Kylie's Blog

Well i started the week well training and eating was spot on. Felt great but as the week progressed I found myself struggling not because of any fault of my own but my son and husband both fell ill and so all the things I wanted to do for me where put on hold... you know what it is like you run around for everyone else and forget about you, but that is the life of a mum and I would not have it any other way.  So I am not down about it I know that I won't give up and when I have more energy again it maybe tomorrow or the next day I will get back into my training and tighten my eating.

No photo this week thought I might wait 3 more weeks and set that as my small goal. Lets see what I can do??

Yes yes I know, trying to do it all ..basically I feel crap this week don't get me wrong I feel  better than before but sleep deprivation is a form of torture.  Trying to be superwoman. Maybe over doing it a little or alot.  My little Zahli seems to want to feed all the time maybe she is having a  growth spurt, so every 2 to 3hrs I seem to be feeding  On top of that I either exercise at 5.30am or 8 or 9pm in  the evening. WHY u say well that is because it is the only time I can do something for myself...

So that is why I am tired.

So here we are in week 7,  I have the right attitude and I am focused, have really picked up the intensity of my training this week. My Metabolic jumpstart is going well (but not great) finding it alittle difficult with meal time I am so busy organising everyone else and forget about myself.

I know you mums out there know what I am talking about.  Everyone else comes first and by the time you remember it is already mid morning or even lunch.

As a trainer i know the importance of mealtime and how it is going to effect my metabolism (the rate in which I burn calories). Missing meals will only slow it down. I know I know and I am working on it.

 Keep it real Kylie its ok.  Just grab an apple or nuts or something whilst you are busy. 

So here are my photos.... Thought I was looking better but after seeing these photos I have a long way to go

Started training this week.  Ohh my goodness it has been along time between training sessions. Obviously leading up to the  birth of Zahli I was just soo tired and looking after the rest of the family,  training was just not a priority. So first session back  and I felt sick nearly vomited plus it also rained heavy 6am Monday but there where 8 other ladies out there with me all encouraging each other and I felt great after that session. As the week progressed DOMS set in (delayed onset of muscle soreness) and i was very sore such a shock to the body. Eating fairly well but must admit struggled some days. But I will not get there if I am not consistent.  So everyday I refocus and strive to do my best.

Re-affirm your goals

Re-fuel your body 

Re-gain control

Thats what this week has been all about for me. I have set my goals. I have started my metabolic Jumpstart eating plan by Matt O'Neill, rekreate Fitness chosen nutritionists/ dietician and official partner. My metabolic matched eating plan is definitely helping me re-fuel my body and inturn re-gain control.

As for exercise there has been 2 walking sessions and some light bodyweight training upper, lower and pelvic floor training. I am waiting for the all clear next week before I really get into my training.

Photo too come

    This week I have felt so much better within myself, I feel I am healing from the caesarian but still not quite right yet and just trying to find a routine with new baby Zahli, Bayden who is going through his terrible 2's and is taking some time adjusting to his little sister, look after the other boys in my family and also making some time to run the business.

 I have improved my eating ever so slightly my water intake has increased no exercise at all. BUT you have to take time out to heal properly. Its no point in me beating myself up about the way I am looking at the moment. Get over it and get on with it don't dwell..

Week 4. Photo coming soon

Ok so week 3 is here and I am still trying to find my feet I know it will take some time and just need to go with it. My eating is not great at all I am missing meals  and not drinking enough water which I do not recommend.

Week 3 Photos a little less belly this time around. Breastfeeding helps. Still carrying lots of fluid

Ok well this week has been really hard.  In and out of hospital with my little girl but all going well. My back hurts, my bum is still numb from the spinal block and sitting on it this whole time and i have loads of fluid around my feet and ankles as well as my hands. PHOTO to come...

So here it is end of 2nd week

Wow, pregnancy, soreback, swollen ankles, breasts the size of watermelons, body changing weekly, always tired, crying for no reason but also a feeling of excitment and anticipation about the little one you are carrying inside and going to give birth too.

This is my journey to recovery and the challenges I face on a weekly basis just like many of you out there. It's tough and crazy at times you feel delirious from little to no sleep but you can do it - we can do it and as each week passes things do get easier.

But before I start let me tell you alittle about myself. I have been in  the fitness industry for over 20 years and have always had a passion for fitness. Don't get me wrong I still have my ups and downs with training and fitness and as years have gone by my famliy has become my first priority.

I am 38 years old married to a great man and have 3 children, my wonderful stepson  Harrison 10 years old which we have half share and my beautiful children Bayden 2 and 4 mths and now Zahli 4 weeks old.

So with that said here is a photo of me pre baby body on the beach with a nice glass of wine feeling relaxed and notice how all things are still where they should be belly nice and firm you can still see my hip bones toned legs no sagging butt or back fat. Just enjoying life .......

Welcome my beautiful baby girl Zahli Julliette Reh 8pd 12 and 51.5cm, no wonder i was tired and oh so big. This week has been such a blur. I had a caesar on the 4th Jan & had a vomiting episode on the 6th Jan same day as those 3rd day blues and when your milk comes in. Feeling crap really -   vomiting does not help when u have had a caesar and have staples in..... ouch.

very tired not coping so well 2nd time around. Will write something again soon
