Getting there

Well, not the best 3 days have passed but with luck, I haven't gained.

Friday I weighed in at 79.6kg, meaning I need to loose 4.7kg to get back to the 74.9 I was before the pregnancy. Was all set and ready to start on Friday but then got dealt more emotional news.

First of all, I found out that an old friend (we were best friends in year 12) is pregnant! Not the best news to hear when you are already feeling low.

Then later that day, I got a call from my brother (who hasn't had the best of years either with his marriage breakdown) to tell me that on December 17 he is moving to Sydney to live.

You see, my mother is originally from Sydney and has 8 brothers and sisters there and they have heaps of kids and so on, so there is a real big family base there. Anyhow, one of my cousins has offered for him to go and live with him and work on his horse property and generally get away from everything here and sort himself out.

So it's good for Steve, he really does need some timeout, but I am sad to see him go. We have been through so much together and it will be the first time in out lives where we will be more than a 30min drive from each other. But I wish him the best of luck and all my love.

So, anyhow, both lots of news resulted in some bad eating on my part and kind of sucked the momentum out of me.

That was until I read Janene's site this morning. Now I am more determined than ever to get my sorry butt back into action. I need a lift at the moment, and I know that seeing the scales start to move back down will give me just that lift to make myself feel good.

Straight after work today, I am off to the shop to stock up on fruit, yoghurt and lots of good stuff. I want to start tracking my eating again but won't start until tomorrow as my cupboards aren't the best and didn't have a great breakfast this morning. I am going for a 30 min walk today or if I get too busy to get out the door, I will use the stepper tonight. I have done 40 situps, 15 pushups and 10 dips (doesn't look like much, but it's a start) and started on my water for the day.

I have noticed now that I have brought out all my summer tops that I really need to work on my flabby arms, hence the dips that I am now doing. If anyone out there knows any more exercises to help get rid of flabby underarms, can you let me know?

Well that is the long and the short of it. Actually, Janene has got me so pumped I am dying to get home and get started. Thanks Janene!

Thats it for today. Hope you are all well.
