My journey back to target and better health..

Hello! I'm here again and I hope to stay this time. I'm rubbish at diaries, I always drift off onto other threads, get chatting and then forget to come back to my diary! If I do, i'm sorry!

Seems so long ago that I got to target, I was so overweight after the birth of my 1st child and I lost just shy of 3 stone taking me to target of 8st2. I'm only short, 4"11 of short so at 8st2 I finally looked good, I wished i'd of done more exercise though as I was very skiny in the face and not on my legs and people said i'd lost too much weight, I hadn't, it was just where it went from!

This time I want to lose weight with the help of SW and exercise, I have had another baby since I got to target and my body has taken a bit of a beating but i'm hopeful I can lose inches from most parts of my body! That reminds me I will do some measuring when AF has gone.

I'm going to attempt to do SW from home with the tools that I have learnt, truth is due to hubby's shifts I can only attend 2 out of every 4 meetings so I want to try it at home and see how I get on first, I can always join if I struggle.

I do have a health issue at the moment and it's something that I hope will be sorted soon, I'm not 100% sure if it affects my weight loss or lack of at the moment I should say, however I wont be using it as an excuse.
I have an ovarian cyst, its a dermoid cyst which are common and not 'a nasty one', that said I am getting daily discomfort, period pain, pelvic pain which radiates around to my back, lower back pain and a general low mood to boot. I've felt like this since Sept 16 so it's been a hard few months, for me and my nearest! I'm meeting with the gyno again 24th Feb where I hope to go on the waiting list for this 'thing' to be removed. My quality of life sure has changed since the pain started, I was up to running 5 miles 3 times a week last August so I feel really unfit now, I won't be able to exercise after the op, hell I wont be able to lift my 16month old son!

It's going to be tough but i'm ready to feel like me again.

Thanks for reading x
 
Welcome back. :)
 
You see I did drift off! Naught naughty!! The last few weeks have been tough, i'm gaining and loosing the same 2lbs but anyway I went for my first run in 6 months at the weekend and although a lot slower I ran the whole 3.14miles without stopping, chuffed was an understatement!

Today I've done day1 level1 of 30ds, although I cant do it everyday I plan on keeping at it, must take some measurements!!
 
Ok so wed's was a rest day and thurs was my first time back with my old running club, it was a slower pace but they are training for a 10k so I thought i'd go along and just see how I got on.

Very pleased with running just over 6.5 miles!

Had another rest day yesterday I really wanted to do 30ds or a little run but i'm not feeling very well :(

I went to the docs on thurs to continue my quest for finding out why I've been feeling unwell since last sept. She felt my tummy and agreed with me that it feels quite lumpy in places, I've been getting extreme bloating but the pain is what I really cant cope with. I'm waiting for another scan which will also check if my Ovarian cyst has grown or shrunk, but mainly to look at my small bowel. She has also referred me to the gastro specialist and in the mean time given me some tablets but I don't think I can stomach them!

Think i'll stick to peppermint tea and up the water and get off meds for a bit!
 
I did it again! Wondered off, except I have nothing to report, no exercise and haven't religiously stuck to plan either.

9st4 this morning and really want today to start the week with a perfect day. I've been out walking the last few days and I have the kids today. Going to try to fit in an exercise video by Joe Wicks as my sil swears by them, even if its a 5 min one. If she can do it I can... She has a 4month old baby!
