Well I have 6 weeks to go until I have my first baby. I can’t wait to meet her firstly and secondly am quite looking forward to the challenge of getting back into shape. my due date is 24th may and I plan to compete (body building) on the 26th July, I know its impossible to get my body back in less than two months (that’s if she is on time) but my aim is to qualify for the finals which I should be in good shape for, well that is if all goes to plan as it only leaves me 4 month, but as I said I like the challenge. I have put off having a baby because I have always loved my figure and loved my business, so when I finally did take the jump I knew the hardest part for me would be the body changes. I have had a six pack since late teens and that was the first thing to go at 4.5 months, how ever I didn’t start to look pregnant till about 6.5 months and this was the hardest bit as I looked like I had just put on weight. It’s not as bad now as people at least know I a pregnant, but I do long for my body back. I have kept very active through out my pregnancy with 2 PT sessions a week, 4 aerobics classes, 3 gym session, teaching pole dancing twice a week, yoga once a week and a bike ride to the pub(my boyfriends drinking not me...god I could murder a gin and tonic). I feel great and don’t see my self slowing down. Obviously my weights and impact have been reduced and I am on 6 instead of 14 on the stair master. Half the time I forget I am pregnant. I have never had to shift weight before so I am very apprehensive about doing so, I have to balance it between eating healthy as I hope to breast feed for as long as I can and getting shot of the baby weight. I still have arm and back definition, but my fat storage as always has gone to my butt and thighs so this is going to be the hardest to shift. I have eaten exactly what I wanted though so that would explain it.
Wish me luck!!
