Day 4

Good afternoon everyone.
The past few days have been busy for us so havn't been able to get on the computer to update.
Went for a walk yesterday and ended up getting rained on. It was sunny with a few clouds when I left. Within half an hour I was drenched since the rain was heavy. David ended up coming to pick me up since my shoes and socks were wet as well and I was starting to get blisters. I managed to get 5.6km in though so could have been worse.
Even though the challenge hasn't started yet I am learning things already. Especially with the food diary. I didn't realise how much bad stuff we were really eating...I guess unless you write it down you don't think twice about it....Now when I look at what we have eaten I freak out. Things will definately be changing around here.

Below is my Day 5 food diary...(Sunday)

Breakfast: 1 x 250ml chocolate up & go with 1 banana + cappuccino with lite milk and 1tsp sugar.
Lunch: Bowl of home made veggie soup with 1 bread roll with olive oil spread + can of coke zero.
Dinner: 5 pieces dominoes double bacon cheeseburger pizza on the deep pan base + can of coke zero
Cup of tea with lite milk and 1tsp sugar
Looking at that just makes me sick.
 Although today really hasn't been much better since had left over pizza for lunch but have been drinking more water today than most other days.

7 days until pre-season starts..I cannot wait. Well i'm off to go clean the bathroom then housework is done for the day.

I'll Be There

Below is a poem I wrote not long ago called I'll Be There.

When the world just isn’t right
And you need a shoulder to cry on
Just look inside your heart
And I will be there.

Sometimes life can be so cruel
And you really feel like you can’t take any more
Just look inside your heart
And I will be there.

When the light it seems so dark
And your life has lost its spark
Just look inside your heart
And I will be there.

Just remember I will be there
No matter where you are.
No matter what it is,
No matter when you need me
I will be there.

When the world just isn’t right
And you need a shoulder to cry on
Just look inside your heart
And I will be there.

Yesterday I walked 4.56km with Hubby (David) and Sophie in the pram. Was a nice walk, we walked to the supermarket instead of driving. I intend on going for another walk this afternoon and get back on the rower machine. All up so far with challenge #3 have done 11.5km so still have 18.5km to go to reach the 30km target and 2 days to do it in. I will try my best, but somehow I can't see me reaching my goal. I will try even harder next week to reach my goal.

I have been wanting to do a couple of short courses at TAFE so I got on the website last night and had a look at the dates and costs which are not too bad. One of the courses is a cake decorating course that you learn to make different icings and sugar flowers etc. This is something i want to get into as a career option. Open my own special occasions store that sells gifts and cakes etc.

Day 2

Day to of my blog is about food.
Challenge number 4 in the 12WBT warmup is to keep a diary of all food and drink consumed.
Well yesterday was a bad day. I really need to cut down on how much I eat.
Yesterday I had 1 x 250ml Banana Up&Go for breakfast with a cappuccino made with Lite milk and 1 tsp sugar. For lunch we had Oporto where I had a orporto burger meal which came to 760 Calories. Thats half a days calories in one meal.  For dinner had 2 x grilled chicken burgers on wholemeal rolls with lettuce, tomato, cheese, bacon, egg, tomato sauce and hollandaise sauce and a can of coke zero. Then I had a cup of tea with milk and 1tsp sugar before bed.
I can see already why I struggle to lose weight. Not only am I lazy but I eat to much bad things and not enough exercise. I missed exercise yesterday so need to catch up today. Once the baby wakes up I will definately be going for a long walk. Need to do 30km for the week and so far have only done about 8km and have 3 days left after today.

Today has been a bit better food wise but theres still some improvements that need to be made.
I will post some more exciting things later. :)

Day 1

Day 1:
I should really tell you all a little about myself to start with. I was born on 14th January 1987 weighing 7lb 11oz @ 12:18pm with thick red hair which I still have to this day.
I grew up in a place called Bendigo in Victoria up until 2009 when I moved to Newcastle to live with my husband (He was my boyfriend at the time). In April 2010 we got married which was one of the best days of my life. Then last year in 2011 after 14 months of trying to conceive with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and use of a fertility medication called Clomid, we conceived our beautiful daughter who was born in November 2011. She is now 5 months old.

I am doing the 12WBT challenge to change my life for me since I have always put everyone else first and weight just went up and up over the years. Now I am determined more than ever to lose the weight and get fit n healthy. I want to watch my child grow up and have our grandchildren but unless I do something about my health I fear I will end up in an early grave.

I have some challenges I have set myself that I would love to do once I reach my weight loss goals. But I will post them at a later date. At the moment miss Sophie (Our daughter) has just woken up although i'm not sure if she actually had a nap or not but she certainly doesn't want to stay in her cot any longer.

I will post more about myself and family a little later on as well. Here I will be posting my food diary and also my day to day challenges and goals.
