30 Day Shred - Day 8. I can do 100 sit ups

So, I found out tonight I can do 100 sit ups!! Well that's not strictly true, I've always been able to do 100 sit ups but usually over 100 days.

I don't want to sound conceited (although I am a bit) but I am really proud of us, we have pushed on every evening (i missed 1 but leigh didn't) and found the motivation through poorly boys and long days and we are seeing results. I bought a new top today in a size smaller than my usual and it fits perfectly. We have been changing our ways with food for 7 weeks now as have lost almost a stone each. The 2 bigger boys were still up when we shredded tonight and Taylor kept saying "you're doing so good, keep going you're my heroes". How can you not try your hardest when you have that type of encouragement??. Day 8 done and 22 more to go.

Much love xx

Our yummy tea today...

30 Day Shred - Day 7. I will do this...

Well tonight was hard but not as hard as it has been. I'm shattered as usual, but feel good!! Had a chilling day with the boys whilst Leigh did some work so was actually looking forward to the shred today. (I know, I'm crazy). I can see some differences already and am very excited for the next 23 days.

My fitness Pal says that I have lost 33lbs but that is since having Taylor. I can't wait to post my final "after" photos.

Danny was watching the Hannah Montana film so I asked him if he wouldn't mind watching it in his room so I could put the shred DVD on. How hilarious that half an hour later I was still watching Hannah Montana ;)

This was our "Treat" dinner for doing so well all week...



Much Love xx

Big fat, big fat fatty!!

That's me I'm talking about. Not you!!

I have spent the majority of my adult life on a diet and its been bloody miserable. After years of excess (food and alcohol) I am trying to finally take control and get the body that I've always wanted!! Don't get me wrong, I look great and I feel it haha. That's where things have changed for me, since I've "grown up" I've come to realise that there are more important things than body shape and clothes size. Since this realisation, I have become more successful at living a healthier lifestyle. I am very much an emotional eater, there's not a problem that you can throw at me that a Kit Kat chunky or 10 can't solve! Over the last 4 years I have lost 29lbs (that's with 3 pregnancies in the same space of time) and dropped almost 3 dress sizes. I feel better than I ever have and I really like myself (probably slightly more than I should, but oh well).
I'm hoping to lose a further 28lbs and drop 2 more dress sizes but am taking it 1lb at a time. I have been doing Zumba for the wii, have you ever tried it? I'm sure that the whole object of it is to make you trip over your own feet, or is that just me?. So, I've also ordered a DVD called 30 day shred!! Lets see how that goes. I'm so focused this time, that I haven't even finished my 3 weeks early giant Easter egg yet!! (Only the 3 kit Kat chunky's that came with it). If I make it to my final goal weight, I won't become a better person, a better mum or a solver of world peace but I might be healthier and fitter but let's see!!

On a seperate note, if anyone wants to send me a kit Kat chunky in support then feel free :)

What's your favourite treat???
