Any Mommas Who Work Out Here?

Ugh I was a total gym rat before getting pregnant. Can't wait to get back into it!!

@haileybuttons, agreed! I just started back working out! I had goals of becoming an NPC figure but not sure if I want to compete anymore I really just want the nice, chiseled body ☺️. I just wanted to know are protein shakes healthy or recommended to consume while EBF?

I'm not sure but I wondered the same thing! I miss that bod, gah damn. I felt so confident. Now I feel like a blob 😑 I'm going to look into it now

@haileybuttons, you should definitely get back to it! It just feels so amazing and refreshing lol even tho I'm a little bit tired I know it'll all be worth it. I came across a Protein for pregnant moms called baby booster. Was thinking about contacting them to find out if they recommend their product for mothers who've already had the baby as well.

@haileybuttons, that was quick! Thank you. Reading up on that now.!

Yes, I workout about 5-6 times a week and I'm a personal trainer.

@kimberkatherine, hey! Do you take any extra protein?

@kimberkatherine, like shakes

I really try not to do shakes. I make nutritional plans so I understand how to calculate how much protein I should be getting for my weight/pregnancy and activity but I try to only get my protein from food sources. @sokori

Okay great! I really didn't want to do shakes but if food alone can do the trick I'll definitely stick to it. I breastfeed so I definitely need more protein than if I wasn't but not sure how much is enough. @kimberkatherine

It just depends on your body weight, how much you're working out, and what your maintenance macros need to be. @sokori

Thanks a lot! I will take it all into consideration. Hopefully I see improvement for the body I am trying to achieve.
