After four months of hopeful optimism (read: delusion), I have finally come to terms with the fact that the thrice-weekly gym sessions I endured enjoyed throughout my pregnancy are very much a thing of the past. These days, I’d be lucky to get any “me” time before 11pm and since I do not fancy pounding away on the treadmill in the middle of the night…
So in an attempt to get some semblance of regular exercise, I’ve been trying to take Kaylin for a walk every evening. Most days, we wander around my in-laws’ garden and don’t even make it out the front gate, although there was this one Saturday when we managed a walk to the neighbourhood basketball court and back – a grand total of, er, 500m.
It doesn’t sound like much but really, it’s a three-in-one exercise programme. Walking stretches and works my muscles, carrying a 6kg baby in my arms counts as weight training, and if I walk fast enough to get slightly breathless, it becomes a cardio workout. Or so I tell myself.
Here we are, out in the garden one evening. I like it best when it’s slightly gloomy and there’s a breeze. Kaylin’s practising her Blue Steel for when she becomes a rock star.
i really like this picture of you and kaylin. u have such good skin, and kaylin has the “this is the good life” kinda look. :)
She does! All she needs now is a deck chair and a Pina Colada.
Oh dear! your baby is so cute and cubby! and you look great!
Thanks! I can’t believe it’s been four months already. And she’s grown so much. If you think she looks chubby here, you should see her thighs =P

Cardio workout is always great if you want to cut down those fats
