Stomach issues

I feel like I am falling to pieces.  Maybe I trained too hard after giving birth.  Not only am I still having knee issues (I think I may go to the doctor and get a scan because if he tells me just to rest well that aint going to happen unless I have some definite diagnosis) this last week I am having stomach issues.  I am wondering if maybe I have an allergy to something.  I feel ok until I eat my oats in the morning and then I get stomach pains and feel like I have a bubbly tummy until the afternoon.  Yesterday we went out for lunch and I had a beautiful salad but it came with some flat sort of bread and I ate that and had the same sort of thing after.  Is it a bug? or is it something in oats and bread? hmmm, may have something different for breakfast tomorrow and see what happens.  Incidently I was ok after eating tea last night, we had a chicken done on the bbq and roast veggies??????

Christening

Just a few pics from the christening.  We had Bailey's christening yesterday and he was as good as gold!  You can see compared to my 2 year old he is going to be a big boy!

Training is going well.  I have only 2 kgs to go to pre-pregnancy but not worried.  I lost another kilo without even trying and I even had a few drinks that week!!

For those of you who don't know I do makeup so I had a wedding to do this weekend.  I get such enjoyment at transforming people and making them look gorgeous.  I am hoping to pick up some more work as I love doing this.  Got a few enquiries for this year and another booked for end of year so fingers crossed.  Need to work on advertising I think!!  OOh gotta go bubs is up.

Holy moly

This photo is quite old now.  Jay looks tired and well Bailey is much bigger now.  I think this was taken at the end of January so Bailey was 3 months old.

My chest is sore.  I finished my diet and training with my online trainer and achieved exactly what I wanted to achieve.  I had a lady come up to me this morning in spin saying were you the pregnant one not so long ago to which i replied yes.  She said my god you are so tiny to which I told her that it has been pure hard work to get where I am now.  So i have eased up on the diet and basically as long as eat fairly heathly and balanced I am happy and have devised my own weight training of 3 days weights the other days cardio.  I was missing my cardio with doing weights 6 days a week and with a toddler and a baby I just can't keep going that way as it was making me so tired not to mention that I am always up in the night with Bailey so although I still need to train hard for me it is all about balance.

I still need a boob job!!!!!!!!!

Oh forgot to mention my poor little bub has got 2 teeth.  He turned 5 months 2 days ago and he got 2 teeth at 4 1/2 months.  Talk about early!!!

What else............just had a cup of cocoa for the first time in like 10 years and it hasn't gone down well, got tummy ache now so think I will just stick to a protein shake if I'm hungry after dinner:(

Need some advice..

I need some advice.  My knees seem to be getting worse and worse the more I workout.  I can't run anyway so that doesn't bother me as I can do other cardio and I love rpm.  The issue here is my leg workouts.  I am in fear I will become a cripple.  Is this the end of doing legs with weights?  Do I need to seek other ways of working out like pilates.  I could really do with some advice as I don't want to make my situation worse.

Burgers anyone..

Found this great new burger joint in Subiaco and Hillarys and the burgers are to die for.  When we went to the one in Hillarys a few weeks ago i just had a chicken salad as I am dieting but yesterday I had my cheat meal and had one.  The meat just melts in your mouth and you can actually taste it.  It's not fatty at all and they are just lovely gormet burgers and they don't come with chips unless you order a serve and geez I enjyed every mouthful with a lovely glass of wine.  Jay was in daycare and we took Bailey in the pram who was just happy to sit there and play and watch us eat.  It's funny though, the burger was not huge just average but not small either, actually hard to explain and I didn't feel full after I ate in fact I could have had another:) but I couldn't eat for the rest of the day, just didn't feel like eating and I've also had a funny day eating wise today, not really that hungry.  Oh well.

Rest day tomorrow bring it on.  I think I am just about due for a week off.  I lift 6 days a week with a little cardio and I feel like I am just not gaining anymore strength and it is all getting too hard, so in 3 weeks when I finish this program I think I will take a week off from weights and maybe just walk for cardio.  I am also looking forward to getting back into not so much strict dieting I am getting rather bored of chicken and green beans and don't get me wrong I could have fish or brocoli but at the moment its easy just to chuck some green beans in the microwave steamer for 4 mins.  I run out of time with the baby and toddler and then when they go to bed I don't want to prepare meals I need some time just to sit and gather my thoughts before going to bed rather early as Bailey still gets up a couple of times in the night and I need to get as much sleep as I can.  Yes I am being a princess!!

Still hanging in there..

Yes I am still doing ok.  Training spot on nutrition spot on most of the time.  It has been a trying few weeks.  Bailey keeps getting up a few times in the night and decides its play time so needless to say I am not getting alot of sleep at the moment and we all know what happens if you don't get enough sleep, things tend to slide, food being the first.  I am just so tired all the time and I am finding it hard to actually catch up on sleep.  I am feeling dead.  I am still training only missed 1 session last week and that was because I was up ALL night with Bailey, but it makes me think how much is too much.  Don't get me wrong I love training it makes me feel great and I can see the results and the diet is fine but I much can we push ourselves physically and mentally before we break.  I have only started to think about this the last few days after much sleep deprivation.  Sleep fixes everything or breaks everything.  That is why sometimes my nutrition is not spot on.  Not eating junk just not always eating what is on the plan or sometimes it can be missing meals.  I think 95% of the time I am doing ok.

Sent through my updated pics and according to Tony I am doing great so I guess no need to worry.  I am giving myself 12 weeks and I think I have 4 weeks to go.  After that I am on my own which is fine with me, I could only afford to do 12 weeks to kickstart me after having bubs.  At least I can fit into most of my old clothes.

Anyway I think I better go bubs has just gone down for a nap which means I want to try and get 30mins of zzzz's.

Going well

Things are going well.  I love having an online trainer who gives me different workouts each day it stops me having to figure out what I need to do.  I am getting stronger and can see a change in my body.  6 weeks down 6 weeks to go.  I have been good most of the time.  I am allowing myself a cheat meal once a week but i must admit we went to a bbq last weekend and I had 4 wines aswell but I am ok with this.

It is Jay's 2nd birthday on Thursday so we are having a party for him on Sunday.  Should be good but I have so much to organise!!

In regards to Bailey I think I am going to start him on rice cereal.  He is only 15 weeks old but is waking twice a night for a feed and just seems so hungry at night so will give him a little and his bottle before he goes to bed to see if that makes a difference.
