Eek!!! 🤗🤗 I wasn’t expecting a drop this morning since I had a little one yesterday. But when I look back at my journey, this seems to be a theme for me... locked in at a number for days or sometimes a couple weeks... then a few days of drops. Interesting!! I’ve also learned that good sleep is critical for me to be able to lose and maintain. I’ve learned so much along the way about what my body likes and what it doesn’t. Most importantly, I’ve learned to LOVE my body and myself in alllll of its stages, and giving myself a little love pep talk in the mirror (instead of picking myself apart), has done wonders. Sounds odd, but it’s true! Kind of like the studies they’ve done on houseplants.... the ones that were talked to, had music played for them and loved on, grew faster and healthier. The others only received bare necessities.. water, light, etc. They lived but didn’t thrive as well as the ones that were loved. Try it with your body... it works!!
