And hopefully this time a diary that I maintain! I must admit I get side tracked by other threads and as I have limited time during the day I'm going to try and kick start my journey by starting a new diary!
So I had a fight with myself last night and it seems to be a regular wed's fight. Do I go to class? Do I go and just weigh? Do I pull a sicky or say my car's broken down.....THAT Fight! Somethings wrong, something has changed for me in group and I find myself becoming THAT girl in the corner tutting at 'Oh and Eat 3 pizzas and I still lost weight this week', its not a nice place to be especially because its none of my business how she lost weight eating pizzas, for all I know she may have eating issues.
Last night I booked yet another holiday which takes me to 3 or even 4, and I only re-joined in Jan!
I'm not going to ramble about my whole SW past, the figures show for themselves that the plan does work, I can do it, and hopefully I will again!
Target weight - 8st 2
Pre-Pregnancy weight - 8st 7
Todays weight - 9st 8
So I had gone out of target with a few bad months, holiday and then just didn't reign it in before christmas and then I found out I was pregnant.
My beautiful baby boy is now 6 months old and yes in the ideal world i'd be back to pre-pregnancy weight by the time he's 9 months old. Can I lose a stone by then? I'm going to try!
Today I have my first ever Personal Training session! To say i'm scared is the understatement of 2016, but then again, I have delivered 2 babies naturally so I can do this! Each time I want to vommit or quit I need to remember this.........Disney Land Paris in July!!!!!
I want to be lighter and fitter, I want to have pictures taken and not think 'Oh christ why didn't I lose weight', instead I want to be EXTREMELY proud of myself and say 'Look at what I achieved in, wait is it only 14 weeks? Aggghhh, better get moving!'
So my plan is to start exercising, something I haven't done since I was 16 weeks pregnant and I ran my last 5k without stopping. Right there, that's where I want to be and soon! I do love running but it doesn't like me, in fact it hates me! It hates my knees and that's one of the main reason's for going to this PT, I see him running around town with someone puffing and panting a little behind him........and that's just for the warm up
I'm desperate to re-join my old running club too and with that going on I just don't think going to a class one night a week is even doable, especially if I don't really like it?! I won't make a decision just yet though, and silly to lose the holidays I have left, perhaps I could just go a few more times to ensure I stay on track!
Decided to take some measurements this morning and intend on re-taking after a few weeks of losing weight and exercise:
Arms - 11.75 inch
Calf - 14
Thigh - 23.5
Hips - 41 (Eeek!)
Naval - 35 (But its my baby belly, I have an excuse!)
Under bust - 30.5
Overall that puts me at wearing a size 14 in jeans and I was a 10, on the top i can wear a 10 but I don't feel comfortable, whereas I was an 8 before.
I've got some work to do haven't I! This is step 1, today i'm feeling really great, which always helps! If I can grab half an hour today I plan on raiding the freezer/cupboards to write a food plan based on what I've already got as money is a bit tight living of Maternity Pay and if I want a PT session and running club fee's I need to sort my spending out too! I shall be back at work soon though, in May i'm back to 4 days a week and although i'm dreading leaving my boy need's must and getting back to it will be totally fine, or so I tell myself daily!
Right, that's the boys up and it's time to start the day! Have a great one and I hope to speak with you soon, if I can lift my arm later I might even post how my PT session went
