The change in me

Hi people

This it me last april 2012
 

 

 This was me christmas eve 2011

This was me october 2012.










Can anyone else see the difference. All I know is that last year at the start of my slimming journey Back in october, I was told by my doctor that if I didnt do anything about my weight I would most likely be having to use a walking stick or wheel chair. As I found it so hard to walk, climbing the stairs was so painful, my back hurt so I found it difficult to hold my 2yr old son and that really hurt.
So I decided to enjoy christmas and made some small changes to start with.  I started watching what I eat and used a small plate I also wrote everything down I also started blogging and doing vlog on youtube I also started using myfitness pal and it worked.
The next step was to get me moving. So I started walking to the local shops and back at first would Take me an hour now I can do it in half hour yay me.  I used to hate taking my 2yr old to play group it was just up the road again at first it took me half an hour just to get there. The first time I managed to get there in 10 minutes the woman at the desk must of thought I was crazy, till I explained why I was jumping up and down with joy. But I now can walk quite far it takes me now 20 minutes to walk a mile and a half . I'm not so scared to jog for the bus. Not that I'm very quick but I can do it and Im so proud of my self.
I have lost so far 51 pound in weight. 4ins from my waist and 5ins from my hips.  I did get stuck were my weight wasn't moving. So I started doing slimming world back in august then 4 weeks ago I joined A group in new malden and everyone is so nice and helpful  and the lady who runs it is great and happy to listen and anscer questions.
So I'm in a happy place at the moment.

Hope you enjoy reading. Please leave a message on ideas you may have even questions. if i can do it anyone can.
I'm going to start blogging more so watch this space
Take care

Back on track what i am up to and my plans for my vlogs

I'm back and my plans

Hi every it's been ages so I'm getting back on the ball.

So I've  been trying to do a plan this it what Ive got  so far.
1) Make sure I get back on a healthy eating  ( over the summer I have totally lost the plot. Lol)
2) Do something  constructive every morning with jasper before he goes to nursary. 
3) Start cooking from scratch and planning meals and treats on a low budget.
4) Restart making stuff and plan a craft table for Christmas fair.

So far this is my starting plan I think it's a enough to be going on with.

With my weight loss it seems to be going ok due to be weighed on Friday so we will see I think at the moment I'm losing more inches the pound but that is good as I can fit in to smaller clothes again.  So I'm a happy girl to day 

Ok this was taken over the summer not one of my best but I can see the difference  shame about the grumpy face haha    

Hi I'm back

OK
How is everyone



My house at the moment is bug house everyone seems to be ill with something.
Today alone we have had
Sickness
Tummy aches
headaches
high temps
and grumpy children which is OK as there ill.

my 2 poorly boys

But I have decided that teenagers are the worst patients going my 14 year old just moaned all day.(he was sick but he was fine after) but moan moan moan guess he takes after me LOL.
But my ds3 was as quiet as a mouse did as he was asked took his medication and took him self to bed.. when I went to check on him he said he hurt all over specially his head his tummy hurt. He felt sick and ds2 was giving him a head ache so he wanted to go to bed before ds2 went up. my heart went out to him poor baby. :( he even turn down watch Kong fu panda with me as it one of his Favorites.

It always amazes me how the weather can affect your mood today it has been dark and drizzly and i have been so low. I Hate it when I get like this at least I no how to dig myself out now which is a bonus.
we went for a walk down to the shops today that helped it was good to get out. we were only out for an hour but we were out so that all that mattered. When I got ds4 out of his buggy he only walked a little way and got back in to eat an apple. So that was good.
