I started this weightloss journey in January 2004 and lost 20kg in the first year. Then in 2005 I had lost another 7kg before suffering a miscarriage and I struggled to get back on track. This blog was a fresh start for me to help me reach my final goal. And just as things were settling down, I fell pregnant again in March 2006 and gave birth to a healthy baby girl in November. Now my main aim is to finish the good work I started and become a healthy mummy to my 2 girls.

Facing facts

I sat down with myself yesterday and made myself face some facts.

I have admitted to myself that the reason my weightloss isn't succeeding is due to the fact that I am trying to get pregnant.

There is a lot of factors I have realised that are floating around in the back of my mind:

I was 94kg when I got pregnant first try with Bethany but now I am smaller I am having problems, maybe I am sabotaging myself thinking that if I stay big, it will work.
I am set in a vicious cycle. I get TOM and work hard for 2 weeks losing weight, then I try to conceive and take it easy for a week, not wanting anything to stop it from working and then I take it easy for the next week just incase I am pregnant, not wanting to do anything wrong and then it starts all over again.
When it turns out I am not pregnant I hurts and I use food.

And that is just about the jist of it. So now it is time to relax, stop stressing (mum told me yesterday that stress won't help trying to conceive either) and just get on with it.

So today I got up and did a gentle 25 situps and 12 minutes on the stepper(Bethany woke up and stopped me from doing any more). I will trying and do another 18 mins when I get home and a 30min walk tonight.

I was actually quite surprised at how much I enjoyed doing the stepper. I did 10mins on Sunday and managed 554 steps. This morning in 10 mins I did 635 and in the whole 12 minutes I did 804. I was disappointed when Bethany woke up because I felt like I could do more.

I am also hoping to join a gym in the next couple of days. Kelly won a free trial membership at a gym but doesn't want it so she has given it to me. So I am going to find out what it includes and try to use it instead. Even if it just lets me use like a cross trainer and exercise bike, that's all I'm really looking for right now, just to get back into it. So fingers crossed I can use it.

Well that's enough confession for today. Looking forward to a good day and better days to come.
