Update (January 12, 2009):
After doing the Fit Yummy Mummy workout for a couple of weeks, I noticed my clothes were looser! I could also see my arms getting more toned.
I also finally joined Club Fit Yummy Mummy, the online community of Fit Yummy Mummy ownders. Why did I wait so long? As a Christmas gift, Holly gave us access to the exercise videos, which she normally sells. I saw that I was actually doing some of the moves wrong. Mostly, I was doing them too fast.
From the forum, I also got answers to my workout questions, such as: what cardiovascular exercise can I do when it’s too cold outside for my usual walk? Thankfully, the answers did not involve buying a treadmill or any other new equipment.
Unfortunately, a series of illnesses made me stop exercising altogether over the holidays. Holly’s motivational Emails with tips on how to avoid the dreaded holiday weight gain – while still enjoying the parties – were a big help.
Now a case of chilblains has got me on my feet again and back to my Fit Yummy Mummy workouts. Man, this feels good! I cannot wait to look even better than before I got pregnant for the third time.

I have been pushing away these thoughts from my mind because I wasn’t prepared to do what I knew was needed to reverse this downward trend that I’m on. Until I discovered the Fit Yummy Mummy program. I’m not new to exercising. In fact, before I got pregnant for the third time, I had been working out in a gym regularly. Plus, I own a dozen exercise DVDs.
But the Fit Yummy Mummy program is different:
