CeeCee, you should absolutely carry on with your aerobics teacher stuff! I would be FAR more likely to go to an aerobics class run by someone who looked normal and not some tanned, amazonian woman with impossibly long legs and staggering cheekbones. Now of course you may well already be tanned, amazonian, long-legged and with staggering cheekbones, in which case I hate you. Haha! When I was at uni I went to an aerobics class run by a lovely lady called Ann -the gym was packed every week when she was doing it simply because she was quite short, a bit wobbly and with quite a big bum. She was also a really good teacher and made it good fun which is the aim, non?
The weight issue is a constant battle with me too. I was fairly hefty when I got married (love that corsetry) at around 13.5 stone, then in the first year after marriage I piled on another stone. Last July we went on a first-anniversary holiday to Ireland and I was revolted by the photos of myself so I went on a healthy-eating and exercise spree whilst at the same time trying to conceive this little munchkin. I managed to lose the best part of two stone in about 4 months then I got preggers - all I did was interval running two or three times a week and eating less. I was so proud of myself and even now, nearly 28 weeks preggo, I weigh less than I did on that Ireland holiday. Woop! We can all do it afterwards ladies - I think the limbo thread will then become Limbo Ladies Lose Lard! And our bodies are doing these amazing things too, let's not forget that - I am still shocked every day that it's capable of doing all this stuff!
Claire, I'm due on 6th August. When do you reckon I'll have the bub, what gender and what weight? Let's test your spooky senses!!
The cleaner is the best thing I've ever done. She is like a goddess to me! Although I've just remembered I forgot to get my hair out of the shower plughole this morning which is one job I just can't bear the thought of her having to do! With us both out of the house for about 13-14 hours a day every day we just have no time to clean, it's definitely a luxury but so worthwhile. I love going home on Thursdays and smelling my clean house.
