Simrtlifts

I have a lot to say but first things first , I am sorry to have randomly stopped posting and now randomly posting 😁. I wanted to share this wonderful news with you all ! We are expecting our second baby and I am due in May 2024 . We are thrilled and beyond excited ! The past five months have been extraordinary with so much growth and learning . I started a new role in my company , as a sales rep and I am so grateful that I got this opportunity. Everyday day is a day filled with of new experiences, new talents to be explored and working on things that need some improvement . A huge thank you to each one of you for taking the time and messaging me in instagram on ask if we are doing okay . 🥹😊❤️. Things had gotten really busy with the new role , pregnancy and the usual routine . Taking out time for instagram is still a question and struggle but I am working towards slowly coming back to posting , even if it’s not regular . I hope you all are doing well and in good health and spirits . Much love ! 💕

I recently received so many DM's from you guys , saying " you lost more weight and you look so amazing "
For the first time ever, this made me numb and I couldn't feel anything.
Yes , I recently lost weight, yes it looks prominent too but I didn't do it consciously and I didn't even want this to happen. Top two reasons I lost weight:
1. My ADHD medication really affects my appetite . I only feel slightly hungry before I take it ( early morning ) , after that i only start to feel hungry in the evening. I still do eat a small portion for lunch but not with heart. I do eat a pretty filling snack that's dense both nutrition wise and calories wise too. Then I eat my dinner and this had definitely created a caloric deficit because I am eating less than what I used to eat before. So isn't worth taking the meds ? For me , Yes ! They help me immensely with focus, concentration and the ability of getting tasks done.

2. Now , all my meals have a component thats more dense in calories but also dense in nutrition.

3. Secondly ,after my job started , it really keeps me very engaged for good 7-8 hours , where I am troubleshooting and hustling to provide the quality technical support and customer service . I just love it and so grateful to get to do it. This is another reason that has really removed the continuous snacking throughout the day.

You know how it is . You really feel happy about it when you have put in work and you yourself wanted it to happen. But weightloss is not what I wanted at the moment . This is not a goal i wanted because I was very much happy with 5 more kilos:). My ADHD diagnosis opened up so much more to me , about myself . Me and my psychiatrist came to decision to slightly lower down the dosage , such that the appetite is slightly better but it won't completely be back to normal. And this is something almost everyone feels , after they take stimulants for ADHD. As always, I wanted to share this with you guys and make it clear ,- as to why and how it is happening 😊

NOT EVERYONE LOSES WEIGHT CONSCIOUSLY, ALL THE TIME. THERE ARE SO MANY FACTORS, MEFICAL CONDITIONS AND MENTAL HEALTH CONDITIONS THAT CAN CAUSE WEIGHT LOSS . 🙏

Happiest birthday my heart , Khushnoor.
Thank you for making us the luckiest humans on this earth by coming into our lives 4 years ago.
Your smile , your kindness , your empathic nature , your giggles, your love and care , your brightest eyes and your sparkling personality just lights up our lives every single moment.
You taught me and made me saw the capacity with which my heart could love someone. The love that I never knew existed , the love I never knew my heart was even capable of feeling it for someone . With you growing up, I have grown up in multiple ways too , so thank you for that 🤗

I wish you nothing but good health , love, happiness, courage , strength and above all , the power of believing in yourself. I wish that you always stand up for yourself , no matter what.

Everyday when I look at her , I always say this to myself " I have a million faults in me , but maybe I had done a very good deed someday that I got her as my daughter . Grateful beyond words ". My eyes get teary as I write this message.

Also , Here's to 4 years of breastfeeding and it just blows my mind how we reached here. Grateful that I we could do it for this long ❣

Change is hard !
Change also opens up new opportunities!
Change tells us more of what are capable of !

One month into starting a full time job role , I can swear on these lines.
As I neared my joining date , I used to have so much anxiety every night. How will I manage everything?
How will I manage my workouts at thr gym?
How will I make sure that my vjokd is getting enough time?
How will we manage when khushu will be sick and we both will be working from home ?
How will I manage simrtlifts ?
How will this big change impact my family ?

I had a million questions but I can vouch for the fact that with each passing week , I slowly started to ( won't say surely started getting the answers ) see new perspectives towards these questions . I slowly started to see how much more I can do , the smallest steps we as a family can take to make things more manageable for all three.

If you're someone sailing in the same boat , hang in there . You will slowly start to find your pace . I promise! In the beginning you will wonder why did you even do this, you might cry too ( I do multiple times) but just promise it will be so much worth it. I also have to admit that asking for help and diving tasks between you and your partner is such a big tool in getting things done without simply losing your mind and going crazy.

I am still lacking with finding the time that I want to dedicate to IG and creating content but I know I will figure that out soon too. ✌

I can say that now , it will only start to get better and better. 🙏

Here's wishing you all a smashing week ahead. 💗
