Hi everyone,
First time posting to this sub and I am six months post-partum.
I have 4lbs left to lose and, as tends to be the case with the final 5-10, they will not budge.
I do Tabata once a week (just a beginner for now but am feeling more confident to ramp it up starting next month) and on the days I do not do those workouts (I take professional classes, so we have done the cardo ones, as well as bands and weights) I run an hour each day with only one day of rest from it, plus stroller walks with baby everyday for 45 minutes to an hour, lift weights every other day and do band exercises (so Pilates-type videos) on days I don't do weights.
My current diet is almost entirely vegetarian, no sugar, no alcohol.
Here's the issue. I don't purposely mean to do this, but because I am home with baby all day while SO works full-time, depending on what is going on with baby, I have found that for a lot of days (over the past month especially) I might not even be eating 1200 calories. It's not on purpose, but I have to meet baby's needs before my own, so then it's not until I am going to bed that I realize, "Oh crap, I don't think I ate enough today."
Here's the other kicker- maybe it's just because I am distracted by taking care of baby, but on the days I haven't eaten enough, I genuinely do not feel hungry and I find it hard to force-feed myself if I just am not hungry. On days I have Tabata, i am super hungry and so I eat a big meal while baby naps and before I do anything else as a just in case, then have dinner when SO is home. On days where I am not as super active I find it harder to make myself eat if I am not hungry (even though I run quite a lot).
Have I screwed up my system, and that is why I am not losing the last few pounds? Or is it just going to take a lot of time? Should I force-feed myself if I am truly not hungry?
