1 Week Postpartum

8 days to be exact.
Current mood: mostly sleepy. Not tired, but in need of 10 hours uninterrupted sleep!
Tobi is asleep. Yes guys, she's here! My little angel, born on the 13th of June 2016 at 3:38PM. And she is a forceps baby, meaning I have a tear on my private part, which also means the stitch wound is such a pain in the ass! Luckily it is starting to feel better today, where at least I don't need assistance in sitting down.

From here on, this blog will be dedicated to the journey of my personal goal, to lift heavier, to be fitter, and to look better aesthetically (yes you read it right. Dev? Aesthetic?! Hey I want to be a hot momma ok). But don't worry, no tags such as #fitmum (so overrated).

First, let's get through the confinement period first. 1 month of staying at home, when I'm suppose to let my body recover. But hey, how can I when the baby is crying every 1.5 hour. So I've decided to take it one day at a time, to let go of whatever plan I had in mind and just go along with the flow.
Of course, I will be updating this blog, just to keep myself accountable and to show whoever is reading this, that it is possible to be a mum and still be fit.

Meanwhile here's a photo of my belly 1 week postpartum.

32 weeks, 8 more weeks to go

The title pretty much sums it all up. I'm getting really excited, but nervous at the same time. That plus a whole lots of other emotions. I can't really explain it, and when I do my husband just tells me to try not to think so much. But how could I? I'm sure all the mothers understand. However I do believe that  Adrian has his own fear as well.

So I've been really sick for the past 1 week. Needless to say, I spent a lot of money to see the doctors, from a respiratory specialist and to a neurologist. The money is not the issue, as long as I get well, but I am worried of the amount of medicine I am taking right now.
Also, with one week away from the gym, I'm getting super restless, which is why I did a mini workout just now =P

I've been thinking a lot about my future goals as well (fitness wise). Which is why I start blogging again.
1) I want to gain my pre-baby body, but leaner. And that would include eating healthy again, but without sacrificing my baby's source of food (aka my breast milk). That means my body fat can't be too low.

2) Give myself up to end of 2016 to lose the excess fats I've managed to pile on for 9 months. Maybe 10 due to confinement month. God, I hope my mom does not force feed me too much. You know how the older generation can get. "Jia ah, jia ah.."

3) Start gaining back my strength. That means I'm going to start preparing for my upcoming competition. Of course ideally I would like to take part in SPO 2017, but I think that would be impossible. I mean, 4 months is such a short time, not forgetting all the sleep I'm going to lose from taking care of the baby and from work. So let's be realistic, SPA 2017, and maybe SPI 2017 as well.

4) Along the way, I would really like to get better at my gymnastic movements, and maybe also train for small Crossfit competitions. I've been postponing it for way too long.

So there you go.
I hope to God Tobi is healthy, smart, not fussy at all, and work goes well.

With this, til next time.
