps since I ride 3/4 horses those days. Then 2 days a week don’t workout and am a little more relaxed on the diet. Also staying up with supplements and tea. I read a lot in the “how we got our boys” that moms were wedding pepping and would get fit then after get a bit lax so I’m going with that approach!! I plan to keep up weights and add in more fat / carbs, keep protein high and eat more snacks starting July (I have a horseshow to go to I wanted to look good for) when my youngest turns 1. Then going to try to get her to feed less and rely more on food to try to get my cycle back. Right now she eats very little food almost none and nurses constantly which is good right now!! Right now I’m debating if I should schedule her nursing and get my cycle back BEFORE starting to up cals or up cals and then fiddle around with the feedings. Either way, I do want to be upping for a full solid 6 weeks before attempts begin. So anyways, that’s my long boring story but I really like having a “goal” to work towards!!! What’s your plan??

Sounds like you have a plan ready to go conquer haha well done on being able to add in the weight lifting 5 days per week! You must be quite athletic anyhow if you ride a lot?
Remind my sleep deprived, oh-so-exhausted brain… how many kids (and what gender) do you have? I know you have your little girl that is soon turning one but can’t recall other details, sorry
When did your cycles return for your previous babies? Getting your DD to eat more solids will definitely help that along! I found that the sweet spot tends to be when they don’t rely on BFing for nutrition most of the time, but BFeeds are just a complement to their main eating.
As for me – the plan is still vague (which I hate haha) as I have to first make sure I can get hubby convinced and within what timeframe…that sort of also will dictate a more specific action plan.
That being said, I do want to ensure that my body is as geared towards blue as possible at any time, given that #4 was our little oops – one can never be too careful! ^^
But overall, my thinking is - get rid of a bit of fat and build muscle (overall get toned and fit) and stay the course for a while and then once I know we will be ready TTC in 3 months (right now, regardless, can’t get pregnant as just started a new job so the earliest I could start TTC would be early next year, more so mid next year), up the calories/protein somewhat (the theory of plentiful resources etc) , maintain/build muscle but hopefully (the literal and not literal) heavy lifting will already been done with the previous part of the process... so can easily keep it up and if needed, get more muscular/eat more in the immediate lead-up to TTC.
Right now am so darn sleep deprived that I cannot fathom even remotely trying to be pregnant anyhow haha
My DD is a bit older than yours but she also nurses constantly – she eats well at nursery but at home with me, not always eating big quantities and she is bOOb obsessed – and is latched on all friggin night…as much as I love her, I need her back in her room/bed soon. I have given in so far as it was just easier and overall got more rest, as poor thing has been sick heaps and teething like mad especially since she started nursery/I went back to work. It’s a huge comfort thing for her too, so don’t want to rush in weaning her too fast.
But no cycle yet – first time it’s taken this long to return (suspect it’s the night nursing that is more intense than with previous girls): hope I’m still somewhat fertile, at now over 37 y.o (sigh).Lucky Mummy to 4 sweet divas

Our sway didn’t work for #3 & we had a little oops for #4 but we love them all to bits... not sure if we ever will but somehow hoping we might add blue to the crew, to complete our family, one day...
Fingers crossed for TTC #5 (again) for early 2024!

I get the grass fed gelatin. I used to drink matcha but I don’t anymore bc I dunno I feel like I always have to change things! Now I just have regular tea & milk and put it in my morning “bowl” cauliflower rice/ gelatin/ goat protein/ oats. It’s weird but I’m eating a ton of vegetables to keep my volume up and calories down. But I used to just put the matcha powder and gelatin in my cup and add water and milk- it was chunky but I am not picky whatsoever so I liked it.
Yeah I have a “plan” I’m just the type always scheming and planning and then having a “new” plan/ scheme lol so I hope this isn’t going three steps back but I do plan on giving he the full 6 week attention! I want to get down a few more lbs of fat then can maintain or gain a teeny bit doing HE.
Start those weights! Even a little is better than none!
I am in the same boat with my baby, wants to nurse all night which is great because I do not want to get pregnant while cutting! Nurse is all day too. I have a girl she is six and a boy he is three then my almost one year old. So I am trying to get a brother for my boy!

I’m not sure when you got my periods back previously but I know it was over a year for sure, my babies nurse a lot and tend to walk early but eat later. So they were drinking all the time plus both times I was pumping for my sisters adopted babies. I wanted to coincide my HE to peak when she starts eating more solids because of the oops factor!

Thanks! Got some flavourless grass fed gelatin - but haven’t started using it yet as have to find a way to get it down haha hence asking about the drink :P
I also have to make some more bone broth as have run out and I add it to Amy sauce or soup I make
You seem to be eating a lot of game - y meat - Id say that is awesome for blue!
Yes definitely trying to get weights in whenever I can - I usually do HIIT with Jody weight and for now, small weights as can’t so the heavy kettlebell due to my shitty wrists !
I know what you mean with the “always scheming “ lol same here !
Since your TTC isn’t too far away am sure you’ll be just fine… must be so reassuring already having had a boy so you know you can make them! I feel like I’m trying to go against all friggin odds with having only girls and 4 of them, at that!

I successfully had my girl nearly 3 years ago thanks to an awesome plan from atomic. I have just started on Ozempic to try and lose some weight due to PCOS and it’s working well. Does anyone...
Ozempic/GLP - does it sway girl -...
