First steps to a new moi

**maz** · March 3rd, 2009, 02:01 PM

IM not for advertising when I do things for myself...but I thoguht If i get in here....start a thread , then I know I will stick to this.

Ive been noticing its harder for me to get up and down of the floor, my legs hurt if I sit in one position for to long.. size 24 is getting a little to tight for my liking..and standing ont he scales today and breaking them was more then enough

So after a phone conversation with Chrissy, who helped guide me in the right way (unbeknowns to her)..i have decided that I am going to get off this buttox of mine and get motivated and be me again!!!!

Ive had my life on hold for my kids for far to long. First it was Wilhelm, then when we went of to school I had lots of good intensions. Allas Mateauz and his needs were put infront of my own so put my weight loss and me back again!

Well dame it! NO MORE I tell you!!!!

AS of now...this woman is going to evolve!!!!!

My plan of attack over the next 2 weeks...cut carbs, drink MORE WATER...have my shakes at breakfast and lunch with fruit as a snack. Make sure that I walk atleast 3 km a day with my babies in their pram. Get out and get some fresh air instead of locking myself away from the world!!!!

lets see how long I can do this for shall we

I have started this thing and im going to stick to it!

Righto Ms New woman... Lets do this shall we...

What type of support would you like for this great new commitment to care for yourself??
I am here... pom poms at the ready... coach whistle and growly face if need be... you name it and I am sure we can accommodate...

I can't wait to hear how happy you'll be as you progress through this journey.

Good on you Maz!! You have put everyone else first for such a long time that you deserve sometime for you. We are all ready to cheer you on.

**Kazbah** · March 3rd, 2009, 02:12 PM

Woohooo Maz - I'll join you. Although I do have to say, your ticker image is HOT!

**sushee** · March 3rd, 2009, 02:19 PM

I had concerns about putting myself first too - it's almost expected by society that to be a good wife and mum, you always have to consider your needs last, right?

WRONG!

By putting yourself first in this instance, you will eventually be a healthier mum for your husband and kids, so this is as much for them as you. Don't you forget that!

omg i couldnt have said that but that is exactly what I mean!!

I need to have a healthier mind and I feel so depressed being this big. I know im unhealthy and its starting to eat away at me (not the bad parts of me unfortuneately)
I also want to be a good role model to my kids and I beleive in eating correctly, exercising and being able to step aside and be me is completely healthy for us all.

Thank you all for your support.....I thank you whole heartedly. Its very hard to finalyl admit that I have a problem within myself and im going to find this all very theraputic.

Your all wonderful

Ok off to drink more water right now... and play squash tonight too. puff, pant, sweat.

**Willow** · March 3rd, 2009, 02:36 PM

Maz, you know I already think you rock but I'm so stoked to see this thread - you are such a dedicated mum, your kids are your whole life and I think it's fantastic that you're doing something for YOU!

You're gonna be HOTer

**Aimz** · March 3rd, 2009, 02:38 PM

Don't completely cut the carbs!! You will need them for all that walking you will be doing!

Little things like changing from white bread to multigrain, serving more greens and less potato etc.

Your biggest meal of the day should be breakfast - it will give you an energy boost for the day. Lots of fresh fruits and veggies to snack on throughout the day will maintain your energy and a smaller dinner will mean you're body doesn't have to try and burn off a whole heap of food while you're sleeping.

Looking forward to following your journey Maz. I'm still on mine (4kgs lost since New Years Day) so I'm right there with you!!

**AliBaby** · March 3rd, 2009, 02:47 PM

WTG Maz. I went great guns as my NY Resolution joined the BB challange but have been hit with so many things. Flu, Tonsilitis, Chect infection asthma. Etc. I'm just starting this week again too... Have a BB meet up and hopefully i can loose few KGs as a start before then. I have bout 30 Kg's to loose.

rhyb · March 3rd, 2009, 04:09 PM

WTG Maz!! Good luck and you have plenty of support here!

**maz** · March 4th, 2009, 08:25 AM

thank yo so much girls..your given me suich a big head I woke with a headache this monring

New Years Resolutions....nah bugger that! I say if your goning to do something you have to be in the right frame of mind to do it..not wait for aspecial day to submit yourself to it and feel let down when you cant go through with it.

I did this when I gave up smoking...I just did it..had enough...that was way back in May 2006..yes I was pg with vyolett and it made me sick. I dont feel good for doing it but it was what I did and I cant change that.

I have a little 'coach' here. After the boys went to school this monring vy pop's up and says
'Mummy lets go for walk NOW'
she didnt even let me get me load of washing on

I started this silently on sunday....I weighed myself (before I broke the scales which Jed fixed) and almost cried BUT I had to do a sneaky and get on when I got back form our walk...SHIAT Ive lost 3 kg

...I cant believe it!!! If that hasnt given me more motivation to lose more I dont know what has. I cant believe it...3kg like that! WOO HOOO...I might be able to see my toes sooner then I thought!

**~Kaz~** · March 4th, 2009, 08:32 AM

Well done Maz

You're off to a great start! It's not easy to admit you have a problem or need to change something like your health.

It's great that you're doing something for YOU!!

mum3girls · March 4th, 2009, 10:34 AM
