This entry is going to deviate from the norm.
So, seriously, someone should write in ALL pregnancy books 'What to expect AFTER you have kids'.
My body has somehow changed to what it wasn't like before. To quote a dear friend during a lunch meet last week, she said that whenever she looks at herself in the mirror, there's the greatest urge to 'bish' herself. Well, the same goes here.
I seriously dread looking at myself in the mirror, with clothes or without! There are bulges every where, loose skin, wobbly bits and the worst of the lot? My south-going boobs!!! No one ever told me before I had children that after you stop breastfeeding, your precious orbs go south! I can't 'encourage' ;) it to come back up north. It simply follows gravity and heads where I hate it to. If anyone knows of some exercises where I can get them back nice and perky, pleasssse, I implore you, do share!
Though I know that I ought to exercise and exercise caution to the amount of food I take and the kinds of food I eat, it is no doubt a difficult task. Reducing the amount of food, I can. Exercising has gotten me though. With three kids to handle, I simply do not have the time to go to the gym or go running with GG like I previously could. So the plan now is to resume my gym workout, but we'll just have to bring the boy along with us. We plan to exercise, and he'll stay at the sitting area to play with the cars/trains or read. Someone ought to run a gym place with some kids' corner. That'll be a hit with parents who are hardpressed to find time to go exercise.
So for now, I'll just try to eat less and exercise by lifting the kids and running after them in the park (weather permitting) or pay good money to 'exercise' with them at Fidgets.
By the way Jaime, I'll be trying extremely hard to show as much perseverance as you have! :)

ya lah! the kids really take away all our energy and time! i don't need to have lots of the spare time that i used to have to go do pedi/mani/spa/shopping etc. i just need decent time for myself to exercise and get back in shape. for something so simple, i can't even find the time.
you are bfg mah. so definitely will be hungry. and anyway, since when did you need to diet? you hardly look like someone who has two kids...

hey average Joan,
