Update 2, Round 2!

Not been my best week for dieting LOL! And I have done NO yoga. The infection in my incision flared up again but after a quick trip to my wonderful doctor it is all under control again. I am planning on doing some yoga today.

Weigh in on Friday!!!

Happy Blitzing!

BELLY BLITZ IS BACK!!!!!

I apologise for neglecting my blog but life has been a little hectic!

Iona Sandrine Hay was born at 0049 on October 25th weighing a whopping 5lbs10oz! She was 3 weeks early. This is my last belly shot at 37 weeks:


And my wee angel:



She was still Frank Breech so had to come out the sunroof. I went into labour on my  own and progressed so quickly it was straight into the OR and out she came! This was 3 weeks ago and as I had a C Section exercise has been a big NO NO. I haven't even been watching what I eat AT ALL as have had my parents here but regardless in the last 3 weeks I have lost 16lbs/7kg. I only put on 36lbs this time round which is a HUGE improvement on last time!

Weighing in today at 72.3kg or 160lbs. I haven't found my tape measure to take measurements but starting today I will be calorie counting and perhaps doing some gentle yoga daily until I get the all clear from the doctor to begin working out.

As I currently have a sedentary lifestyle as I am not yet working out my recommended calorie intake is 1,200 a day. As I am breastfeeding I add 400cals onto the top of that so I will be consuming 1,600cals a day.

If you remember from the first time I lost the baby weight with Callum this is not an exact science and may take some weekly tweaking to find the right calorie intake for me to lose weight but keep up milk production. I may need to increase this if my milk starts to suffer.

So this is the only picture I can find, this was taken a week to 10 days ago but will do for a guide:

I will be doing multiple updates weekly and Friday mornings will be my stats and weigh ins. Remember, this is all achieved with NO gyms, no trainers, no gimmicks and no strict regimes. Just motivation, perseverance, healthy eating and a little sparkle!

Happy Blitzing!
