Mission to lose the mummy weight!

A woman wearing sunglasses and a blue vest sits on a swing in a sunny park, enjoying some post-pregnancy relaxation. Beside her is a pushchair, with lush green trees in the background.
Now I’ve never been an oil painting but before having children I was decent. Weighing around 9 stone 6lb which wasn’t bad for my 5ft 5in figure, I was a size 10. I have high hips which means it’s very hard to find clothes to flatter me but I always managed to find something.

When I had Thomas my figure still wasn’t bad, well apart from stretch marks, but after Charlie my body looks wrecked. Now I’m a very self-conscious person so wont be showing off my stomach any time soon but I still feel ugly when wearing clothes as now my stomach and legs just look big and horrible and my stomach is very saggy which makes me feel even worse.
The picture above is probably the worst photo of me ever taken. I didn’t realise that I looked so bumpy and frumpy on my stomach until I saw this photo.
My lifestyle needs to change!

Bottom half: Yellow text "FLARES™" on a vibrant red background.That’s where Zaggora Flares come in. These are leggings that have been specially designed with Celu-lite technology fabric lining. The flares reach right down to your ankles and work by enhancing your bodies natural temperature. When your body is hotter you burn more calories and so this means that by wearing Zaggora Flares you could burn upto 26% more calories in one hour than when your not wearing them.
I have a pair in size medium which is a 12-14, the fit is great and they are very comfortable.

I guess I need to do some exercise as well though which is why we have bought a rowing machine and a exercise bike. Now when I have got some spare time, I’m gunna try and get in at least half an hour a day to wear my Zaggora Flares and exercise. The rowing machine has loads of different functions and can even be used like weights.

Then there’s eating!
There are many times in between food that I start to feel peckish and would reach for crisps, biscuits, chocolate or anything unhealthy but if I want to lose weight I’m gunna have to stop buying these and go for healthier snacks such as Special K bars. Even though these are healthy, they are still chocolatey and very tasty so I know I wont miss having all the junk food.
I am changing chips for oven baked wedges, jacket potatoes or mash and white bread for brown.

Hopefully I will be able to update my progress every week to see how my weight loss and toning up comes along. One day I WILL get back to a size 10!
