Tuesday

Had a bit of a full on 2 days, Since yesterday arvo Lilly has been so clingy she has been screaming and crying... poor girl is either getting a tooth or is sick but if she isn't any better tomorrow morning off to the dr for her :( . With her being so off i had to cancel what would have been my first second session a week with Mick, but there is always next week my baby girl comes first. But with missing that once both kidlets were asleep tonight i jumped on the treadmill and jogged on it for about 25 min i didn't slow down and slowly made it a bit faster over time hehe the last few mins i made it supers fast and ran lol, that was fun i love having a treadmill at home i can wear my really daggy working out clothes.Was thinking if it isn't too windy and Lil is doing ok might go for a walk tomorrow. Been doing pretty good with cutting down with the carbs.... and after weighing myself today i have lost another kilo in about 4 days YAY!! Feeling really good about everything at the moment even with a few challenges!
So some big news i officially have a new job i sign the contract on Friday,i am looking forward to when it starts which will be the start of August. It wont be smooth sailing at first cause it is somewhat starting my own business but once it all starts happening it will get better! Also will help me keep fit and help lose weight so always a bonus!!
So here is what i have eaten the past 2 days.............

Lately

Most of last week i was sick so didn't work out i spent most of it in bed and not eating a hell of a lot. I was going to cancel my boxing session but i decided to go a head with it and i am glad i did! I felt so much better after it think working out that hard help get the last of it out of my system thank god! So after i the session Micka and I were talking saying i had reached my first short term goal so i set myself a new one which it to lose another 7-8kg in the next 2 months.... but with talking i am going to try and lose that in a month! It is gunna be tough buy i know i can do it and if i don't lose the whole lot in that time then there you go i will just keep going! I am going to try and eat less carbs so if anyone has any ideas of alternative things to put with dinner or lunch i am open for suggestions! I am so motivated it isn't funny!
I didn't do any exercise yesterday but today the kids,Mick and I went for a walk to the shops and back that is about 4 1/2km and very hilly lol,feeling exhausted but good after it though. Tomorrow think i might give my yoga dvd a go haven't done it in a long time might jump on the treadmill too! See how we go.Must admit i am loving the weather makes you wanna get outside and do stuff. Hoping the weather stays like this for all the holidays,means i can take Jack to the park to play and we can kick a ball around and such.

Ok so if anyone has any food ideas or recipes for me let me know i greatly appreciate it. Going to go play with the kidlets!

Here it is folks!

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.....
