#transformationtuesday is all about the transformation of your body, from bad to good, hopefully! Those who do not already, don’t forget to follow IG @Cikipedia for our fitness updates!

People will tell you the merits of breast-feeding, but what they don’t tell you, is that the struggle is real. And what about the “bottle”? (*gasp*). Purists will balk at the idea, but for pete’s sake, let’s be realistic. Here are things that the books and online portals do not tell you about breast-feeding. […]
So, it’s been exactly 2.5 weeks since bubs entered our lives. Things at home will never be the same again. From breast-feeding exclusively around to clock to spending time trying to understand our lil one, its all been a whirlwind of activities for sure. Anyway, people ask me, how I shed my pregnancy weight so […]
Navel’s a permanent outie. Run’s become a walk. Eating takes some effort and so does sleeping. Ask me again if it’s worth it… and I’d still say..YES! With only one more week or so to go, I can say this has been quiet a journey. People tell me “you look great carrying this baby” and […]

Why work on my core when my stomach will start to resemble a huge watermelon soon? Training your core while pregnant sounds a bit OTT, especially since you’re not going to see any signs of that illusive “six pack”. So why should I do it? During pregnancy, you gain significant weight, and since the weight […]
Being pregnant is like a marathon. A 40 week long marathon actually. It’s not how you start the race, but how you finish. So, I was really happy that my first trimester went on without a hitch. No morning sickness, no fatigue, no food cravings or aversions etc and apart for 1 or 2 kg […]
