hope it's not too late to join in...I joined the last challenge earlier in the year and failed miserably at that, so here I am for take 2..lol. Will have to jump on the Wii Fit scales later, I'm too scared to take measurements..lol. I'm still carrying all the weight I gained being pg with DD, I don't think I lost anything after she was born! I've been walking every day (having a dog makes for great motivation!) but it hasn't been enough because I don't think I've lost anything and I'm getting sick of looking at my disgusting lumpy body. Especially my tummy which makes me look like I'm about 6 months pg (only not a nice tight baby bump, just a floppy lump..).
So I've decided I need to do more, and try and get this weight off and be happy with my body. I know it's never going to be the same again, but at least I will be able to 'make do' rather than being disgusted and feeling down every time I look at it.
My biggest downfall is probably snacking- biscuits/chocolate. So I'm making an effort to not buy any crap when I go shopping, so at least if I have a craving it isn't in the house. It's also hardest when DD is asleep, i think because I don't have to worry about her wanting what I'm eating, or what to do with her while I go and get something because she is quite clingy.
Going to get some nice fruit this afternoon so I can snack on that instead of unhealthy food!
Have also started recording 'My Workout' on Austar, and once we're back from our morning walk (which I've been trying to get more out of by running a little bit as well, although it's hard with a 4 wheeler pram..lol, and walking faster rather than just strolling along. Am embracing the few hills we do have too!) and DD is in her high chair with some morning tea I go through one (sometimes two if DD is being good) of the sessions. Bought some cheap dumbells from Go-Lo to go with that. I haven't done very well with it lately, one week I think I only did it one day, but am trying to do it at least 3-4 times/week.
