I put on a lot of weight during my 2 pregnancies. When I got pregnant with my first I was about 54kg (I am 5ft 6). I didn't need to do anything to maintain that. By the time I got pregnancy again 2 years later I was 68kg. Lots of cake and I started drinking tea with milk and sugar which I think just added loads of calories into my diet.
I've slowly dropped weight naturally and am at about 62kg. I still feel a bit uncomfortable in my skin - I just feel heavy and I am holding too much around my waist. I think another 2-3kg would be a good amount to shed to be healthy but also happy.
I've never exercised and am struggling to get a routine in with a job, 2 small kids and general life. I know where my calories come from - it's definitely wine! Now my youngest is almost 4 I've started going out more, catching up with friends etc... so my alcohol consumption is probably 3-4 glasses a week at the moment. It's not something I'm willing to cut (the socialising) but I guess I should think about drinking something else?
I'm off on a big holiday in August and want to feel confident but I could use some tips / accountability to nail this. Time is definitely a big deal - I have to commute to London regularly (2 hours one way) and a 4 and 6 year old just take up time!!
How do you all manage it?
