Hello,
I have now lost a grand total of 9lbs.....I am so chuffed it is unbelievable! The plan I am following is simple to follow, a shake in the morning for breakfast, another for lunch and a healthy meal for dinner! Not rocket science and its suits me at this time of my life! And most importantly I'm losing weight, which is what it's all about in the end!
So far I've lost
Week 1-2lb
Week 2-4lb
Week 3-3lb
I have also been going to boot camp with Jess, the fat destroyer!!! She is,amazing, motivating, and inspiring! I'm walking JJ for a minimum of 50 minutes a day which means that he is looking less portly too! So this healthy lifestyle is having benefits everywhere!!
Now, next week is the monthly measure to see if I've lost any inches!!! Exciting eh!
So until next week ;0)

Never Ending Story
Hello,
Well, it has now been well over a week since this journey started and all is good, I have lost 2lbs that will never be seen again and more importantly I'm feeling Goooooood! My whole mind set has changed, my attitude is positive, which I always think is a good start for anything you do! Also Lent has now started which means I would have given up all the crappy food anyway! :0)
This week I have tried to incorporate some exercise into each day! I've walked the dog, been for a run with the dog and I have just got home from an hour long walk with the dog and children which we all loved! I did want to start boot camp with Jess Wilson but I had to take one of the children to the doctors! So everything crossed I will start on Monday doing 2 sessions a week....I am both nervous and excited! Jess has been a constant source of support checking in on me, encouraging me, inspiring me and I am eternally grateful to her! I will also penciling in some 1-1 sessions over the next few months to get me where I want to be!
Well ta ta for now!

Day 4.......The story so far ;0)
Well it's been 4 days since I decided to change my life! It's sounds so dramatic but this decision will give me my life back, I have eaten must into an unhealthy state that is no example to her children.... how can I tell them exercise and eat healthy if I'm not myself? How can I set an example to my kids if I'm not living and breathing it myself!?
So, how has it been.....?
All in all its been ok, I have reached breakfast and lunch with "Forever Life Ultra" shakes using skimmed milk then I'm having a healthy meal for dinner/tea. On the first day I had a headache, which is normal for me on any new eating plan and I ensured I drank plenty of water, the second day was higgledy piggledy as I went to Bridgend shopping with the hubby...I had a shake in the morning but was out all day so had a meal then a,shake later in the evening, it's not rocket science and simple enough!!
What I have discovered is that I snack out of boredom rather than hunger. Each day I have asked myself "Am I hungry?" and probably 8 times out of 10 I'm not!! So if I have been hungry I've had a piece of fruit and drank some water! Simple!
Now, the next piece of the jigsaw is to incorporate some exercise, I will be joining Jess Wilson's boot camp on Friday so will be attempting some Wii Zumba, light running and my daily job of walking my gorgeous boy JJ!
So onwards and upwards with my weight going downwards! I am in this for the long haul, this is a change for the rest of my life! So if slow and steady is how it happens then so be it...I will take whatever I'm dealt!
Well reality beckons, shopping to be done, dogs to be walked etc
Until next time ;0)

The first day of the rest of my life.....;0)
Day one.
Weighed myself this morning and took measurements last night!
A painful but essential part of what I am trying to do...
You see my weight has been an issue for me for about 16 years, children, work and life as a busy working mum got in the way, or I let it get in the way! I have lost and gained weight around having my children and beyond and most recently I have let myself to my heaviest "non-pregnant" weight of all!
Don't get me wrong, it hasn't just appeared, it has crept on and I watched and did nothing about it! However, my "lightbulb" moment came on the weekend and something has just clicked and I WANT to do this, which is the only way I'm going to make sure today is the last day of my old life and tomorrow my journey to a Healthier, fitter and leaner life starts!
I am enlisting the assistance of Jess Wilson who is,an amazing, motivating and refreshing girl! I will attend her fitness boot camps and 1-1 training,! I will continue to walk JJ my dog 1-2 times a day and I am going to attend "Parkrun" on Saturdays wherever possible.
I have also decided to use protein shakes to replace two meals fir at least the 1st month and possibly beyond....not everyone's cup of tea but it's my choice to kick start my weight management!
So here are the dreaded scores on the doors!
WEIGHT: 14st 8lbs!!!
BODY FAT:46%
HEIGHT: 5ft 1in
CHEST: 39 inches
BUST: 44in inches
WAIST: 42 inches !!!!
HIPS: 48 inches
LEFT THIGH: 24 inches
RIGHT THIGH: 24 inches
My camera is charging so I will.post a photo tomorrow!
