Take pride in each one of those. It took me four months to achieve this goal of mine, to get back to being healthy and fit after having a baby feels like such a long way.to come back and regain fitness and being able to compete at the highest level again. Follow your dreams. No matter how many people tell you, you can’t because God knows how many of those we have around us. If I can then anyone can. #believe #mummahustles.”

It’s the only way 2 minutes weren’t feeling like 2 hours. On a serious note - more dynamic and more cardio was being introduced by this point as I was feeling stronger. Had 8 more kilos to lose and whole lot of muscle to put on. #mummahustles”
