Summer of abs is leading to some "complications" as I start to realise the more fat I remove from my core the more loose skin I get 🙃

It will be fine.

Tomorrow is the 8th Weekly #ShelterinPlaceFamily5k! This week, we decided to donate blood instead of money, so any bets already placed will be moved to next week. And, to celebrate our anniversary, it’s a head-to-head battle for King/Queen of the house. #family5k #stillshelteringinplace #queenofthehouse #donateblood #donatebloodsavelives #funraising #motherrunner #anniversarybattle #mummytummy #squishystomach https://www.instagram.com/p/CAhBDw0hb3b/?igshid=11v6ufx6213u6

You know that moment when you have a post to put out but then it just doesn’t happen until this time of day, that’s a sign that as an entrepreneur every sec counts. This was me earlier today and I feel so sore. A challenge for you- 5 rounds, 30secs each with 30secs rest after each round. let your legs thank me later 💪🏽. I had my 4 kids pretty much back to back, it felt like I was pregnant every year, actually that was the case 😳😳 and I sure have my tummy to show for it. I work to stay healthy, I wake up every morning and I see changes that motivate me to go on. But yes my certificate is still there, I can see my abs which shows me I’ve made great progress but still a work in progress. I have learnt to love my body and love me enough to love my mummy tummy which I promise you will take complete shape at some point. Let’s stop fussing about how other people look, clothe and dress your body beautifully well. Keep it healthy and change will come in due time. We have not all been created to snap back so quickly, some will in a short period of time while others will take longer. But for whatever category you find yourself in, just embrace the progress, be patient with yourself and your journey, love your story and be better for it. 4 children in less than 5years 😳😳😳, I look good for it. I say so 💃🏻💃🏻 #mummytummy #momof4 #19monthspostpartum #entrepreneur #momlife #fitmom #noexcuses🚫 #lovingmybody #embracingmybody #iseechange #consistency #determination #stayfit #stayfocused #instafit #fitmomofig #fitnessmotivation #fitness

Now that the kiddo is 6 weeks, I’m cleared for exercise. But, I know I can’t just jump right into training and have any hopes of being successful. Now’s the time to lay a strong foundation, starting with my own foundation. I’m thankful to have @bebephysicaltherapy nearby, specialists in pelvic floor rehab and postnatal strengthening. We’re starting from scratch, taping my DRA (Diastasis recti abdominus, separated ab muscles) and doing breathing and bracing exercises to coordinate lower abs, pelvic floor and breath. Starting this slowly can be frustrating, but I’m focused on long term health, not short term gainz! I gotta believe it’ll be worth it. #postnatal #postpartum #diastasisrecti #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy #professionaltriathlete #trimom #momswhotri #womenfortri #comeback #gainz #mummytummy (at Bebé PT) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9IF09zhSDG/?igshid=1nj9pbl4yosk4

Training is on for this Saturday’s second weekly #shelterinplacefamily5k. @artiejohann trained in secret at 6am and I snuck it in before lunch. A big part of run training is trying to get my ab muscles to learn to work again. I don’t love posting pics of my #mummytummy but everyone who’s had a baby knows what I mean! This edition of DRA is going to take longer to get back to “normal” than the first time around for sure, but we’ll get there. #dra #diastasisrecti #postpartum #postpartumbody #trimom #motherrunner #paincave #shelterinplace #stayhome #carlyvsartie #5k https://www.instagram.com/p/B-p2jkaBMqi/?igshid=650qcu4eru2c

Got my power hour done early today with the Zwift duathlon series. It may be 70 and sunny outside, but here I am taking advantage of a perfectly timed baby nap in the garage! It’s a bike/run extravaganza that almost makes me feel like a multisport athlete again! 35 minute bike, transition to 15 minute run, both just to go as far as you can in time allotted. #babynap #duathlon #zwiftduathlonleague #gozwift #mummytummy #diastasisrecti #protriathlete #promom (at Zwift Watopia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CLsM49kBOnN/?igshid=1d33yzric82x2

It's easy to lie to yourself. To avoid cameras, old photos, mirrors. But today I had one of those arresting moments when you just have to face up to yourself and be honest.

Six weeks postpartum after giving birth to our second gorgeous tiny human and I can't get my wedding ring past the second knuckle. It didn't help that my husband had brought it down from its storage place and playfully slipped it on my finger as though it were our wedding day again.

Oh dear. How things have changed since then. How I have.

I'll be honest, I've let myself go - it's easily done through the course of two pregnancies and three lockdowns. The last time my husband called me beautiful was a couple of days ago when he was showing our son old photos of our days before kids: "Look at that beautiful lady - that was your Mummy." He used to call me beautiful all the time back then.

He didn't mean for that comment to hurt, but it reflected how I've been feeling for a while - I'm not the person I once was. So, I've decided to take the proverbial elephant by the tusks and try my best to shed some of this physical and emotional baggage. I've started this blog to motivate myself and keep track of my progress as I set out on this adventure... and maybe even inspire others in some distant future when I've reached my destination (yet to be announced)? Wish me luck...
