To begin with I'd like to introduce you all to my beautiful baby boy Joey who I gave birth to just little over 7 weeks ago!
He's perfect and I couldn't be happier with our newest member of the family
I did not post as much as I had anticipated while pregnant, due to exhaustion of running a busy home while working and taking care of a toddler. I enjoyed the relaxation of having a break from work towards the end and getting to spend quality time with my now 2 year old daughter.
I had an extremely good pregnancy, sickness subsided after the first 12 weeks and I did not gain as much weight as I did on my first! I had an exceptionally good labour, only going 1 day over my due date. I had a natural labour with only the help of 2 paracetamol and gas & air *pat on the back*-and my little man didn't keep me waiting when he was born just 45 Min's in the delivery suite.
I have been enjoying the last few weeks but now I feel it's time to start getting back on track with my plan of getting in shape..again!
I breastfed for almost 4 weeks - I decided to give up when I was admitted to hospital after getting mastitis for the second time. I felt like I was a lot thinner while breastfeeding but now that I have given it up I just feel constantly bloated and much heavier. I have decided to cut out all junk food which I was craving while breastfeeding.
I started drinking green tea to detox just 4 days ago and I can feel the difference already! The bloating has stopped and I have a lot more energy which I am taking advantage of, going for a walk in the evenings for an hour. I am also joining the one on one diet plan this Tuesday. My mother has lost half a stone on the plan in just over a month! I know that Weight Watchers does work so I am not ruling it out, I just want to try something different this time.
I will post next week when I am joined and on my new healthy eating plan :)
Regards,
Naoimh
