This weekend calls for a celebration, for me at least. Woohoo!
Why? Firstly, it is time for me to finally start eating carbs again! Can't decide if I wanna eat bread, chocolates or ice cream first. Haha. Secondly, I am at the lightest, fittest and most toned I have been in an entire decade, thanks to @kappingusg, so that is definitely an achievement.
You know, I have never regretted giving birth to three kids but I also saw how my body changed, or more specifically expanded, over the years. At some point, I still believed that I could go back to my pre-pregnancy weight and shape. But over time and after a few futile attempts, I totally concluded that was not possible. I've tried exercising and did a couple of 8-week programs which probably saw me gain muscle and thus weight, but didn't really rid the belly pooch. Eating less for every meal didn't help too. Sure, I don't think I was considered fat but it also wasn't how I used to be or how I wanted to stay.
When I decided to try out this TCM slim cupping treatment, I wasn't sure what to expect. The good thing was each session took merely an hour and other than cutting off carbs for the time being, I didn't need to take pills or use any machines too. My therapist was always there to advise and encourage me along the 6-week journey and I never felt like I was alone. It turned out that I got rid of 6kg, lost inches around my tummy, waist, thighs and arms, enjoyed better sleep and felt less lethargic too. Yup, even I was amazed because I never expected any of that.
So do I believe in its effectiveness? Yes, I do. I also think watching my diet and finding time to exercise are very important too. Let's see how it goes once I slowly resume my diet but I am definitely motivated to let things stay this way and go back for monthly maintenance treatments to make sure I stay on track.
For those who are keen to try it out too, drop @kappingusg a DM on Instagram for more info and quote "ahappymum" for a special deal, yeah? If I can do it, you can do it too!
P.S. See my before and after pics. Never photoshop the marks too to keep things real. They vanish after a few days so don't worry. :)
