Workout Update as a Mom - Follow my Journey
Here is my FB update with my workout. My goal is to reduce my mommy pouch because of diastasis recti. I am not on a diet because I eat a lot due to breastfeeding.

Breastfeeding break after my 20-minute exercise... While doing my exercise, my kids love to stay near me and play around.

As a mom trying to do my exercise... the baby girl is breastfeeding while the toddler boy has fallen to sleep.

Noice! I was proud I made 14k steps this day.

5k steps at 3 AM because we were having a party and drinking plus music care of the husband.

12k, 12k, 5k (BBQ day), 11k steps for 4 days. My husband said we will have weeks of fiesta from July 18 to August 15. Lots of food so no diet or intermittent fasting.
I will try to achieve 7k steps if I can't reach 10k steps a day.
Posting this for accountability. XD

After 2 days of doing at least 10k steps a day...
* I gained weight - huhuhu
* but I woke up today less bloated - yes
* I lost an inch of my waistline from 30 down to 29 inches - yahoo
Where is that extra weight going? Hmmm...
I am not losing weight
Yes, I am not losing weight because I keep on eating. Here's a photo of my tummy pooch. My baby girl is already 1 year old.
My friend's comment
Don’t just rely on the scale, Rox. There are times that you may gain muscles through muscle building or toning. Sometimes, the increase in weight may be due to an increase in muscle mass and a decrease in fat mass. More muscles mean more natural fat burners — muscles burn fats.
It may also be water weight if you drink a lot of water prior to weighing yourself.
It’s better to have an accurate weighing scale that can calculate your fat mass, muscle mass, bone mass, water weight, etc.

Yay! 12k steps for today. I am waiting for my hula hoop to arrive from Ali Express. XD
I'm starting my 10k steps a day journey hoping for myself to be consistent.
Almost every night, I drink tea because it helps me to reduce bloat and feel better in the morning.
