You know that scene in that cartoon The Incredibles, where Elastigirl a.k.a. Mrs Incredible is trying to rescue Mr Incredible and she sees her reflection in the mirror and takes a few seconds to check out her behind in her new superhero uniform? You know her expression, like "WTH?!! Who's lower body is THAT and how did it get so BIG??!"
Yeah, I can totally relate. Dude, my thighs are like....huge. Walking creates a fire hazard as they rub together so much. And my butt?!! Argghhh...like Elastigirl said...*sigh*.
I know, I know, I just gave birth, so I shouldn't freak out about the weight gain. Or extra inches. Normally I wouldn't because with Dania and Dina, I went back to normal size almost instantly after giving birth. But this time is different. It's like I've absorbed too much "baby fat" to bounce back to regular size.
Maybe it's an age factor. Maybe my metabolism rate just isn't what it used to be.
Well, one thing's for sure, I HAVE to do something about this. I tried on my old pair of jeans and could just barely zip them up. Even then, I had what we famously call "muffin tops".
I HAD TUMMY ROLLS!! I'VE NEVER HAD TUMMY ROLLS BEFORE!!

ARGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!
What I need are simple, no fuss solutions. I need to exercise, no doubt about it. I don't believe in slim fast drinks or creams so don't advice me to waste money on those stuff. I feel like a contestant on The Biggest Loser, I need me a hot Bob Harper or the even-hotter Jillian Michaels.

Puuuurrrrrr!!!! Yummiieeee!!
OK, enough talk about "food". Since I don't have nor can I afford a personal trainer, I googled some exercises. I found this great site on msn called exercisetv. And guess what, they have Jillian as one of the trainers.
YES!! Talk about motivation.
So far, I've tried a session of "lean and mean leg workouts" and boy, can Jillian really drill it to ya!! But perseverance is the key. Let's hope I don't go "hangat-hangat taik ayam" too soon.
