bkkgal, I am not complaining and dun mind terribly what I am now, but would still want to tone up and lose at least 4-5 kg from current weight cause I feel thats the ideal for me in terms of clothing fitting and the way I like how I look. But I wont go on extreme diet or anything like that. Will just work on my inner health and let everything takes it course naturally. Anyway hor, its not like I have the energy/time to do anything more targetted even if I want to haha!
Dor, try supplements? See if it helps?
kristen, you need to give yourself more time. Our bbs are only so small, not even 6mths yet, give yourself at least a year?
Iso, I didnt have a massage lady, but I dont think its related lot. No massage in the world can tone our bodies the way exercise does, and no massage can melt away calories if we dont control our diets (haha, I feel so guilty saying that considering how I ate chocolate almost every other day just before bed!).
And hor, I like your saying that its a good excuse to buy new clothes! In fact me too leh, almost 90% of my current tops are newly bought after birth of my second bb cause I cant fit into old ones, and till today I still cant fit into a single pair of bottoms before my second bb so they are also all newly bought. But I didnt buy too much, just enuf to rotate, so now I am always in the same clothing!
Garfield, rice is quite a low-allergy food from what I know so its a good first food to introduce. But I personally feel that white rice is mostly starch, not much nutrients and our bb's digestive system below 7 or 8mths prob cant digest BR efficiently (v fiberous). So I plan to introduce avocado as first food- V dense in nutrients and good fats, also low-allergy. Plus the texture is already v mushy, so its quite ideal I feel.
WEIGH vs HEALTH- not sure if its because I am a sahm or maybe motherhood has made me more 'sensible' haha, but these days I am more concerned about my health than weight on the scales. I am alot more anxious about not feeling/being energetic or feeling moody easily casue these will all impact my children's well-being directly. So actually, I came make myself stop eating my chocolates n chips for weight loss reasons, but I can actually control my intake of junk for the above health reasons (when we eat junk, will naturally affect energy levels and mood to a certain extend). Quite amazing hor, motherhood.
