MyFitnessPal

I have started using this app again. The last couple of times I used it, several years ago, I became quite obsessed with calorie counting so I'm going to pull the plug as soon it starts happening again.

It's been about a week since my healthy eating resolution and it's been going mostly well. I haven't had any snacks in-between my main meals for about three days and I'm getting used to not having convenient and sugar-filled treats on demand.

I really ought to take a picture of how I look like, and I can hopefully track improvements along the way.

I didn't go for any walks today since the weather has been dreadful, I can hopefully rectify this situation tomorrow...

Return of the blob

So much time ha passed!

I got married, I got a dog, and last but not least I have a 5 month old baby :-)

Motherhood is so incredibly hard, nothing compares to the amount of energy, patience and tolerance to sleep deprivation that you go through every single day.

But my baby is great, every day he learns something new and we just adore him.

Back to the purpose of this blog though... I loved being pregnant, but my weight has ballooned and I need serious motivation to get back into shape.

My labour was horrendous and I've had back problems ever since, which has limited my mobility. It's getting better, but I'm sure losing a bit of weight would speed my recovery.

I don't know how much I weigh exactly, but I still have a considerable protruding stomach and everything is extremely blobbish.

I weighted a gigantic 75 kg 6 weeks after giving birth, and I'm certain I still weigh the same.

These last few days I've been making an effort to eat no rubbish, not snack and eat as healthily as I can. Looking after a baby is extremely hard work and I have no "me" time, but I can still go for walks and try to stay active without the need to go to the gym.

We'll see how it goes!
