I've finally done it!!!!

Tomorrow I go to my doc and get the all clear.

Ive been feeling really good and have had no pain in my bottom since the stitch fell out a month ago.

I have booked in at the gym...yes...the gym. I need some me time and I need to do something to get rid of the shadow that has now attatched itself ot me full time. Im not happy with having to wear size 24 - 26's...I feel extremely huge and overweight. I hate feeling like this :( I use to be very physically fit before i had the kids...I sort of got lost along the way and concentrated on them for so long that I forgot to look after me.

I go in tuesday night at 7pm to have an assessment...Ive never gone to a gym and for me its a huge step! Im a little excited, nervous and scared. Im not mentioning this to family so wont be 'advertising' this anywere else but here ;)

Wish me luck on my new journey *please*

Good luck Maz!

This is such a huge step, maz! Good on you!

Good luck hun! Let me know what that gym is like :) Your gonna knock em over with the new you!

Good on you. Have fun!!!

Thank you all so much for your positve vibes and words.

I got the all clear :dance:

Ive started my detox diet today and a photo journal that I will share down the track. I want to do this the natural way...Ive tried other ways and they jsut dont work and i know a healthy diet and exercise do work for me.

Sneakers have been bought now I jsut have to shave my hairy mcglaries so I can wear a pair of 3/4 trackies and I'll be right

Awesome, maz.

I wouldn't worry about shaving your hairies too much. I think it might be really important to make being active (I don't like to call it exercise) your number one priority as a start. Also, you need to channel that special maz energy that will help you to not give a flying fruit bat what anyone thinks of you.

Maybe you could grow them out a little and get a nice wax job done as your first reward?

Well done!!! Good luck you will do great!!!

xoxo

Awesome Maz, you go get em! Enjoy the journey! xxx

Go Maz! You can do this! You will do this!
Blogging it out helped me so much. I had a personal journal at home for about 6months before i started blogging online.

Have lost all my weight through the power of exercise, changing my lifestyle and some simple things about what I eat (like wholegrains instead of whites, no butter, no sugar drinks, etc) and the power of the mind.

The more the weight comes off the more it spurs you on. I have people comment daily now which is so lovely as I have actually been doing this for 1 year now but people are really noticing.

Cant wait for Sydney Meet up! You will rock that corset! :D

:cheer: Go Maz! :cheer:
Pop in for an update after your appointment :)
