Well today was a day full of adventure... well more like stress lol. I purposely left the buying chocolate eggs and stuffed toy bunnies until today to remove any chance of temptation... instead I should have bought them and locked them in the safe at my parents house. Who knew today would be so hectic??? Obviously I didnt take a thought to the thousands of people that would be crazily shopping at the last minute just like me. Oh dear why did I do this? Firstly I went to one shop and only walked out with a little rattle duck which has bunny ears on it for my baby boy... 20 mins of walking around aimlessly in circles... sigh... just think of the steps you are accumulating (should have worn my pedometer). Off to the next shopping centre and woah there are thousands and thousands of cars here! I got a parking space almost as far away from the shopping centre as possible (more unknown quantity of steps earned). In Big W there was a range of eggs and toys... only problem is around 60% were smashed, squashed or broked and the ones left are going fast as people are flying through the isles snatching stuff off the shelves at an incredible pace. No time for an anxiety attack (absolutely hate packed shopping centres but too late now... I put myself in this situation and I have to get myself out of it) I join in the crazy snatch and grab and I didnt grab a basket so my arms are piled up with boxes and boxes of eggs and bunnies and toys for all my husbands cousins, my nephews, my parents, my kids, my sisters, my step-sons girlfriend, my step-grand daughter (long story but makes me feel a bit old lol), a friend -and her mother, my mother in-law... gosh I am starting to pull moths from the wallet! An hour after I left home I am walking out of the shops and so glad that is over... it did me good though because after that experience I definately have no interest whatsoever in anything to do with easter that is edible or bunny shaped.
Now for exercise... well I dont go to the gym on the weekends only mon-friday because my son has AFL and swimming and my husband is usually out and about but I already have the exercise dvds ready and as soon as my 5 year old is in bed this laptop is getting switched off and I am going to get all sweaty lol. It probably does me good to have a shake up in my routine at the end of the week anyways.
Does anyone know what the highest calorie burning exercise is at the gym? It hit my curiosity today since I still have another week before I start with the personal trainer. Anyways I am off to cook my oldest son dinner now that he has finally cleaned his room after making his room resemble the local tip. Have a good night everyone!
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
