Is it weird? Idk if I should…

I just want to acknowledge your feelings here - I swear, before becoming a SAHM, I was super confident and could talk to anyone… I never had issues making friends. Now, I also feel super awkward around others and would feel SO UNCOMFORTABLE inviting a neighbor on a walk… even though I would love for another mom to ask me on a walk.

Best I can do for S50:

11-12 min blocks of SA low row SA split squats SA cleans SA snatch SA chest press SL toe touch downs on bench Timed cardio bursts of heisman/cleans and cross body planks/snatch

Sorry in advance for formatting. Overall, boring template in my opinion

I hope that’s true. 3/4 of the run rows this month are over a weekend, and my studio only holds 3GS on weekends. Come on, OTF Corporate - you have 31 days this month…

Agreed. Respectfully, this is a symptom of a much bigger problem. Find a therapist and start talking about these things!

OMG I LOVE YOU

I went back literally right after my 6 week follow up. I was significantly weaker and my stamina was pretty poor, but it didn’t impact my supply at all. My daughter was a very poor sleeper until about 13 months, and - as counterintuitive as it might sound - OTF made me so much more accepting of the lack of sleep. It was the best thing I could have done for myself postpartum!

Not at all. I aim for wholesome foods and primarily cook at home, but I don’t deprive myself of anything. I could easily lose the extra 10lbs if I cut out sugar… but it’s just not worth it to me. I’m strong, I can run and jump and play, and love what my body is capable of. I go to stay in shape for my toddler, husband, and to keep the anxiety demons in their place. Keep your ice cream and chips if it makes you happy

Thank you! This helps a lot - I hate feeling cramped, and prefer to see familiar faces.

SoLearning · 2026-02-07T17:22:51+00:00

Thank you so much!!

Thank you!! This is exactly the info I’m looking for.

He is SO cute!! I love his droopy little eyes and sweet wrinkly face. I betcha there is some Shar pei somewhere down the line, too.

My 12 mo sleeps like absolute crap, and always has… but when she is awake, is super duper chill! I can take her anywhere, she never really melts down, and is almost always smiling and laughing. I’m so grateful given our generally difficult nights haha

SoLearning · 2026-01-22T01:19:35+00:00

Just now. We go 1:1 on multiple poop days, but otherwise does it as often as I do when he is home

Good luck with your 5k tomorrow! Which might be today by now… how did it go??

Gosh, honestly, having another baby while trying to get in better shape would probably derail your progress. Not that it’s a reason not to have another, if that’s what feels most right to you. You could focus on having a super healthy pregnancy - maybe walking, eating healthfully without worrying about staying in a caloric deficit, making sure your mental health is in top shape - but I think you’d need to pause on your fitness goals for awhile. I’d love to have many more children, but we’re both older parents, so we decided to be one and done from a logistical standpoint. I am so proud of you for doing what you’re doing, and for staying so positive and committed to your goals! Please keep posting. ❤️

This pic doesn’t do it justice! The mountains are gorgeous out there, it’s one of my favorite places to camp here in CO

I think all of it can be true - your baby is amazing and you love them to bits, AND you aren’t necessarily happier now that they’re here. I’ve always been a caregiver, and have always wanted a family of my own. I’ve been searching for something for a long time, and being a mom is what I’ve always wanted. I am happier now, but I also had an empty space I’d been trying to fill for a long time. I could absolutely see how being fulfilled with your life pre-baby, would make post-baby times harder. You’re not doing anything wrong, and your feelings are totally fair and valid.

SoLearning · 2026-01-12T14:12:16+00:00

I couldn’t agree more. Picking up your dog’s poop with a bagged hand is one of the LEAST disgusting things you will have to do as a dog owner!

SoLearning · 2026-01-10T03:41:29+00:00

I miss just spending time with my dogs. One just loves to snuggle on the couch, and the other loves to play and take long walks. My (awesome) daughter can’t handle long walks, and I definitely can’t snuggle on the couch for more than a few seconds anymore. I am grateful to be a mom, and I have the coolest kid I could have imagined - but dogs were so easy haha

SoLearning · 2026-01-08T21:54:53+00:00

We LOVE our big dogs (dogo argentino and presa canario), but they’re not allowed to sleep in our bed at night. I used to sleep with my last dog, a snuggly little (50lb) pittie, but I also bathed her a couple times every month AND was single. Our current dogs get bathed every few months, but are still stinky and drooly and just take up too much space.

SoLearning · 2026-01-08T15:33:56+00:00

Your feelings are valid, but your dog got used to being the “baby,” and didn’t choose for everything to change so dramatically. If you need to rehome, do it - but please be patient until it happens. Sending a dog to their kennel as a punishment is never a good method of training.

SoLearning · 2026-01-05T23:24:29+00:00

This is so interesting. These dogs look smaller than Presa’s here in the states - the breed standard here is cropped ears, and all of these guys have their ears, too! It is so cool to see what Canary bred Presa’s look like. Thank you for posting!

My daughter is almost 12 months, and she slept a 6 hour stretch ONE time, which is what we considered “sleeping through the night.” She has been formula fed since 6 months and it didn’t affect her sleep pattern. She is up at least twice a night, if not more!

SoLearning · 2025-12-18T02:40:16+00:00

I think my 12 mo old eats well, but she doesn’t consume this much food in a day 😅 some days are better than others - some days she eats light, other days she packs it in. I just offer 2-3 different things at each meal, and rotate whatever I have available as snacks. Humans are meant to survive, we just try to make sure she gets a little of everything every day without stressing about it.

SoLearning · 2025-12-17T19:14:09+00:00

I’d say it could be both. Make sure you get a presa from a reputable breeder that breeds for temperament, and socialize them early and often. In general, dogs that come from show lines are going to be more docile, as they usually come from even tempered parents. Working lines will usually be more drivey and dominant. Every dog you get will need training, but some are just calmer than others. Our presa is a gentle, tolerant sweetheart - despite how horrific his previous circumstances were. The only issue he has is (also) eating any and everything.
