Motherhood - the new fitness regime??

Maya trimmed her hair the other day, and when i came home I have to say she looked amazing.

Early on in our pregnancy, the big fear echoed by all was that she would pack on the pounds and then find it difficult to lose. Both of us have had to fight minor weight/ego battles in the past and so this seemed the worst part of the whole deal (though all-day scratching and launching a 3kg baby from your insides would have to be a close 2nd for her).

So, we went through the pregnancy, got a glowing baby and Maya healed. All is now fine and when the dust settled we found a most peculiar (i mean this in the nicest way) occurence. Maya is in fighting shape!

Screw the gym. Screw diets. She has a healthy baby and looks nothing like a typical "mom". She herself was shocked by the reaction (read her post on this: Maya's blogpost ).

But, the post-haircut Maya really truly made me look at this girl in my life and feel proud. She has gone through some major physical tests recently, and I must say she has come out the winner.

A short post dedicated to M. And photographic proof of what I am talking about:

As for me, I continue to yoyo. First an emaciated malnourised soul, and then a healthy, downright chubby, man the next day. Oh well. 1 out of 2 aint bad!
