About Me

My photo
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

The Personal Torturer

Today was a great day. I stepped on the scales and read 88.6kg so 1.3kg lost this week. My muscles in my calves were so stiff that I started the day waddling like a penguin... revenge of the exercise bike. Not to matter... time to entertain my 5 year old and why not add a little exercise in while I am at it. We headed off to Narragingy Reserve to go for a walk and my son loved the end of our park trip when he got to see the ducks swimming around.

















Guess that takes care of my walking outdoors. Anyways then we went and played 2 games of ten pin bowling which sparked a competitive streak in my son... although he didnt beat me, he is determined to do so next time... cheaky little munchkin.

5pm I headed off to the gym and first thing I did was buy a bright pink pair of weight gloves. Might as well have some colour to make it more cheery. Ok so then I pulled myself together and walked over to the personal trainers desk. Since it is a public holiday only one personal trainer was at the desk and naturally I get the take no crap boxing loving torturer... lucky me lol. He warned me that when we start on the 2nd of May I will be doing an hour of different weights training exercises and the first thing that came to my mind (and I said it too) was I went through drug-free labours with both of my kids and there was no way that he could bring me to the level of pain that I went through with my kids so there is no way I will wimp out... which earned me a smile that said just wait and see! Ahhhhhhhhhh lol.

Anyways I worked out for an hour using various machines and there is that stiff leg feeling again... sigh... well at least I know my muscles are working lol. Now I am home waiting for the biggest loser to finish recording on my foxtel so I can quickly watch it before I throw on an exercise dvd or two to do while the hubby is out at the football.
