And yes, the jeans fit! There were
celebrations in our house recently when my weekly attempt to squeeze into my
pre-pregnancy jeans surprisingly didn’t end in its usual whimper. They are a
little snug but more than comfortable and the biggest surprise was that they
fit in a week that I had actually gained weight. Not sure how that is possible
but I am pleased to say I’ve since lost that little extra and an incey bit more
leaving me with 7.5 of the 10kg to go.
A self-congratulatory pat on the back for me. Here's a reminder of what we're coming back from.
Following my last post on shedding the
kilos, a friend introduced me to the seven minute workout. Let’s just call it
the six and a half minute workout because on what planet someone expects me to
be able to do a side plank I do not know. It’s only 30 seconds per exercise
(supposed to be done at high energy) and you would be surprised just how long
30 seconds can actually last. So I’ve only done it twice because the effort to
get into my gym clothes takes at least another seven minutes. This is the
challenge of the breastfeeding mother – how to do exercise when you are weighed
down and puffed up with all that milk? I nearly suffocated myself trying to
squeeze into my gym top. Not actually kidding.
I am the kind of person that needs to
constantly invent little games or tricks to keep myself motivated so I will now
embark on the monthly challenge. It’s currently fizz-free February meaning no
soft drinks or even alcohol free beer – anything with the fizz is out. It will
be a Munchie-Free March which will be my hardest challenge given my penchant
for all things sweet and choclately and all this will lead up to Active April. Anyone
wanting to join me in this madness, please do!
