Some of you already know but some of you may not know that I gave birth to my gorgeous daughter Kyah Savannah Heintze on October 29, 2010 and became a new Mum for the first time at aged 41.

My little girl is growing up so quickly but I am loving every minute of motherhood. It sure does come with many challenges and we have been through plenty of expected ups and downs - the ups far outweigh the downs of course! I know that all mothers will understand the challenges we face are worth every bit of joy we experience as parents.

Since giving birth I have had to change many aspects of my life and my priorities have had to be juggled, however, eating healthy, exercise and getting back into shape since childbirth have still been at the top of my list - I just had to learn how to do it a little bit differently this time around. HInt: always have a Plan B (and C). Creating shorter, more efficient but effective new workouts has been a must. I didn't start exercising until 7 months post baby because I simply wasn't ready, but thankfully it didn't take my body long to remember what to do (I love muscle memory!).

So, new mum's, don't put too much pressure on yourself to get your body back asap, take your time and do it when you are ready. There'll be less stress all round :)
