Losing Baby Weight and Still Enjoying Life

Pregnant with my first child I unfortunately became lazy and put on 20kg. I was the heaviest I have ever been in my life. Weighing in at 85kg after having my daughter, I felt horrible. I was tired all the time and the heat of summer was getting to me but I didn't feel comfortable going for swim. I was embarrassed.

I decided to do something about it so I joined a gym. The best decision of my life. I started training twice a week doing pump classes and walking everyday. I started to have more energy and sleeping better. Then I tried body attack classes and I was hooked.

It took at least 3 months to see any results on the scales but my clothes were becoming looser. Then the weight started falling off.Then I broke my leg but that didn't stop me. I hired a trainer and continued training with my moonboot as there was no way I was going to go backwards after losing 10kg . Now I have lost 19kg and I am down to my goal weight of 66 kg I feel fit, strong and I am back into my pre baby clothes.

I didn't want to go on some crash diet because I knew it would be something I wouldn't be able to maintain .We generally eat well. Fresh and I reduced my portion sizes and stopped having morning tea and afternoon tea with sweet things. I basically cut out all sweets. Bu I do enjoy a drink at night so I wasn't going to give that up. I wanted to lose weight but still enjoy life. Everyone knows that wines is what keeps mothers sane at the end of the day :)

So basically I am getting married in May and I have managed to reach my goals while still enjoying life and not going on some crazy diet. We are planning to have another baby after the wedding and I will continue to train the whole way through my pregnancy as long as everything is healthy and well.
