Writing: ‘This time last year I was 2.5 stones heavier. I’d given birth a few weeks ago and didn’t recognise myself anymore’.
‘I suffered with hyperemesis and hormonal insomnia throughout my pregnancy. Which meant I averaged around 2 hours sleep a night for 6 months. We tried everything to help me sleep/feel better and nothing worked. I felt Dreadful’.
She continued: ‘Whilst I was pregnant with Alfie I felt great and was weight training till I was 8 months pregnant’.
‘I felt strong and recovery was so fast. With Iris I felt so weak and vulnerable. Combined with two failed epidurals and needing plenty of rehabilitation for my spine and pelvis- recovery has been much longer this time’.
Before going on to say: ‘But I’m finally back to my PB at the gym and feeling stronger and fitter than ever. It’s been really hard at times but for me – But – having children means I want to give them the best version of me, and I want to live for as long as I can’.
‘I train and eat well for me AND them. I train so I’m mentally and physically strong for whatever role I play next. I train so I can feel good about myself. I train to relieve stress’.
Adding: ‘I train so I sleep better. It’s been worth the slog- and I’m showing up each day to maintain things- mentally and physically. Mommas… I know it’s hard right now- but you CAN feel like you again. Keep going!!!! Do not give up!! Show up for yourself AND the kids’.
It comes after Catherine was ecstatic to meet comedian Russell Brand as she shared a sweet snap with the star on Instagram last month.
