Having spent almost the past year safely and comfortably
cocooned in my new mummy bubble, it has finally dawned on me that I’ve let
myself go a bit: I’m a little baggier around the middle; my boobs now resemble
deflated balloons, the kind that, if you leave them lying around for a while, go
all wrinkly and soft; my eyebrows are more hedgerows, my clothes mismatched and
accessorised with snot and my hair… well the less said the better really.
But what really spurred me on to take action was the
response I got from Captain Sensible when I asked him if he thought I’d lost
weight.
With uncharacteristic foolhardiness or stupidity (I’m not
sure which), Captain Sensible did not answer with the expected and safe answer
of ‘Of course,’ or ‘you don’t need to lose weight.’ Oh no, he decided to stick,
not just his head, but his whole body in the oven by responding with: “Well you
have had a baby.”
In other words: “No. You’re still looking a little tubby!”
We’re still not speaking…
Anyway, it got me thinking; time for an overhaul, a self
-designed mummy makeover and here’s my list of 5 things (Let’s keep it
achievable) I’m going to do: (I’ll let you know how I get on!)
1.
Tone up -
So far so good, although I think I might have broken my wrist last night doing
some rather vigorous squat thrusts!
2.
Learn to skate board – My nephew got a skateboard
for his birthday and it was loads of fun. It’s not odd for a thirty something
woman to be out and about boarding is it?!?
3.
Write more – Pursue the things I love to do,
I’ve been putting it off for long enough.
4.
Get a TOWIE - esque makeover: fake tan, fake nails, fake eyelashes, the works!
5.
Divorce my husband for not lying to me – Well
maybe that one’s a bit extreme, he’s pretty awesome most of the time.
