Victoria's Secret Hot Moms Got Their Abs Back !!

Kwa kipindi kifupi baada ya kujifungua VS models Miranda Kerr na Alessandra Ambrosio wapata miili yao kama ya zamani.

Abs By December!

How you all doing dolls!?... I hope you're well. Sisi tu wazima, just busy na kulea. 

It's 10weeks since I gave birth, and I have been lucky enough to lose weight without going through diet or workout. Before getting  pregnant, I used to weigh 121pounds, when I was preparing myself to be pregnant I weigh 8pounds, then I got preggy and gain 36pounds. This early week I checked up my weight and guess what? I weigh 137pounds!! You know that means I only lost 20pounds baby weight.

My stomach shrink to my normal size but still tepe tepe. So here is my goals, by Christmas I want to have abs. Who is with me on this? Lets do this. Abs for Christmas. Yayyyyyyy!!!

MACY'S THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE IN NY!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YO'ALL!

Thanksgiving Day is a traditional holiday celebrated in the United States and Canada.  Family get together and celebrate by having the kind of meal shown pichani (a big turkey), and have a list of things to be thankful for. Last year, my hubby Cody and I went to visit his family in Port Angeles. And guess what?,..


....while sitting around a big table, surrounded with my wifis, shemeji, grandpa, mother and father-in-law, mara I hear the sound of the fork tapping against a wine glass. It's wifi. My wifi kindly started playing a song beat, and the others started with mouth sounds, followed by my brother in-law, and grandpa, and shemeji Justin, and I my hand beating the table to match the beat, and mom, then the song was complete. It was a some kind of impromptu jam session! And all of the sudden everyone start to laugh! And that's where wifi Shoshy came up the question, ''when are you guys gonna have a baby?"...


Cody and I look at eachother, so I said...Next year, on the time like this, (thanksgiving) we gonna come with the baby! Jina la Bwana libarikiwe sana.


Happy thanksgiving to you all!


PS: This year we gonna celebrate with our friends in LA. 
Wait for the pix...

To Answer The Question on ''How I lost baby weight so fast'':

Swali: ''you look good my dear ila naomba unisaidie kitu kimoja unafanyaje tumbo linarudi flat baada ya kujifungua, kunamtu aliniambia eti kuna mafuta watu wanapaka yanacinyaisha tumbo baada ya kujifungua , nisaidie tk mi nimejifunga 9months back yani 2mbo bado linanisumbua. ihave two kids wote nilifanyiwa upasuaji.''

TK:Hi, dolls! Ahsante, nafikiri mazoezi ya YOGA and PILATES ambayo yako specific kwa mtu mwenye kovu la mshono yanaweza kukusaidia. Mfano: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XuD1ySzOEE

Pia ukijizoesha kuvaa mikanda ya tumbo au "tights shaper", taratibu tumbo litarudi katika hali ya kawaida.

  

Swali: ''Wow!, hawt mama! God Bless you dear, you look stunning, no baby weight in less than two months? what did you do? ebu tupe siri yako gal nasi tupendeze!!??? But seriously, TK, can you PLEASE share with us what you did to loose the weight? you were not that big anyways during preg but am sure you lost some pounds already. Damn!, you look shueeeet!'' 

TK: Ahsante:-)! God Bless you more my dear!

You are right! I did not gain much wait during my pregnancy. I only gain about 30something pounds, most gain 60pounds na zaidi. I don't know if because I was caring a girl or just my genes. As I hear many say if you are pregnant with the baby boy unanenepa au unavimba, wengine inawasumbua mpaka mwisho. Sivyo!?!

I also believe watu wengi wakishajifunguwa uwa wanakuwa na menu nzito, (eating for 2), na unakuta anayeku'take care anakulazimisha ule upate nguvu and all. Pale ndio unakuta mtu ananenepa sana na kupoteza mwili wake wa zamani. Mimi niliendelea kula chakula nilichokuwa nakula siku zote, (health food.) Kunywa maji mengi na juice pia naendelea ku'take my prenatal. 

But also I think it has to do on what I was doing the time I was pregnant. Nilikuwa nafanya mazoezi ya kupandisha vilima vya hapa Hollywood, na kufanya YOGA za mama wajazito 3-4 times a week. Hata ilinisaidia kujifunguwa haraka...15-20mins.

Baada ya kujifungua kwa week 6 nilipumzika ili kupona vyema.

Sikufunga tumbo, just from kunyonyesha, tumbo likarudi ktk hali yake ya kawaida. Wataalam wanasema kuyonyesha kwa saidia ku'lose baby weight. http://www.webmd.com/parenting/baby/news/20081208/breastfeeding-helps-moms-lose-weight

For more questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Email me @: totalknockout1@gmail.com I will be happy to help.

Ok, now I'm back for real!!

Hi guys- I've been getting a lot of great comments lately, people say that the blog is boring now and complain that why I have not put any pictures of Baby Malaika! Well, I do appreciate your support even though I haven't been posting much.

Obviously I haven't been blogging as much as I used to, since I have been a little distracted with this whole pregnancy and motherhood thing. Its difficult to figure out the right balance of sharing and privacy. I want to share with you all what my life is like these days, and of course share the joy of having a new beautiful baby to love. But I also want to respect my family's privacy, especially considering all of the drama and gossip on the internet.

So we decided that we would wait a little while before putting up pictures of Malaika, to give her a little chance to breathe before jumping in. There will be pictures to come soon, and I also want to share more about what life is like as a mother, because it is truly an amazing experience.

From here forward, I want to start a new Total Knockout, focused on life, inspiration, faith, family and beauty. These are a few of my favorite things! Some readers have given great suggestions for what I they want to see, such as pictures from acting auditions or prayer requests and praise reports. Great ideas, and I will start doing that. I would also love to get stories and pictures from you. If you have something important that you want to talk about, let's post it here see what people have to say.

Next month will be the 4th Anniversary of Total Knockout!! OMG!

Mariah Carey's babies!

Just recently Mariah Carey tweeted the pictures of her 6month twins Moroccan and Monroe...How cute!

Out & About: Malaika na Baba'ake!

Get Busy, Stay Young And Beautiful!

You might wanna use Beyonce's words saying, ''strong enough to bear children and then get back to business''. I strongly believe all women can do that, because until the last days of my 9month pregnancy, I was still working. I was so busy, I couldn't even get a chance to blog. Now I am a mother pass 7weeks, I'm healed and so ready to work again. Mungu yu mwema!
