My boy turns 3 today 🖤
And if there’s one thing I’ve learnt, it’s that postpartum, weight loss and changing your habits all take TIME.
Here’s just a little snippet of what the last few years have looked like for me.
I think as a mum it’s so easy to lose yourself between kids, work, being busy and constantly putting everyone else first. But no matter how hard it got, I never gave in.
It took a lot of time, consistency and graft, but I got to where I am because I never gave up.
I was training before I even fell pregnant with Rio, carried on training right up until 39 weeks pregnant and returned to training 8 weeks after having him.
I had 2 kids 18 months apart and after struggling with being overweight, my body will never be “perfect” — it has scars, stretch marks and signs of everything it’s been through, but that’s what makes me me.
I once heard flamingos can lose their pink after having babies because they give so much of themselves… but they get it back. And honestly, I think mums do too 🖤
How amazing are women’s bodies to create life, carry babies, recover and still keep going through all of that.
I prioritised my steps, walked everywhere pushing my double buggy, got myself into the gym whenever I could and focused on eating healthier.
Not because I wanted perfection, but because I wanted to feel better in myself.
And honestly? I’m a better mum for it. Stronger mentally, physically and happier within myself.
So here’s to my kids… because really, they’re the reason I do it all 🖤
