Making Time....... For Life

I hope everyone had a great week. I did for the most part.
Saturday.......
Hubby gave me a sleep in and got Little Miss up. Then they brought me a very tasty and healthy breakfast, poached egg on grain toast, which I ate in bed. My Gorgeous Huby told me he is proud of the change in me and what I am doing. Everything seems worth it!
After cleaning up I did some yoga and strength training with the little Miss. She thinks it's very funny, nothing like having your 2 & 1/2 year old laughing at you while your exercising!
Miss went for a nap so Hubby and I jumped on the wii fit. An hour later and I was pooped!
Did the jogging a couple of times, arghhh the pain. I honestly don't think I have ever jogged properly, unless there was chocolate involved! :/
We had a fab dinner- Nachos, made healthy.
It felt great to eat something that I love but made healthier.
We had- wholemeal lebanese bread, cut into chips and baked til crunchy.
- greek yoghurt in guacamole instead if sour cream
- half vegie and half mince instead of full mince.
- tiny bit of cheese in top
-and to top it off served with salad!
It was soooo good.

Nachos the healthy way. Yummo

Sunday...
Had a rest day today. I was so exhausted and sore, I was aching all over. I was sore in muscles I didn't even know I had. My gorgeous Hubby again came to the rescue and gave me a massage.
We went to a Birthday party in the afternoon and I was so proud that I didnt eat any nibbles stuff. Although I did have a small piece of Birthday Cake :/

Monday...
ZUMBA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited to be getting back to Zumba! It has been a really long time since I have done it.
I went for a 45 walk with some lovely ladies before heading off to a class...
WHOA, I forgot how exhausting and exhilarating it is. I couldn't keep the smile off my face the whole time even when I felt like I was going to collapse like a pile of Jelly on the floor. I kept pushing and gave my all, shaking my booty for the world to see, and you know what I was having so much fun I didn't care if my wobbly bits were wobbling a little too much. I felt like me again.
I managed to burn almost 1000 Calories today!!! That is amazing.

Tuesday....
Once again My Gorgeous Hubby (shall we just call him MGH) showed me how much he supports me by buying me a Polar Heart rate monitor watch! Awesome, it will show me exactly how many calories Im burning. cant wait til it arrives.

Thursday.....
Australia Day
Had a BAD day today. It started well, I did my Zumba DVD and yoga and strentgth training. then I Made us Sausage Sambos for lunch in honour of Australia Day. I bought white bread for them as it doesn't feel right to eat a sausage sizzle with grain bread. I have not eaten white bread in almost a year and boy did I pay for it!!! I felt so bloated and sick after. We had vegie and meat spag bol for dinner and I just had a small bit of sauce, I kept feeling worse and ended up going to bed at 8pm!
No More White Bread in this house!!!!

friday... Today
The good news about going to bed so early was that I got an awesome sleep, Little Miss slept in til 7.30am so I had almost 12 hours! I felt fab and after brekky got into 20 mins of Zumba before cleaning the house.
More great news is that my watch arrived today, very exciting, I couldn't wait to give it a go so Zumba again. then when Little Miss went down for her sleep I decided to do a bit of circuit training in the yard. I was jogging, walking, push ups, situps, squats, leg lifts for 40 mins til I couldn't move anymore, then cooled down with 15 mins of yoga. Felt good.


The Most exciting news I forgot to put is that on Tuesday I weighed myself and I have lost 3.4KGS in 1 week!!!!!!!!!!!! Totally awesome news!

The Beginning of the end...... of being the fat one

Hello All!
my name is Skye and I am FAT!
not just fat, i am unhealthy, unfit, I overeat, I emotional eat. I am also in denial about all this.... that is, I was in denial until this past Tuesday.
Sitting on the couch reading Womans Day when i came across Michelle Bridge's 12 week body transformation, curious I looked up the website and was hooked!
I decided if I was going to do this I would put my all into it
First step- to the scales, it had been a while. I was in no way prepared for them to laugh gleefully in my face and scream out 100.7 kgs!!!!  i was disgusted in myself.
How did this happen?
Why did I let it get this bad?
the answers came to me, though I didn't want to hear them.
It happened because you don't exercise and eat right, don't take care of yourself.
I let it get this bad because I was in denial (more than Cleopatra)- i know its a bad joke, but I like it.
I always said "If I ever get to 90kgs then I'll worry and do something" then i got to 90 kg an the excuse was, "I don't actually look too bad, I'll give it a go if I ever get to 100kgs"
Gah!! I was so stupid.
So now, I am putting it out there for everyone too see. I am not giving myself a chance to give up.
The more people I tell the harder I will work to prove to myself and anybody who wants to write me off, that I can do this!
I am making a Public PROMISE to Me, my wonderful Hubby and our Beautiful Daughter and to my amazing Family and Friends that I will-

• Change my eating habits to better and healthier food choices
• Exercise every day
• Spend more time doing active things as a family
• Commit to Michelles 12WBT, give it my all, and complete it.

All I ask in return is that you all think positive thoughts for me and stay beside me, even when it's rough.
I will be updating my progress on here frequently.
Time to sign off, it's after midnight.
Toodles, xxxx
