A great post @healthymumma_2 ......*pic was a bit before my surgery... I really started getting serious about exercising just before I fell pregnant with Charlotte over 12 months ago.. all home workouts, whenever time permits and with what I had. I had (and still have) a cheap basic weights set, but all I needed was will power and determination. I gave it my all, I had fun and I felt amazing and that's all that I needed. It doesn't need to be fancy, you don't need a expensive gym membership. You just need to wake up and say "I've got this" and just do it. Just last month I was fortunate to win a 12month @ymcavictoria membership which I use daily now but before this I had nothing but motivation and determination... you can do anything you put your mind to, and you know it!
