Gosh I have to lose weight.. But how to get the motivation and discipline right now. I need a pep…

Feeling the same way. I really need to tone my muscles. My bum, thighs and stomach are flabby and gross and I hate it. ☹ feeling pretty miserable about it!!

Ohh same I'm in the same boat :(

I also, have zero motivation though. And gym memberships are expensive haha

I'm a qualified personal trainer too. I'm just too far off the rails at the moment! I've got 10kg to lose and heaps of muscle to gain back! @steph194

Really? That makes me feel a little more human, I feel I should be exercising but I don't know where to start ☹

Yeah I know how to do it, it's just been so long coz I was sick for so long in the pregnancy I got out of my good habits and now it's tough to get back into it. Well I have started something. I've got remmer in a routine now so I do a 45 minute walk with him in the pram while he sleeps. I feel really good for doing it but now I need to slowly add more into the week and somehow take better care of my diet. You have your hands full. Is Eli home with you every day?

@steph194,

My eating habits are embarrassing haha, yeah he's home every day. I could walk of an afternoon but I don't trust the area enough to go without hubby and he's always working, it's a vicious cycle.

Okay then well my suggestion would be to start to do some basic exercises at home, you could do it holding Emma, squats and lunges would be a good start each day. Do you get a period in the day where both are having a sleep?

@steph194,

And diet is pretty much key.. Which is hard lol but if you need help I can offer suggestions @steph194

Around midday Eli goes down and if Emma is cooperating she sleeps then too,

Then I catch up on house work. I did have salmon fillets for dinner last night, so that's a start, right haha, I could eat that all day. Haha.

Good job! That is good! I had a tin of tuna and 15 almonds for dinner tonight (so hate cooking) and I say I can help you while I sit here munching on my 7th lactating cookie for the day 😂 when they have their midday sleep you could try to do a 5 min workout. Doesn't seem like much but 5 mins of jumping around will make a difference if you do it every day

@steph194,

I haven't even had the energy to make lactation cookies! Haha, I have started to eat oats though.

@steph194, oats are good. The cookies are so easy I make at least one batch a week. Mostly coz I can just grab one when I'm hungry. I've pre making breakfast burritos and freezing them. They are so good!! I put egg, spinach feta capsicum and prosciutto in them. Makes my mornings a bit more exciting

You're rocking it, I'm lucky to get. Cold toast before 10am some mornings at the moment, haha. I want to start making bulk meals and freezing them but can't until we get a new chest freezer.

@steph194, yeah it's a good idea. I think unless I pre make meals healthy ones just aren't going to happen.
