I find myself eating rubbish too alot of the times. It's just so easy to grab a biscuit so now I just avoid buying them. I try to have all the fruit easily accessible and visible so I reach for that instead. Grapes, apples, nectarines...anything you can eat with one hand really while you're feeding. Just as quick as grabbing a biccie.

As for meals, we've been eating really quick and easy ones. I've had the odd occasional "good" evening where I've managed to cook up a yummy fancy meal, but 99% of the time it's either spag bol, spag marinara (use the mix from the fish monger), tuna bake, curries. When I get a few minutes through the day, I chop the veggies and get the ingredients ready so at dinner time all I have to do is cook it.

Lunches are very simple as well. I just eat sandwiches and fruit with DS. As DD is getting older and her feeding patterns are falling into place, I prepare things when she's sleeping.

DS still has one day sleep so as soon as he is sleeping, I lay down on the bed with DD while she feeds and I snooze. Getting this extra bit of sleep during the day really, really helps with my energy levels.

I try to go for a big walk (30 minutes) once a week. I use to walk almost every day but just once a week is what I aim for and I'm happy with that for now. Will start to increase it as we all settle into routines.

Just getting out in the backyard for some fresh air helps as well. I feed DD there while DS plays in his cubby house or sandpit. Then I'll potter around and pull some weeds out, etc.

Remember your body is still recovering from the birth, so it's ok to take it easy for awhile. I feel so unfit but one step at a time and I know soon enough I'll be back into the swing of things. You will too. Just aim for one or two walks a week if that's what you feel like doing and take it from there.

Oh and I have found this second time around, drinking water has made a huge difference to my energy levels. Make sure you drink LOTS especially if you're breastfeeding. I find I feel really sluggish if I haven't had much water to drink so I have 5 of those 600ml water bottles in the fridge and make sure I drink all of them by the end of the day. It really does help.
