ABC's Dream's

Welcome back if your here following my journey to a happier, healthier and fitter me. And if this is the first blog of mine you are reading don't forget to read my previous posts where I share my my starting measurements and the days up until this point. So its been 9 days since I started this journey. And these past three days haven't been the best. But very surprisingly I have lost the most combined inches these past 3 days than any other 3 day period so far. I think the stress of being the week before Christmas and the lack of food in our fridge has contributed to my old habits of not eating during the day except the scraps off my kids plates. I haven't the time or motivation to prepare healthy meals regularly during the day these past 3 days and I have come to realise that meal prepping may be the way to go, at least to make sure I have lunch and snacks for each day to eat regularly.  But where to find the time to meal prep is beyond me. Hubby works f...

Welcome back if your here following my journey to a happier, healthier and fitter me. And if this is the first blog of mine you are reading don't forget to read my previous posts where I share my starting and 3 day measurements. So these past three days have been OK except for the day we went to the beach to have some family time, what was a planned lunch of baked chicken and roasted veggies had turned into a lunch of hot chips. One thing I realised in my guilt at that point was that, although I use to enjoy hot chips on the odd occasion, truthfully they tasted like crap. So while I sat there eating out of politeness and hunger, thinking of how big of a workout I would have to do that night, I figured in itself this was a good thing. Although I haven't been on this journey very long, and even though I still had cravings for junk food. I realise that from this healthy food I have been having, that the junk tastes like, well junk! Don't know if chocolate would still ...

Welcome back if your here following my journey to a happier, healthier and fitter me. And if this is the first blog of mine you are reading don't forget to read my previous post where I share my starting measurements. So its been three days since I first measured myself, and four days since I decided it was time for me to change my lifestyle to better myself and be a better example for my two young children. In these past three days I have made a conscious effort to dramatically improve the food I eat. I can say honestly that it has not been perfect in any way, but I'm not beating myself up. I'm trying to do better and not going to let little slip ups discourage me and make me give up. At the same time I'm trying to retrain my brain so these slip ups don't recur regularly.  So filling salads have been my main meal for the past three days, usually eaten mid afternoon when the kids are having their naps and I have a chance to both prepare my meal and not ...

So I am either crazy or just sick of the way I am currently. Right now I am between 78-80kg (slight guessing from the last time I used scales, I don't actually own scales either) 155cms tall and absolutely disgusted in the way I look. So my current measurements (12/12/17) are as followed Hips: 44.5 inch  Waist: 35 inch Legs (upper thigh): 27 inch Arms: 13.5 inch Boobs: 39 inch So a bit of my background, my whole family is big, I wouldn't say obese but we are all short and solid built, big boned or just stocky. So I think genetics is a little bit to blame for my size. I have never, even at my fittest been a lean shape. Another reason for my current body shape is my wonderful children. Born 1 year and 3 days apart. I know this has made the shape of my body, well stomach area mainly really messed up. I went from the smallest I had ever been to pregnant to giving birth to pregnant a short couple months later. Another thing I am aware of that contributes to my w...
