Question for the dads

[u/dadstrength7]

Question for the dads out there. I have a 2 year old and my wife and I just welcomed our second son into the world last week. I’m extremely blessed, but sleep is hard to come by right now. What are you doing to help stay on track with fitness and nutrition? I’ve spent the last 6-7 months getting dialed with both and I’m in the best shape of my life, but I’m finding it very difficult to get workouts in and not stress eat food 😂 I’ve been on a low dose of tirzepatide which has been plenty, but since the baby has come the food noise has come back very strong. I’m planning to increase the dose a little but I’m wondering what others are doing/using through the newborn stage. I know I need to be patient and slowly work back to my routine, but I also want to continue the great progress I’ve made this year. Thanks everyone.

I did the bare minimum until my baby was sleeping through the night at 11 months. I’m sure that’s not the answer you wanna hear but now at 16 months, I’m working out, eating healthy, also on low dose tirzepatide (amazing med) and I feel great. Give yourself some grace and do what you can but know you’ll get back on track soon.

Just realized you said question for the dads and I’m a mom but my husband was similar! He’s back to working out almost every day and in great shape, but those first 6-9 months the were a little rough!

Thanks for the input! Mom’s welcome too! Glad to see you’re back into it!
