E is for ...

Life is a one big blur/whirlwind of milk bottles and dirty nappies and now it's been a good 4 months since giving birth I  no longer have the excuse of I just had a baby so I've added the dreaded E word into my life. Exercise! The thought of it fills me with despair and disgust. Despair cause I am too damn tired from taking care of Hunter, obsessively cleaning my house and trying to solve World Peace. Disgust because I really don't want to get sweaty, I'd rather have a kitkat. Some women just bounce back to normal size after having a baby (hate them, secretly jealous). 

In terms of weight pregnancy was quite kind to me I lost 20lbs in the 1st 5 months due to morning sickness and even by the end of pregnancy I still hadn't gained it all back. So yay to being pre baby weight after delivery but noooo to whatever this body shape I'm left with. No one told me I could be the same size but my clothes wouldn't fit like they used to!! My belly feels and looks like a balloon that's been blown up and deflated a couple of times. I feel like that too ha ha. I know I didn't have a supermodel body before but in car terms I'd think I wasn't a sleek Porshe or Ferrari more a sturdy reliable spacious Vauxhall Zafira now I'm a beat up battered old  taxi cab with bags under my eyes. So with a wedding coming up in May and wanting to be fit, healthy and able to run around after our little man the hubby and I are on diets no scratch that 'lifestyle change' (eye roll). We still eat what we want but within our daily calorie allowance. I must admit I can feel the difference drinking a litre of water every day has made. I struggled at 1st because water tastes so awful but now I just gulp it down for the greater good. I'm going to get a cross trainer at home so I can exercise watch tv and be with Hunter all at the same time. I'm sure he'll have a right good laugh at my expense as I'm huffing and puffing on the machine.
