With less than two months remaining in the year, I can’t help but reflect on 2018 in terms of my postpartum fitness journey. This is my second year postpartum and first year I’m no longer breastfeeding. I weaned from breastfeeding around 14 months back in March. Since then, particularly as I look back now, I’ve been struggling with my weight. At the beginning of the year I feel like I was at the top of my game.
