Wow, day 5 already!! OK I really need to knuckle down and get things moving more than they already are.
TV, I have almost cut it out completly and as our TV is on the blink we are seriously considering not replacing it for the year. This will mean my fat lazy a*se won't be able to vege out and eat chocolate in front of mindless rubbish. The alternitive, ride my bike that still looks sparkling new after owning it for 4 years, take the kids for a walk to the park in the buggy and run around with them, go for a swim, work in the garden, the list is endless and all involves MOVING which results in a healthy body.
Today I'm off for another run, this time I'm extending the block by one more street.
Food......some day's I just hate food. The problem is crap food just taste so good at times and is easy to get. I think protein shakes with a banana will become my new best friend for the next wee while as a substitute for all snacks.
I won't tell you what size top I was wearing yesterday, but lets just say the tag has been removed!!!! One day I will be proud to have the size lable left in my clothes again :)
I can't believe I'm almost at the end of week one, I CAN DO THIS :)
ps. this is made a lot easier with my loving and supportive husband xx

Day 2
well day 2 is a day off in terms of running. Thank goodness as my muscles are letting me know they still exist!
Food wise, well not a good day. A roll from Nada bakery, followed by an apple donut then pizza for dinner. :( Oops, it's so hard with others offer you this food. I feel rude saying no it's ok, I'll just have my shake or salad.
Tomorrow is another day and I'm going to make a really good effort on the food front.
Porridge for breakie
protein shake, & yoghurt for lunch and salad wholegrain tortilla with mince for dinner. Snacks not worked out yet but perhaps another yoghurt and an apple. NO JUNK OF ANY DESCRIPTION.
Another run is scheduled for tomorrow too, will try and fit that in sometime in the morning.
I'm beginning to wonder how on earth I ever thought I was 'fat' 10 years ago when I was wearing size 8 clothes!! Damn what people say to you, their words can be so damaging without them even realising. Now their words are actually true, I am now truly FAT :(
Between pounding the streets and breastfeeding surly this weight will shift? My fingers and toes are crossed :)

First run - 4th January 5.15pm
So the first run is on the cards today, only 10 minutes but I tell you I'm already wondering how my boobs now 4 sizes, yes FOUR sizes bigger than they were the last time I attempted to run are going to cope!
No fancy clothes or socks, just a good pair of running shoes some leggings and a whole lot of courage! I'm heading off now, will post when I drag myself up off the floor after my return, that's if my strained heart is still pumping!

The story behind the hard road ahead
I'm am writing this for myself as a tool in my journey to get fit and healthy in 2011 so that I feel and look better and am the Mum who can run around with her two boys with ease.
In the pst 3 years I have produced two beautiful boys, I could not begin to imagine my life without them in it and treasure so many moments each day with them it's impossible to count them.
What I have also gained in the last 3 years is close to 30kg, a floppy body and poor eating habbits.
TIME FOR CHANGE before it's too late and I end up shopping it plus sized stores wearing potato sacks!
2011 brings a lot of change to the Swan household. Not only am I on a health mission, I am also re-entering the work force after over 2.5years out and I have the title as a Massey University Teaching student as I set forth to complete 3 years of ece/primary teaching degree. By 2013 I will be able to teach in year 1, 2 or 3 as well of course as early childhood centres with the title of teacher with a degree - Yipee.
I will not be documenting my weight as really that is just too embarrasing!! I will be documenting the kilos lost though.
Currently in size ..... (oops how did that happen!) clothes I am determined to drop 2 sizes.
So goals for the next few months:
1. To follow the 14 week training schedule for a half marathon starting from TODAY
2. Enter and run the Wgtn half in June 2011
3. To keep the house tidy. Washing up to date, kitchen clean etc.
I'm under no illusions that this is going to be a tough journey, with many ups and downs. With family and friends supporting me and the drive to succeed at this I WILL make it to december with a year of Massey behind me and a new fighting fit body.
You are welcome to follow my blog, please remember this is a tool for me. Anything I right is not to offend anyone, it is my diary to keep me on track and follow my amazing year ahead.
Tears, tantrums, temtation, laughs...........BRING IT ON!!!!!
I say Good Luck to ME :)
