Ooooh, lasty, that sounds divine. Congratulations on the new job!
BOOP, wear the bikini! I wore a series of carefully chosen bikinis last year at 10 stone 3 (6lbs over a healthy BMI) after 3 babies, 2 CS and muchos stretchmarks. You are only 2lbs over a healthy BMI so there will be no issue - and I expect your tummy looks better than mine!
Arsey, one of my major grumps at the moment is that it is bloody hard to fit in sufficient exercise around work and small children. I don't lose anything much at all without exercise and it drives me mad, because although I actually like exercise, I struggle to find a good slot for it. Ignore children when I come home at 6.15pm and do a DVD? Put children to bed at 7.30ish, spend 45 minutes trying to get them both to shut up and stay in their bedrooms and then exercise? Have dinner at about 9pm? I can't do it - the whole bedtime routine makes me stabby as it is (because DS is being a 2yo horror demanding 19 toys that you can't locate to take to bed, and DD keeps coming back through for spurious reasons after being put to bed) without factoring in being hungry/trying to get on with exercise. Eat when I get in, then do bedtime, then try to motivate myself to start exercising at about 8pm? What do you all do? I need to leave by 6.45am to be on time - is the answer to get up at 5 and exercise then?
