Day One --- What to buy?
Today I have been thinking. I need to lose weight. That is the simple fact of the matter. With my height (a good 5"9) I always thought my sauntering between 80-88kg was satisfactory. I was fine at that weight. Then, like many other women, at 23 I decided to have a baby. I thought it was wonderful as I didn't fill out much at the front and I had her at 35 weeks (not on purpose of course) so everything was fine with me that way. All the way through pregnancy I was like "I will lose any excess weight when I have her, surely it will just drop of being a busy mother". Well hmmmm..... that didn't happen! Once pregnancy finishes, breastfeeding kicks in and you are hungry all the time because you have a "darling" parasite sucking every bit of nutrition from you. Mind you I can't completely blame her, During pregnancy I was eating up to 4 meals of KFC every week, then during BF at least once a week. I don't exercise as I am lazy and the computer is far more inviting for me. This is my completely honest outlook. It didn't hit me that I needed to lose weight until I was at the Doctors the other day and I weighed in at 102 KG. I was OVER 100 kg!!! So today I set up a free diet plan online (http://startyourdiet.com) and *cough* downloaded *cough* Turbofire (a low impact aerobics workout) and generated a meal planner at https://www.eatthismuch.com. I realize I need a set of scales.... about to head to trademe or ebay but I think I saw some for $10 at the warehouse. Tomorrow it begins. I am looking to get to 70kg by May 26th 2014. Wish me Luck!!!
