This is it!

hi fello bloggers, I am back in the land of the blog! I have been inspired by this months weight watchers magazine article on blogging and how it helps keep you on track with your weight loss goals - it definitely did last time i lost weight so im here to give it another shot. not just another failed attempt though - this is it!

I have had lots of highs and lows since my last post. i got down to 90.5 and then after two weddings, three funerals and a sunshine coast holiday which we have just gotten back from, i was 92.9 when i weighed in after maccas yesterday morning. it gave me some more hope as i felt as though i had gained five kilos over the last few weeks! alas i still have gained and i still have weight to lose. so here goes!

I have already logged back onto the weight watchers tracking site and im ready to tacke it today - a saturday, not wait till monday. now. i have to start making smart choices again.

my whole experience with weight loss before has to be a separate chapter now, i think sometimes by losing weight we think we will just do it again, but its even harder second time around and i have to put the work in to get the results out.

I am going to keep looking back through these blogs as well, i have read that last time i were able to be social and still lose weight, i learnt that i have to treat my body like a credit card. if i put extra stuff on it i have to work even harder to get it off, or pay it forward as such.

I also know now from my experience that i want to eat healthy and exercise for another reason now - not just losing weight and getting to goal - because i know how good it feels to eat right and move more - it feels bloody fantastic. its like how they say if you could bottle this feeling, if you could take a pill. well that pill is just about getting some exercise and eating the right foods. you can still eat the other foods as well but just in moderation.

so here i am, im going to make more out of my life, i have a ten month old baby now and we want to start trying again for our second, and i don't want to feel that slothy feeling i am starting to slip into again. i want to feel happy, healthy and full of energy and life to give my husband my son but most importantly me the best out of every single day. we have to stop living for that day when we get this or get that, but live for the moment - life is way too short not to.

todays plan for me

i went for a walk this morning

b - cereal and toast 5- im cutting this back to either cereal and fruit or toast, not both. that is my breaky change.
l - ham and salad multigrain roll 6, from now on this is my lunch. this or a toasted sandwhich or focaccia. back to basics for lunch, and one portion size, not two.
d - im going to make a healthy salad for tea. 5
s - weight watchers chocolate bar 2.5, apple 1, weight watchers icecream 2, yoghurt 1.5

i am a stay at home mum and work from home so i have to get my habbits at home under control, week days and weekends are the same, so the food has to be too. i want to feel good all week long. i am cutting back on alcohol as we are going to be trying for another bub so that is another motivation to feel great and eat well.

better go get ready for when ben wakes.
great to check back in, will be doing it a lot more in the not too distant future too.
