My second week and things are getting better, it feels so good to have a goal and making an effort to work out again.
Weight: 70.6kg DOWN 0.6KG so it IS coming down!
No change on the rest of the stats but it has only been a week and it will come down. I am taking it slower this time round due to the septic arthritis but it WILL all come off. So far this week I have been riding for an hour and had a 30min work out on the cross trainer (elliptical) and some strength training. The only way is up from here!
I have LOADS of new moves to share with you all so when the kids are asleep I will get blogging!
HAPPY BLITZING!

ENOUGH is enough!
I am giving myself a MAJOR butt kick! Arthritis or no arthritis, I need to get fit again and reclaim my body!
I may be left with arthritis forever but hoping not. Won't know for a while yet so I am not going to let it hold me back. I am SUPER fed up of not being able to run as that was always my go to work out as I can take the kids with me. SOOOOO...we treated our selves to an elliptical trainer this weekend...low impact cardio so it is easy on my joints and I can do it with the kids running around.
This morning I have taken measurements and done a basic 30mins strength work out (still waiting for Scotty to put the elliptical together)
So...as embarrassing as this may be here they are:
weight: 71.5kg I WILL BE 68kg by the end of February!
hips: 41.5inches
bust: 37inches
waist: 32inches
I am ordering a new heart rate monitor today as I really find that helps and am going to be stricter with what I am eating as to be honest I have been very lazy.
So....weigh in and stats every Monday and I will post workout progress through out the week!
HAPPY BLITZING!!!

Infections, arthritis and hospitals
Hello blitzers. Yet another apology for not updating my blog but I have a VERY good excuse....
My Csection incision was infected but deep down so you couldn't actually tell. To cut a LONG story short, over a period of a week I went from normal Amy, but a little sore, to not being able to walk or move, a temperature of 40deg and a heart rate of 140bpm. The infection had been running rampant for over 4 weeks, attacking my muscles and joints and as a result I also have Septic Arthritis.
A 10 day hospital stay, a further week of IV antibiotics at an IV clinic and another 2 weeks of oral antibiotics! Unfortunately I will have the arthritis for 6 to 9 months so my training regime is on the back burner.
I am still calorie counting and I will slowly be getting back into walking and yoga etc as my doctor says I can but it has been a very scary few weeks. When I can walk with no pain I may start blitzing again!!!
In the meant time I WILL post diet information etc but the belly blitzing will wait till at least January when i see my internal medicine specialist again.
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!

33weeks 2 days
Yesterday was the Circle F poker ride/walk. I was going to walk in it with Callum but I ended up riding...was SUCH a gorgeous day and Ibble is well and truly staying put for now so I thought why the heck not!
And here is a pic from today. I don't think my belly looks any bigger than it did at 30 weeks! I hope she is growing. I have a docs appointment on Tuesday and a scan next week. If she is still breech then having a manual version in about 2 weeks. Chiro 3 times this week to try and get this baby to TURN!
I have been having SOOO many cravings, if you can call it that, maybe urges is a better word, to go for a run. I haven't tried for a while and I am not sure I will but I can't WAIT till Ibble is born and I can get on my road bike for a good ride and go for a good run too. Not long now!!!

Slacking!!!!! 33 weeks tomorrow!
Where has the time gone?! My last post was at 21 weeks, that was 12 weeks ago, what on earth have I been doing???
Well, recently, little Ibble has been giving me som grief, she is breech and has been since 20 weeks. Her head is stuck up one side of the bi-cornuate and her feet are on the other. Causing a few problems shall we say! I am have some chiro treatments to try and get her to turn and have a version booked if she doesn't SCARY!
Weight gain...I don't feel as big this time round as I did with Callum. I stopped running at 26/27 weeks and I haven't ridden for about 2 weeks. I've put on about 28lbs so far which is within guidelines though towards the top end. The thing that I HATE is my legs have gone to jelly with the lack of exercise. I am doing yoga and walking but it isn't the same as running/riding/cycling/swimming etc.
So keep watching and come and join me soon in blitzing the baby belly...again!
HAPPY BLITZING!
