New year again, and another new start!

So I've been at this weight loss game since I had my 3rd son Mitchell in Oct 2011, I started in 2012 and didn't get very far. Then in 2013 I started up again, and got a little way and then came unstuck again. We all got whooping cough and I got it the worst, so it wrote me off for 6 months and any progress was well and truly out the window. I am however grateful that I didn't put on much weight, it pretty much stayed the same with no exercise or watching my eating. So I'm starting it all over again. My weight at the start of Jan was 84kg, the second week I was 82.8kg, so I've lost 1.2kg so far this year. In total I lost 8.4kgs since starting this journey in 2011. It's a long process and one i'm well and truly done with starting and not finishing! So this is the year I finally reach my goals. 68kg or thereabouts, i'm coming for you!!

Here is an updated pic that I'll start off with to keep track.

So far this week I've been to the gym twice, and been to an adrenoswim class, tomorrow I'm aiming to get back into pump class and then a yoga or body balance session on Saturday to finish my first week. I'm logging with my fitness pal to keep on track, i've also bought myself an active diary for a 12 week challenge, to set myself goals and commit to exercise. I've also splurged and bought myself a new Polar Fitness Heart rate monitor, I can't wait to get it so that I can track my calories burned while I'm exercising to give me extra motivation. I'm also using the Lose baby weight smoothies and getting recipe Ideas from there. I have about 17kgs to go, but i'd be happy to be under 75kg and then reasses, so, so far it's a good start, just have to keep the momentum going! :)
