COME OOOONNNN!!!

COME OOOONNNN!!! 

#MommyChronicles

I had my baby almost 5 months ago now, why aren't I back to my pre baby weight??? Well let me tell you why, cause I've been lazy that's why!!! I have access to everything I could possibly need and I just won't get off my ass to do what needs to be done.
Here's a shoot I did, of when i was 9 months pregnant and I really don't think I've taken that many afterwards, they're always face shots, or Alexander is covering my body

So I gained weight, but it wasn't astronomical, why haven't I lost the weight? I have many plenty excuses... 

I'm sick and tired of having to wear "the girdle" they come in all different shapes and sizes, and bottom line is after a while its uncomfortable and most of them hurt. So here's, what I tried,

~ I did one day of Zumba, Zumba Fitness Nigeria which was exhilarating and but i just didn't go           back, down side is that i don't like working out in front of other people
~ I got a hip hop blast DVD, but I realized that i was having to pay more attention to figuring out the      dance moves than actually benefiting from the essence of the exercise.
~ I have the Tracy Anderson Method, if I actually stuck this one out then I'd be perfect, and besides,    unless I wake up very early, I don't have a moment to myself
~ Oh and I got a trainer, Trainer 1 i started sweating immediately, but this guy isn't big on form so I      had an injury after the third session. Stopped that promptly
~ Then I got another trainer,Trainer 2 and honestly this guy is really good, talks you through each        exercise, makes sure that you feel the stretch or exercise in the exact area you're supposed to feel it,    is starting me of slow so as to build my core back up and not shock my system, but guess what I did    I had 2 sessions with him and then cancelled the third one. Whats that about???? Say it with me...        Laziness
~ Oh and to top it off I have a fully equipped gym downstairs with a pool, f...ing Ridiculous.

Whats brought this on, you ask? I've joined a group of women, we've all had babies and we're supporting and competing with each other, emphasis on the support to lose weight and to hit our predetermined targets. Some of the ladies are doing really well, whilst some like me are doing woefully.

So here's what happened, i weighed myself yesterday when I was at my in laws,  and was very excited when I saw that I had lost 3kgs. Considering that I hadn't done Jack!!!! My MIL said to me  'Weldone, but please check again cause I pulled some paper thing out of the scale so i think it might have affected it, the one thing i like to do is to not fool myself and work with facts.'

Almost didn't listen but it was niggling at me, after we got home from a day of gorgeous cuisine at theirs and then taking a spin down to the Boat Club and back to pick up some chicken suya, I decided to go down to the gym to weigh myself, now this one was a new scale and electronic for that matter, the other one was an analog dial type scale.

I got on 3 times, 3 times, can you just imagine I've only lost half a freaking kilo!!!! I'm so mad , and I have nobody to be mad with or blame apart from myself.

So today is Monday! I'm doing it and I'm sticking to it, my life depends on it and my career will die if I don't getup off my ass. I'm going back to Zumba, and that trainer, Trainer 2 is coming back 3 times a week.

Food intake, I'm clean eating, doing a lot of soups and smoothies, green smoothies. As I'm typing this Alexander is about to wake up, I haven't had a drop to drink or eat and its 7.39 am October 6th, 2014. Amaka (she introduced me into the group, Yummy Mummy Snap Back) has advised its 80% food and 20% exercise. I'll keep you posted, wish me luck cause I'm going to need it.

He's Up, I've gotta go! Have a Divalous day my darlings!!! xxx
