Putting down the chocolate…
Yesterday was on of the days where I get all ahead of myself and start a conversation in my head that consists of… You will use Myfitnesspal and do couch 2 5k… Funnily enough I have had this chat about 1000000000 times recurring.
Do I stick to it? Well do I look like Davina McCall or Jennifer Aniston yet? Nope!!!! I still have wobbly bits and look like a mum! This is not a bad thing by any stretch of the imagination but I want to be a slightly more toned and out of everything more healthy so I can live a long life with my baby girl.
I am not fat, nor have I ever been fat- I put on more weight than I wanted to in pregnancy purely by eating rubbish and lots of it! Before I had Erin I was 8stone and I now fluctuate between 9.5 and 9 stone and I would like to be more toned and more around the 8.10/8.12 mark (just for a physiological aspect!) I know that’s weird but it makes me feel better!!
The way I decided to do this was to just include more exercise and cut out “full fat” Coke. As for those who know me well know that when I try and diet I fall of the wagon spectacularly!!
This is when I decided for the 50th time to start Couch to 5k- I have started it so many times before and only ever got to week two! I need some encouragement to tell me it really works guys!! I will keep you updated!
I’m exactly the same. Never really had to diet before having kids and ate loads of crap in two pregnancies. Sleep deprivation and lack of motivation keeps ruining my plans. I’m starting again next week after being fed up of. O thing fitting and not liking myself in anything I try on in the shops. I lost all my pregnancy weight first time around by dieting not religiously but by using MyFitnessPal during the week and by going to the gym 3 times a week doing full on interval cardio and resistance (HIIT). So I KNOW it works. Just got to stick with a plan and go for it. And believe in the process. Good luck mama!
Thank you! i need some motivation right now! xx
