Struggling with a return to the gym

[Horseymum]

Ok so before I had my little girl last September I trained for up to three hours a night either on the mat or in the gym, I used to box for fitness leisure,menudo to international. I also used to train BJJ and MMA as well as riding and caring for my horse daily.
since having my little girl I lost the baby weight within a month, was back riding the horses in 6 weeks and went back to judo after 8 weeks, I've stopped judo mainly as in the evening and OH gets home after 6 most nits so find that training late does pnothing for my mood/energy the next day. But I have been in the gym a hour a day every day, in addition to the chores that motherhood and family lfe brings, and riding my horse alon g with yard chores, but can't get past the 75kg mark, really could do with getting back down to 65kg for my own sanity but no matter what I do or how much I do it's not shifting and now I'm struggling to get motivated :-( grrrr....

I know it's easier said than done but take things slowly! You gave birth less than a year ago, it takes a while to get back to anything resembling 'normal' and even then it may just be that your body is a bit different to what it was, especially if you were so active before.

Why don't you post in the Ask the Trainer section for some ideas - Zoe works with a lot of new mums so I'm sure she'll be able to give you some ideas!

My advice is take it easy at the beginning..

Once you start, you will find it much easier
