Inspiration needed!

Ok so to give myself an idea of what I used to look like, I want to use it as motivation to be the same size, or close as, before I had kids. The lightest I weighed was about 68kg. Was a size 12 and though I wasn't particularly happy with my body shape, looking back, that would be unreal to look like that again. So here goes, some old piccies of me :)

I'm going to try and get side by side comparison's of then and now. And then get some progress shots happening.

Ok will try and put a side by side pic in:

Hitting the gym!

So this past month has been uber hectic with birthday parties and various events and kids being sick which means not a lot of time to stick to my regular gym routine or eating plan. Thankfully things are settled down now and i'm making a concerted effort to haul my ass to the gym and get moving. So far this week i've done Pilates on Monday, a quick walk on the tready on Tuesday, Pump class on Friday, and tomorrow i'm going to attempt pump, then back it up straight after with yoga. So i'm looking forward to that. Then on Sunday I intend on going to an adrenoswim class as i haven't been since the start of the month, and it was so much fun!

The main problem areas i need to work on are my bingo wings and my mummy tummy, both of which are the hardest areas to lose weight from apparantly! Super frustrating.

Will weigh in again on Monday, and have to try and get some progress pics. Will probably wait till i reach a milestone before getting pics. My sister told me today she weighs 71kg (we're twins) and she's only about 6kgs away from her pre-preg weight which is unreal. I'd love to be her starting weight!! 71kgs would be heaven right about now, but i know i just gotta keep plugging away and i'll get there!

My poor neglected blog!!

So far my blog has come in dribs and drabs and so has my weight loss. The frustrating battle with weight begins and then ends so quickly for me. Things get in the way, kids get sick any sort of upset to the momentum and it all flies out the window.

I'm posting so that i get some renewed motivation to stick to this till i reach my goal! I have lost 1.2kg in the last 2 weeks and stepped up my gym program. I'm hoping i start seeing some rewards and watch that weight decrease! The two weeks since being at the gym have felt great, i feel like i've lost cm's so the weight on the scales although it's going slowly in the right direction i'm going to not get disheartened that it's not happening quicker.

Here is some inspiration so that i stick to my goals, i do not want to be looking like this ever again!!

This was at my neice's christening, so it's about a year ago, but my weight hasn't really changed much since then, a couple of kilo's here or there but nothing major.

Shall take some updated pics of me soon and try and get some progress photos happening.

So to restart again, my current weight is 86.6kgs, next goal is 76kg, after that it's 68kg. So i have a way to go yet, but it's doable, just have to stick with it!!

No feckin excuses!!!!

Magic Monday!

So I want to be positive and start the week on a good note. The last 3 or so days i've been really pretty good at sticking to my healthy eating and i'm feeling much better, lots less bloated and yukky and feeling healthier already. I did my first gym workout yesterday and despite being super sore when i work up this morning a nice hot shower loosened me up and i'm feeling much better. Need to try and do some stretching and ab exercises today. Also yesterday I went and prepared 4 dinners for me with some nice lemon, herb and garlic chicken and veges and some mashed cauliflower, so that on days I feel too buggered to bother cooking, i know I can defrost and reheat something healthy. It's funny i've also noticed that even a few days in, my appetite has reduced which is great, cause I always used to feel hungry. And also tracking with my fitness pal has helped too to make sure i'm eating enough calories and sticking to my healthy eating plan. So I weighed in today and have lost 800grams which i'm quite happy about, as that included one day of exercise and about  80% sticking to the healthy diet, so knowing that I can improve on my efforts i'm hoping I can lose more weight in the next few weeks. But so far off to a good start.

I have some pics I took on the 1st of January, i'm going to upload them soon.

So Week 1 - 89kgs

Week 2 - 88.2kgs (-0.8)

Looking forward to a healthy week, have organised my meals for the week, and have planned some gym dates, so just gotta stick to it.
