The MuTu Guru Strikes Again

She’s baaaccckkk! The MuTu Guru strikes again! Or shall I say, “comes to the rescue again?” My resident Mummy Tummy Guru, Wendy Powell, has stepped in to help me with my struggles. I’m struggling with post-pregnancy weight gain 2 years post-pregnancy. As many of you know…I’m not such a yummy mummy any more and was asked 3 times last month when my baby’s due. I even put my head on Wendy’s shoulder at Cybermummy about the whole mess!

I feel like one of my major stumbling blocks is FOOD! I eat too much of it, obviously, and don’t eat enough of the right things. Being nearly 40 (shhhh) doesn’t help as my metabolism must have slowed to that of a nearly-dead snail. I feel confused and flumoxed by what to eat and when and am even beginning to wonder if I have a gluten intolerance as I tend to bloat something fierce these days. Of course, the fact that my internal organs are falling out of my body doesn’t help with bloating.

I received a life-line today in the form of an email from MuTu Guru Wendy who has graciously offered to help me with my diet as long as I write down everything that crosses my lips for the next two weeks. Oh, dear. But it needs to be done. And let me tell you…on day 1 (today) I have been a lot more cautious about what I’m putting in my mouth as it’s going down on a piece of paper to be analysed by Wendy. It’s good to be held accountable!

So, today is the beginning of my MuTu Food Revolution…I’ll be blogging about it and crying about it I’m sure. Are you up for the journey with me? Tune in here and at No More Excuses for the whole sordid story of my horrible food choices and how Wendy is going to help me get my brain in gear and understand what I need to put in my body to make it work better for me. Let me tell you a little secret though…I’M HUNGRY!!!
