I dont like to use the word cant since there is nothing positive about it but as I sit here, with my 4 month old baby in my arms throwing up all over me since he has a stomach bug, I have to face the music that there is no way I will get to the gym today. I would be happy just to get off my couch today but even that doesnt look likely to happen in the next hour or so.
Yesterday out of sheer determination I managed to do 25 mins straight on the cross trainer. By the end I could no longer feel my toes. Definately not used to that one but it is a big improvement from 2 weeks ago... plus my heart rate stayed between 130 - 150 so definately starting to see an improvement.
~ 1 hour later
So I have managed to get Reece finally off to bed... hopefully he sleeps for a while because I now have a mountain of clothes to wash and a whole house to disinfect. I wonder how many calories you can burn doing housework? I am hoping he is feeling better after he has some sleep or I may have to cancel his booking in the gym creche for tomorrow too.
Monday I have my first personal training session in around 7 years so I think it will be very interesting to see if I can move still on tuesday but if it is going to budge these stubborn kilos I will give it 100%. I had the doctor tell me to increase my calories for a couple of days because my body was doing things it shouldnt be and now I am back to normal and the calorie intake can go back down which I am happy about because after eating 1200 calories for 9 weeks then having to eat between 1800 - 2100 I was really struggling to eat it. Amazing that before I started my journey with the biggest loser club I could eat un-imaginable numbers of calories and now I feel like an overstuffed penguin if I even eat 1600!
Well I hope everyone is having a great week and may you shed those kilos by the bucket loads!
About Me
- Becoming the Swan
- Hi there! My Name is Dannielle and I am a mother of a 5 year old and a 3 1/2 month old baby (both boys). Before I fell pregnant I stopped looking at the scales when it hit 110kg and I had horror of having a big fat wedding. It is a sad thought when you look at your wedding photos and cry but now in hindsight I see where I started and where I am now is only half way but I am definately in a better place than I was. I got my weight down to 107.1kg and then discovered I was pregnant! I was told to put my gym membership on hold by the doctor to reduce the risk for the pregnancy though my diet had changed to healthy food so during my pregnancy I didnt put on a gram. On Boxing Day (5 days late!) my baby boy was born and after the 6 weeks was up I got the OK from the doctor to start shedding the kilos Woohoo! I started shedding the weight and on the 18th February I joined the biggest loser club at 97.7kg. On the 15th April I weighed in at 89.9kg (I am in the 80s YEAH!!!) so this is where I begin this blog... weigh in is in the morning and cant wait
