Postpartum Recovery: Day 19

I was supposed to go heavy, but I am still pretty inexperienced with doing a power clean, so I opted to go less weight and more reps in order to get used to the 2-pull motion and start training my muscles. I definitely need to do this as a skill day after finishing up PTP.

I also can feel my body getting stronger and it's liberating. I am operating on zero sleep these days because of the new baby, but I feel fantastic. Of course I'm tired, but I'm not exhausted. The combination of the better eating + PTP strength building cycle is doing wonders for my body. And as of yesterday, I've lost 8.5 lbs. Hallelujah!
