Meanwhile, one long, glossy spider's leg is gracefully uncurling itself from Z's jap's eye. It hooks into the fleshy folds of Z's perenium, securing a solid purchase to pull from. The spider yanks itself forward, the awkward bulk of its plump torso straining against Z's urethral walls. With one succulent plop, the spider bursts free, landing on the bed. It shakes itself free of Z juice, breathes in the fresh air. Freedom. It's time for his thousands of spider buddies to come out and join him.

Wasn't there something about Zardoz's inside out sleeve last week? I have a fairly worrying mental image forming now.

Okay, okay! The electro-magic fat scales work great and the science makes perfect sense!

If you were ready now, it would be a bit early.

Both flippant and serious, that.

Similarly, I aimed to do my long run yesterday, and baled 2 miles short of what I wanted to do (and 4 miles short of the railway station I was aiming for, too flipping far). Disappointing, and I wondered if that means I'm not really in shape. But really it's fine, marathon's not till the end of August.

I survived the gym last night! First session back after my hols... tough going but still enjoyable.

To be fair, while I was away I did a lot of walking (and swimming) and didn't drink half as much as I normally do (usually go All-inclusive)

...am I growing up?

I just did some Wii Fit U but I messed up at the start so now it thinks I weigh nothing and every time I stand on the board it tells me I've put on weight.

I guess it helps if you stand on the scale when it tells you to rather than stepping off at exactly that moment by mistake :)

I had a similar thing happen to me the other week, it really messed up the targets and the progress graphs etc. You'd think it would have some logic in there to prevent that, or at least a warning that the weight has changed dramatically, are you sure you are doing right?

That is some very impressive work Kov, well done.

If we're doing progress pics, I don't have any to show me as I went along; just a couple of very fat me and a recent-ish one of less fat me.

Having been in the best shape I'd been in years, finally learning to cycle, and managing my first triathlon, I'm now facing the completely daunting challenge of getting back there post-baby.

God help me.

I actually don't know where to start, I kept healthy throughout my pregnancy but obviously there's only so much you can do, especially the last couple of months where you essentially can't move, and having ended up having an emergency c-section I'm now signed off to do anything for another 2 months; crap.

First port of call will be yoga / swimming once I'm allowed to in order to get a bit of strength and cardio back up, but I'm worried about how to work it around full time baby care and also just being nervous about my fitness levels now- don't suppose anyone else has been through this and has good results stories to share to point me in the right direction?! Or anyone with ladies who have been through it?

Must not turn into lazy Mummy, must aim for Yummy Mummy goal!!!!

Honestly? Concentrate on staying a) alive b) rested and c) fed for the next 4-6 months.

You have all the time in the world to be a yummy mummy - you don't get to re-live the first months of a baby's life again :) (and god knows I've tried)

The yummy mummy bit was sort of a joke ;) it's more about how I feel in myself and both the physical and mental health elements. It's really got me down the last couple of months so I don't want to let it go on too long before I do something to get back on board; not full on, just something to get the endorphins going and energy levels / mood up! So looking for ideas and inspiration to kick start that

But yes, keeping the family alive and maybe sleeping again one day first priority

Yeah, MrsA was worried about that, but I assured her that in the Yummy Mummy stakes, of the 6 mums in the NCT group, she'd be in the top five.

See, Husband of the Year award right there. Clearly that's the encouragement I'm missing; have a word with MrFF would you?

Sorry, please don't think me lecturing/patronising :luv: Your mental health is super important (the potential for PND is no joke), but I just remember trying to fit everything in and be super mum with #2 and regretting so much.

There are tons of mum & baby classes these days that will allow you to ease yourself back in without having to worry about childcare - yoga, buggy fit, sling swing and salsa babies (both dance classes) - that sort of thing.

Weight loss wasn't a huge issue for me because of my shit pregnancies but I found breastfeeding and 'babywearing' (using a sling) helped balance out the cake calories consumed early days. I walked a lot - partly because I didn't drive - and that really improved my general fitness without being massively strenuous as well as the fresh air / just getting out being good for my head.

I know the 30 day shred DVD used to be massively popular with new mums because obviously it's something you can do at home, but defo avoid until your scar is 110% healed.

Or anyone with ladies who have been through it?

Must not turn into lazy Mummy, must aim for Yummy Mummy goal!!!!


Use your baby as a weight and do some basic exercises with him, he'll love it and the bonus is that your baby will gain weight slowly, so that you're burning a few more calories than last time...

Having been in the best shape I'd been in years, finally learning to cycle, and managing my first triathlon, I'm now facing the completely daunting challenge of getting back there post-baby.

God help me.

I actually don't know where to start, I kept healthy throughout my pregnancy but obviously there's only so much you can do, especially the last couple of months where you essentially can't move, and having ended up having an emergency c-section I'm now signed off to do anything for another 2 months; crap.

First port of call will be yoga / swimming once I'm allowed to in order to get a bit of strength and cardio back up, but I'm worried about how to work it around full time baby care and also just being nervous about my fitness levels now- don't suppose anyone else has been through this and has good results stories to share to point me in the right direction?! Or anyone with ladies who have been through it?

Hey good idea!! I've seen baby yoga where you can use baby as resistance / weights so shall see if I can find some of the exercises online!

The yummy mummy bit was sort of a joke ;) it's more about how I feel in myself and both the physical and mental health elements. It's really got me down the last couple of months so I don't want to let it go on too long before I do something to get back on board; not full on, just something to get the endorphins going and energy levels / mood up! So looking for ideas and inspiration to kick start that

But yes, keeping the family alive and maybe sleeping again one day first priority


Sorry, please don't think me lecturing/patronising :luv: Your mental health is super important (the potential for PND is no joke), but I just remember trying to fit everything in and be super mum with #2 and regretting so much.

There are tons of mum & baby classes these days that will allow you to ease yourself back in without having to worry about childcare - yoga, buggy fit, sling swing and salsa babies (both dance classes) - that sort of thing.

Weight loss wasn't a huge issue for me because of my shit pregnancies but I found breastfeeding and 'babywearing' (using a sling) helped balance out the cake calories consumed early days. I walked a lot - partly because I didn't drive - and that really improved my general fitness without being massively strenuous as well as the fresh air / just getting out being good for my head.

I know the 30 day shred DVD used to be massively popular with new mums because obviously it's something you can do at home, but defo avoid until your scar is 110% healed.



Not at all! That's all super advice, and important to see / hear both sides of the coin, so thank you :kiss:

I don't drive either so that's good to know the walking will be effective in itself; starting point! There's loads of classes around here but they're hideously expensive so no can do, but hadn't thought about the sling as a good weight type exercise; I need to get one for sure!
