Uncensored. Unprompted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it too late?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, with a disconcerting mix of excitement and trepidation, I logged on to MUTU System for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m probably not the typical MUTU mum.&nbsp; For a start, it is 32 years since I last gave birth and my two wonderful daughters now each has a daughter of their own.&nbsp; To say I have left this a bit late is something of an understatement, however, I don\u2019t believe it is too late. I don\u2019t believe it is ever too late for anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About me&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am a confident, capable, middle-aged woman.&nbsp; I work hard, run two businesses, have great friends and like to challenge myself.&nbsp; But somehow, in amongst all of that, I have left my body behind. I have been significantly overweight for most of my adult life and, as I get older, I am really beginning to feel it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years I have alternately ignored my body or been at war with it.&nbsp; I have bought into the idea of \u201cbattling\u201d with my weight, of \u201cfighting the flab\u201d.&nbsp; I have bullied my body into exercise it wasn\u2019t ready for, abused it for not complying and deprived it of the love it deserved.&nbsp; Not anymore. The war is over. I have declared a truce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">My marvellous body&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/0.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/0.jpg 500w, https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/05\/0-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The reality is that my body is marvellous.&nbsp; It has grown two whole other human beings and delivered them safely into the world.&nbsp; My legs walked me 500 miles across Northern Spain when I asked them to. My arms have rocked two generations of babies to sleep.&nbsp; When my body and I work together there is nothing we can\u2019t do. Now it is time for me to do something for my body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is true that my body is saggy and baggy and some toning would be a kindness.&nbsp; My back aches most mornings so strengthening my core would ease the pain. At the moment I don\u2019t even know where to find my diastasis recti but I suspect I don\u2019t have enough fingers to measure the gap!&nbsp; And yes, I\u2019m going to go there, my body is at times a little leaky. I wish I was just talking about menopausal tearfulness but it\u2019s also a long time since I could safely sneeze without crossing my legs.&nbsp; When I compare notes with some of my friends it seems that I\u2019m not too bad in that department but I\u2019m not sure any amount of leakiness needs to be accepted as normal, so I\u2019m going to tackle that too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">MUTU System&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today I logged onto MUTU system for the first time because I am being kind to my body.&nbsp; Wish me luck \u2013 I\u2019ll bring the determination myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Ready to become a MUTU Mama or Grandmama?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Join over 60,000 mums from around the world and <a href=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-uk\/join\/\">sign up today<\/a> for Instant access.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At MUTU System, we are often asked: \u201cis it too late\u201d.\u00a0 Mums who had their babies one year ago are worried it is too late.&nbsp; Mums whose children are now at school are worried it is too late.&nbsp; Mums who now have grandchildren are worried it is too late.&nbsp; The great news is, it is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1661,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is It Too Late?
