Something about this pregnancy made me fearless . Strong . Ready to take on anything . And everything . Positively charged from the first moment i conceived her✨
What was so different this time ?
Nyra was it you?
Or was it my own will and vision to redefine the second pregnancy .
To all mamas to be out there .
Be aware, mindful and conscious to make sure you stay focused on this Unbelievable miracle of life that we are blessed to nurture . Shut off from the noise and fear. This is your journey and nothing should take away from the beauty of it all . 🪄❤️ #imperfectlyperfect #motherhood #throwbackthursday #naughtynyra #messymama 12 July 2019❤️
Because I had it hard as a teenager who stammered and was on the heavier side, I will teach my kids to be kind and more tolerant and accepting of all differences. Not everyone is the same . It was very hard to go beyond the hurtful comments I would receive and I wish I could tell this young girl that she was more than perfect ✨But looking back haven’t we created a world of perfection and high standards to live upto? Are we sending our kids into that same space? I’d like to believe we are more mindful, conscious beings who are compassionate❤️ ✨ #imperfectlyperfect #consciousparenting #throwbackthursday 🌟
There is no perfect formula for how to ready your older one for a sibling! I think it’s a constant work in progress for me and Akshai to find a balance for Hans to feel secure, happy and ok to share his mama and papa with his lil sister ❤️ to get to this point now where i have to say he has totally found his rhythm with Nyra, the journey was not easy here . ( I get asked a lot on this ) I struggled sometimes with GUILT because Nyra being small I had to make sure she’s always taken care of and that can result in me being a bit strict with Hans on how he handled her . The most important thing as a mother was LISTENING and understanding his reactions . He is also a child and cannot be expected to comprehend and understand immediately . For that I went beyond the tantrums and that takes incredible PATIENCE esp as a overwhelmed new mom . I constantly told him that he had a huge role to play bringing her up . He is now a major part of daily responsibilities . And he loves it .
What helped –
Being patient with him acting out.
Not changing his routine ( bedtime stories , playtime , etc)
Asking family and friends to be mindful not shifting too much focus on the baby. It’s needs to be balanced .
Giving him things to do so he felt part of the process . COMMUNICATION Is so important . Being HONEST with your child is really the key. Having dedicated one on one time with him. That means my mom in law or Akshai had to watch Nyra and that’s where TEAMWORK and EQUAL PARENTING really helped in the process . What was your experience? Any advice on how to ready your child ?

You will always find Methi Theplas in our house ! And a whole variety of pickles and chutneys! It’s very easy to make and convenient to snack on or add to a main meal ! It also stays in the fridge for 15 days ! Which is super ! @manjrivarde
👉🏼
Two bunches Methi leaves
5-6 finely diced green chillies
2 tablespoons of dahi
2 tablespoons of oil
1 large tablespoon jeera powder
2/3 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 cups of whole wheat flour
Salt to taste
Finely chop the methi leaves. Soak in cold water for a minute, squeeze and pick them up. In this manner, the mud and other sediments remain in the water. And the leaves come up clean.
To this add all the ingredients and mix well. Add the flour and bind. It should be soft enough to roll.
Roll out 6-7 inch rounds and place them on a hot tawa. Dry roast both sides. Then add oil or ghee and fry well.
Enjoy with all kinds of pickles and dahi.
👉🏼
Easy Peanut Dry chutney
A small teacup of roasted peanuts
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp haldi powder
2 tsp Mirchi powder
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp whole jeera
1 tsp crushed garlic ( optional ) but we love it 😍
Pound the peanuts till coarse . Add all ingredients and pound till well mixed .

91 kg to my goal 73 kg💪🏼For all my ladies fighting to get back in shape . I will be sharing my 9 month journey to fitness. I will be 👉🏼Intermittent fasting . Cycling. Yoga. Whatever it takes ! Can’t walk or run yet with a fractured toe . I wish I could tho. It’s time to get back in action ! Anyone feel inspired to join me? 🤩I will do weekly check ins with my fitness updates ! Let’s just think of this as you peeps as my million life coaches 🙏🏼 making sure I get to my goal 🕺💃Which is fit by Diwali ( nov 4th 2021 ) with an average loss of 2 kg per month till my goal weight of 73 kg 📣
🔱 currently doing 16:8 intermittent fasting . My eating window is 12 noon to 8 pm . From 8pm onwards I only drink herbal tea with no sugar/ milk. I’ve seen a drop of 1 kg in the last 2 weeks . I eat a balanced diet in my eating window . I’m not too strict because I’m stating slow not to feel pressured ! Please check if you can try fasting with your doctor . Not for breast feeding moms . Look online for more info .
My experience ? First 10 days were really hard ! I was cranky and feeling hunger pangs but now I’m quite comfortable . In fact I feel lots of energy. At 10 am I usually feel I get weak to break the fast so at that time I do yoga to help me get past it. Anyone looking for online yoga classes connect with my teacher @yogabypramila . She has basic and intermediate and I’ve been doing her instagram recorded classes . Or just get moving with any sport or even just dance ! It’s time ! let’s do this together ! 🌟 #fitnessmotivation #fitnessfriday #letsdothis 💪
Translate👉🏼’I have the WORST Saasu in the world’ 😂😂😂 Gujju Classes with Sassy Saasu anyone? 😃 @manjrivarde 😎 #messymamaandsassysaasu #gujrati #gujjus #gujjugram #gujjurocks #gujarati #saasbahu #redifined ❤️
What body do you visualise for yourself? It is very powerful to have that picture in your mind! But comparing the older slimmer you to where you are now can get you frustrated ! Instead visualise a NEW IMPROVED VERSION that is sustainable , realistic and makes you happy getting there .
💪🏼Month 1 Week 3 – my weight is the same 90.6 kg but I have lost an inch on my waist . I’ve had this happen before where the first month I gain muscle because of the workouts . And then it starts going down . I’ve never been this consistent since nyra was born with the workouts so I’m thrilled ! I also have to REPORT to you peeps so I can’t escape this 🤣.
💪🏼What I have observed – with intermittent fasting I’ve become so mindful of what I eat . It’s actually been the easiest diet I’ve stuck to . What really helps is working out right before the fasting breaks . I feel
It gives the optimum result . I’ll be talking about different fitness regimes with @tapasya.solanki next week . Besides @yogabypramila and badminton I would love to know how to incorporate light easy exercises at home ( I don’t have access to a gym ) but all in all
I’m happy I’m sticking to my goal ! Are you ? #fitnessfriday 2 kg per month goal . CONSISTENT HARDWORK PAYS OFF ! #fitnessfriday #letsdothis
I woke up exhausted but still managed 45 mins of yoga this morning . For me being CONSISTENT and DISCIPLINED is my only way to make sure I don’t fall off the plan ✅ I’m down from 91 kg to 90.6.
In the past week I have 👉🏼
Eaten only is my window of 11am to 7pm ( intermittent fasting 16:8) in my fasting window only lots of water and herbal tea / black coffee in the morning with no sugar no Milk)
This fasting has helped me STOP that LATE NIGHT SNACKING! Which was a huge issue for me with mommy exhaustion and attacking sweets for energy ! ❌
I’m eating at 3 points . 11 am 2pm and 6 pm . I’m not doing any crazy diet . Just very well balanced meals. If I get on a diet at some point I will share but I don’t want to overwhelm myself right now .
Online Yoga 3 times a week @yogabypramila . Badminton everyday . Cycling 4 times a week. But the trick is to be mindful and keep moving and active 🏃🏻♀️
How’s it going for you ? #fitnessfriday #fearless #happy #fit #imperfectlyperfect #letsdothis 💪🏼
