"Oh you're glowing!!!! Pregnancy suits you!"
Putting on weight during your pregnancy is inevitable... But you have to.... have to control it.
Easier said than done .. I know. I was so not a sweet tooth person in fact I loved the spicy taste and would generally avoid meetha post meals....
.......................................................until that blasted eighth month.... from then on it was ALL about sweet cravings.... I felt like I was in the only one in the world who had earned her cadbury bournville and now I must finish them all!!!
It started with just one square post meals to two and next thing you know I was finishing bars in between meals...... aaaarrrrggghhhh!!! and to top it all a friend introduced me to this amazing chocolate place in Jaipur where you get super yummy chocolate waffles... oh man I was in trouble!!!
So ok.... as a preggie I get allowances .. but like I said post that what... its been two and a half months since the little one and now I'm still having that one square post meals....
Exercising was never my thing.... I hated the gym then and I hate it now. I have never been one for fad diets I don't think they work.... So what I am doing is something small but hopefully it helps.... Walking and stretching.... I'm not consistent... I almost always have an excuse but since Aadi gives me company I don't get away with it most of the times....
But really just walking and stretching ain't gonna help... even I know that.... but hey... it's a start.... for all those who know me.... know what a big deal it is to see me outdoor - in a garden --- walking!!!!
But what the hell... if Jennifer Lopez at this age and with twins can look this super hot.... so can I!!!! (yeah yeah I know lipos and such but still come on... I bet she works hard at maintaining it!!!!)
So lets see where all this walking takes me..... I'm giving myself till my birthday to be at least 7 kilos down..... that's not unachievable that's just like 2.5 kilos a month.... what do you think possible????
This was Nov 2012... I was in my sixth month... well this could also very well be me today.... So lets see three months down the line.... :)
Someone said skipping.... bring it on!!!!
