On a mission.

So baby Balladon was born six weeks ago which meeeeeans I just had my six week check up!  I’m pleased to say that it all went well and baby and I are doing just fine.  I got the all clear and I’m very happy to finally be able to get moving!

photo-8The summer season is on its way (hopefully) and I’m planning on doing what I usually do best.. live in a bikini!  And of course there will be Ladies Mornings, Girls Days and a few competitions as well!  SO, I need to get fit and into shape.

I started this morning with a nice long yoga session followed by a workout.  Alongside the home workouts, I’ll be wakeboarding and training with Kurup Fit as much as possible.  Its going to be tough but I’m determined to do it!  To be continued..

Feeling Good!

Water: Sounds stupid or obvious but labour really messes up your body!  I’m not going into detail but you need fluids, lots of them..

Sleep: Actually I’m not sure why I’ve put this because sleep’s the last thing I get.

Make-up: Its like a mask.  Amazing stuff.  When I’ve had no sleep and needed to leave the house, make-up is my savour.

Moisturiser: The body doesn’t just go back to pre pregnancy shape over night… it needs love, well mine does, and I choose to pamper it with coco butter; loads of it!

Shopping: I am so sick of my maternity clothing!!  As soon as possible I hit the shops to purchase a few items to make me feel a little special.

Hair: Gone are the days of long relaxing showers (only for now, I hope) I am definitely appreciating washing my hair now, feels amazing!

Nails: If I have five minutes to spare I quickly paint my nails as it makes me feel instantly more glam!
