Plan B

The problem with my plan is that it is not very life with 3 kids friendly nor does it allow much flexibility. I miss bread, I miss eating a normal family dinner etc. I don't think it has long term potential....

So me thinks I am going to follow Weight Watchers I like the idea that no food is taboo and you can earn points for exercise. I think the carb free, totally good plan works for those gym bunnies with no kids and a single persons life but a poor mum of 3 cannot afford to have 5 meals of lean protein a day it has been sending me broker.

Good news I have lost another kilo which brings my totally weight loss down to around 9 kilos so not bad. I really, really, want to look good in the December issue of Little Treasures and I am determined to get into a bikini this Summer so I think I  will sign up for the Weight Watchers online program next week. Why not this week you say, well thank the rego on my car for expiring :S


As for my trainer well I am now lucky to get a text every 2 weeks kinda bullshit from someone who said they would contact me everyday :S

My new Favorite work out has to be the hot dog dance from the Micky Mouse Club House, try the Goofy Version for some extra comedy! 

The Free Gym!!!!

During my walks with the kids I often stop at my daughter's school or a park so they can have play. I remember flying around the bars like a circus freak having sooooo much fun. The other day I was watching my eldest daughter attempt the monkey bars but she couldn't get past the first one. As a former monkey bar pro I offered to show her how it was done!

Umm EMBARRASSING I can no longer hold my own weight and promptly fell on my ass with Angel scoffing " oh yeah mum you sure showed me" and the two babies rolling around laughing at their mum on the ground. It then hit me what a great work out the playground is. So my new work out regime involves building my upper body strength on the monkey bars, but to avoid looking like a total fool I need to plan my sessions when no one else is around, I think my children laughing at me is enough:)

In a rut

I had a good weight loss while I was sick but now that I have gotten back into things nothing......

I swear weight loss gets harder as you get older you get used to your creature comforts like a nice glass or two of wine wine when the kiddies go to bed. What I find maddening and frustrating is when I got to mother's groups or see friends of mine who have had children after me just bounce back and here I am still stuck being obese. When I used to picture myself as an adult it was never as overweight I always just thought of an older version of my gorgeous teenage self just more glamorous.

So far the hardest things for me at the moment is time to exercise esp now the weather is packing in and severely rationing my carbs!!!!

 Hopefully I have more to report next week.

Wish me luck folks
