My workouts have been pretty sporadic these past couple days. That is why I have not been posting. Here is my short workout I did today. Very simple but my shoulders were shaking at the end.
All done with 26 pounder kettlebells
Suitcase Deadlift 12 x 3
KB Push Ups 10 x 3 (barely made it to 10)
Snatches 10 on each side x 3 (feeling the forearms swell)
Rest and repeated 3 times. Pretty tired after that but I managed to get through this next sequence. Baby started crying towards the end so I did not get a chance to do more.
Squat and Press 5 on each side x 3
Swings 20 x 3
Now I can empathize with my clients about how the forearms get a bit tender. I guess I am just not use to having the kettlebell rest on my arm like that. I remember I built up a little tolerance several years ago. So I guess I have to do that again. Even though I felt my form was better than average. I do feel stronger. I can now use the 12kg with most of the exercises which feels good!
My weight has been bouncing between 116-118 depending on if I just breastfed or how much water I have in my body.

Sounds like you are getting back your body!
Your workouts look great, a great base. I used to throw 20 min. swing WO's w/8kg transfers, 1 min. on 1 min. rest (40 reps), in my kitchen between doing dishes! My cats thought I was crazy!
My pre-pregnancy weight was mostly around 112-115. I also had more muscle then too. I would say my goal weight is around 112. But I am more in to looking lean and being strong then what the scale says. We all know that muscle weighs more than fat. So if I gain more muscle back this time and stay in a slghtly higher weight category, I will still be content!
Your kitchen workout sounds fun! You should film that sometime.
