So since my first blog on the 27th April till today i have lost 3 inch which is about 8cm.I am also under the weight i was after i had Lilly(which i think since i started the blog is about 3kg) which was my sort time goal to get to the weight i was after i had her but 1kg under is even better!! Friday was a great day went to look for a new pair of jeans.. first pair i tried on fit (hasn't happened in a long time) the i went to Jay Jays and tried on a smaller pair then i would normally try and they fit nicely i jumped up and down a bit LOL. I got the first pair i tried on cause they were cheaper i will spend a bit more once i am to the weight i want to be at. With buying the jeans and just looking in the mirror i have noticed some weight loss, which makes me so proud of myself! I still have a long way to go but i know with in myself i will get this time.I have set another short term goal for myself and hoping i can get there in the next 2 months it is very doable and realistic. If i keep doing what i am doing and pick up the exercise(which i have been doing) i will be there by the end of the year!Next school term i will be starting up doing Zumba on a Tuesday at midday in Cranebrook with one of my mum friends from the school so that is gunna be awesome.Still going strong wit the boxing sessions but i think going to have to up the work out a bit more was barely sore on the Sat morning so it is time to step it up i thinks! Loving it still though, it is just so much fun and the fact you are burning calories is a bonus!!!
I think the thing i am most prod about is the fact other then boxing so far i have been doing this on my own... No gyms,not personal trainers(again other then boxing and that is recent),no weight watchers or anything along those lines. I said i wanted to do this myself and i am,well clearly to and extent! I am feeling great and starting to see myself as looking great. I am so much fitter then i have been in a long time and i am even thinking of doing the river walk this week and see how i go with that!
Must say last week was a bit of a stressful week just with the kids but i didn't go buy chocolate or anything i powered through and got on with it. I only walked and did boxing last week but this week hoping to have boxing,river walk and maybe some yoga at home or something i will figure it out but i am so motivated to get this happening faster. If anyone ever wants to go for a walk or anything let me know i will generally be up for it.
Gunna head off dinner to cook!

Update time
I know i haven't blogged for a while...Honestly haven't been motivated enough to after the week i had.
So i had a bit of a rough week thanks to some bills and lack of money so i was down and out for a few days which means no exercise and some milky ways got the better of me lol. But come Friday i was back to my chipper self and got stuck back into it. Friday arvo i had another fantastic boxing session with the awesome Mick!! and then Sat i jumped on the treadmill for about 15mins(i know not long but didn't want to over to id and make myself even more sore). Sunday didn't do anything but today i happily walked to pick Jack up from school,although walking back Jack make it a pain in the ass!
Starting to feel really good and energetic again which i LOVE, eating small portions again and i am so eager to get past the weight i was after i had Lil which is not far off so if i keep going i will be there in a week or 2 which YAY.Find it so much easier to just pick up if i slip but i guess if i never slipped with the stress i would have thrown in the towel by now. I know i can do this and i am doing and i just need to keep telling myself it will happen slowly but i guess good thing come to those who wait.. and for this i am so willing to wait and just see once i get to where i want to be!
Things atm are so all over the place with bills and money,friend and family but even with the bad it is all good and i am getting through and getting stronger and more confidence everyday. I love that i have so much support it is a wonderful feeling I am so lucky to have the friends and family i do i would be lost with out every single one of them. I have recently been hanging out and getting to know a friend of mine even more and he is a wonderful guy, I feel lucky i get to know him a bit better. Also after what feels like forever i got to see Tammie and Markiss today was so good seeing them finally!
I love all of you more then words could say i am such a lucky gal!!! As you can all tell i am feeling very lovey tonight LOL.
Well i am gunna go and watch the rest of Beauty and the Beast.. Ahhh if only life could be like a Disney move!!!

Today i found something new
Today was a good day.... Feeling a bit sore but good! A wonderful friend of mine Mick is a personal trainer and he was wonderful enough to offer me a half hour boxing session and today was the day it happened. Was really good had a bit of a rocky middle after warming up i got over heated and felt rather unwell but a 5 mins sit down i got back up and we continued! It was so much fun and i loved learning something new.I can see me really getting into it the more i do it... Which i will be doing!! I am so grateful i got the opportunity to give it a try and i had such a wonderful and supportive teacher through it all. It has definitely kicked starts my exercising again though which YAY. Not sure if i will get much of a chance to do much tomorrow but Sunday for sure think me and jack might go for a walk to start our day.
I am in for a very big weekend and trying not over eat and not have to much junk is going to be a challenge and a half but even if i do it is not the end of the world i will just pick back up the next day and just make sure i exercise for a bit longer the next day. I am actually amazed at how busy my weekend is going to be but i know it will be an awesome 3 days!
I have been having a few marshmallows for 'dessert' and those things are evil... they are so very tasty and one good thing is they are fat free don't feel as bad if i eat one to many LOL. I love that i am no longer craving chocolate or baked goods.. they still rock my world but i can have them in small doses and not that often! I am really hoping in the next month i can maybe get a smaller size pair of pants and they will fit ok... it will be hard but sooooo worth it! Clearly you will all know how i go,well the ones who read this :D
Well am offski to watch a bit more Smallville then bed busy few days ahead. Stay safe everyone. Love you all

Digging my heels in
Today i have done ok....I haven't eaten to much or anything bad. Although i wanted to so badly get a heap of freshly made still warm donuts today while i was out they smelt so good but i just kept walking!
I am thinking i need to get someone to take some photos of me now.... so once i have lost the weight and toned stuff(well as much as i can) i can see the difference. I know i will hate the photo of now but i think seeing it will make me work that much harder. Plus i would like to see the huge change i will have gone through doing this for myself. I even decided that once the weight is off i am going to rustle up enough money to go and get glamour shots done of myself.. i have never done anything like it but i have always wanted to. Only thing stopping me was my weight so once it is off i will get those photos as a kind of reward for myself for doing such a huge thing.
I know some people don't see it as a huge thing but for me chocolate and baked goods are my addiction,it's my thing so getting past having huge amounts everyday is a massive thing to over come. Also getting this weight off has always been a challenge i have had this weight since i was pregnant with Jack and because i was in a loving relationship i didn't see how big was till months after we broke up cause as you do,you see yourself through their eyes and once that wore off i cried for days at how big i was. Mind you from then till now i am about 15-20kg lighter then i was but still i would like to be even less i want to be healthy and for my son not to tell me how big my belly is and give it a few years and if i am still big Lilly will be saying it. I still have a pair of size 12 jeans i will one day fit back into lol i love these jeans i will never part with them so i may as well lose the weight and wear them to death LOL.
Speaking of jeans i went to K-mart to get myself a new pair of jeans as the ones i have are getting rather lose and i don't have a belt that fits atm (it just doesn't fit) so i thought it is $20 for a new pair stuff it will get some... i got to try them on and all there sizes have changed! I mean WTF???? K-mart always had realistic sizes and i loved it... Cheap clothes that are comfy you cant go wrong but now ti has all changed i was devastated and i refuse to buy a pair of pants that say one size when i know i shouldn't be buying that big size :( i will keep on wearing these jeans and just keep pulling them up till i see a bit more of a loss with my waist and then i will go on a jeans hunt somewhere else!
Well i am gunna go do my scarey mum thing cause jack wont sleep.....

Battle time
I have been really struggling the past few days i have been dealing with a lot someone of it I won't go into it cause it is personal but some stuff i will say. My kids god love them but lately have been pushing my buttons big time :( . Jack i must say is getting better one of this biggest problems has been sleep but i am trying something new and it seems to be working rather well which YAYAYAYAY. As for Lilly i think little miss is getting a new tooth and isn't sleeping the best so put those together and well all i hear is winging *pull hair out* I get this year has been such a change for us all and yes we are still adapting to life and things will be hard for a bit longer. I am just trying to get through the best i know how. It sounds horrible but i am not used to the sooking... I don't do well with sooking so it has been really hard with Lilly of late,We will play and i will try and snuggle and lots more but if she is going to sook oh boy will she!
From all of this i finally had a night to myself on Sat night which was wonderful i had some drinks,nice dinner and something a bit naughty.... that was fine then i had something naughty the next night and then Tuesday night.... the past few days i haven't been able to stop eating and from this i managed to put on an inch and i am guessing the 1kg i lost just last week :( . I have had my days of giving in but as of tomorrow my will power kicks back in and i will lose what i put on and hopefully more. I really need to get stuck into the exercise as well. I know how good i feel but it is just doing it. I am hoping tomorrow afternoon i can jump on the treadmill it is just me and Jack then.
I know i can do this i have been doing it but i think I need a bit more of a boost and get these kilos off a bit faster. Past few days i have been feeling so fat and chunky i hate it even though some of my pants are still lose on me :S . I have even started taking some vitamins because i know i am lacking some things and i know they are good for you. Plus i am hoping it will help give me a bit more energy cause i really need some more,wish i could bottle up some of Jack's LOL.
I know there are people out there having a much harder time then me and i am grateful for what i have i am just having a bump in the road at the moment but i am making myself get past it move on and make things better for myself.
Going to go maybe get some sleep

So....
I know it has been a while since i blogged.... Bee some what busy and just haven't had the motivation to type a lot.The past few weeks have been interesting and stressful but i have hung in there and not eaten a heap of junk food! Although i haven't really been exercising that much but i am trying to do it a bit more. I have been sticking to the small portions which i am finding rather easy now a days YAY.
I have been keeping up with the measuring and i weighed myself this morning and........... I have lost another 2 inches and i have lost 1kg,i know 1kg isn't a lot but 2 inches in just under 2 weeks is awesome!! I am starting to notice a bit of a difference but i know it isn't drastic but one day it will be and i am going to love it!I am happy though i also have another pair of pants i can wear now cause they fit me... well they are a little bit lose but nothing a belt cant fix!
A few weekends ago i some what cleaned out my garage and found all these clothes i have been searching for for ages,i am feeling better about having some warmer clothes and the more weight i lose the more options of clothes i have which i am really loving. I know i still have a lot to lose and a lot more will power and hard times but just knowing i can do this is making it that little bit easier even when things are not great. Also helps i have been keeping myself busy with making things which i am loving... Feels great to see something you have made from scratch!!!
I went for a job interview today,not quite sure how i went but i am hoping if i get this job it will be the start of better things to come,i think it is time my year does a 180 and starts getting good again. Although the weight lose is helping with that but if i got a job means i will have some extra money to help get me back in front,i will be getting out of the house a lot more and i will have a break from miss Lilly as much as i love her i think she needs to be away from me a bit more she is rather clingy and needy atm. If i don't get the job though such is life i will just keep looking! I am sure something will come up eventually hehehe.
Well gunna go for now, i will try and update more frequently!!!
