Former TV host Tracy Wanjiru has opened up on some of the changes she has experienced since welcoming her baby two years ago.

Sharing with her fans on Instagram, the bubbly radio presenter revealed that before having a child she had promised herself to deliver and immediately embark on her fitness journey to snap back into her previous body but unfortunately that was not the case.

Instead of starting on her fitness journey as planned, the social media influencer admits she opted to sleep or do other things whenever she got any free time and did not bother about her body.

“I always used to say how I’d immediately get back in shape after giving birth. Whoa, I was so wrong. After birth, if I had any free time (like there is anything like free time as a mom) I would have rather spent it on SLEEP! The severe exhaustion was real (moms get it). So needless to say, working out wasn’t a priority. Not to mention, the serious back pain I experienced,” she wrote.

Embarking on the journey two years on, Tracy hopes her hard work at the gym will help her get in shape and hopefully restore her old body back.

“I’m now back in the gym after 2 years and I couldn’t be any prouder of myself. I’m no longer trying to be the strongest, the fittest or the best-looking girl at the gym. I’m giving myself grace knowing that I can’t be the same person that I used to be. I just want to make sure that I show up every day and do the best I can to take care of my physical and mental health. The other things will only be added advantages,” she added.

Tracy caught netizens by surprise after announcing she had welcomed a child two years ago.

“This has been the best two years of my life, in the best HOOD ever, MOTHERHOOD! Where shopping runs end up being 85% your child’s (ok maybe more), where your bag is no longer yours (acts as a secondary storage space for your child’s toys and other items they see valuable), where your YouTube playlist is no longer what you used to jam to and is now replaced by the best melodies and where your body is no longer the same because you carried and birthed a little angel which is a true symbol of the embodiment of your strength, resilience, and devotion.

I am grateful to God every day that He chose me to carry this great responsibility, this greatest act of selflessness and to enjoy this true labour of love. I used to hear this all the time, that being a mother is the best thing that will ever happen to any woman, but I wasn’t prepared for how true it is and also much more it truly is. I love being a mommy. If you didn’t know now you know,” she revealed.

The media personality was off social media for close to a year, an experience she admits she enjoyed.

“I am back on social media, it has been a long time coming, it’s almost been a year. To be honest I struggled coming back reason being I don’t know how social media works anymore, how do people talk, how do people dress, these transitions are going crazy, how are people making all these transitions. What is happening on TikTok, I don’t have TikTok till now. But this year has been such an amazing year.”
