Well it has been a trialing time lately. My great grandmother passed away last friday at the nursing home. Poor old dear had a stroke and although she lived to an amazing age of 94 years old she was a very much loved and close family member and losing her sent me completely off the rails. I havent been to the gym since friday last week though I have booked in for this monday with the personal trainer to get me back in line and after finally now having a clear head I am really ready to get this moving and smash the fat away.
I have entered the City 2 Surf with my kids as part of Amys ladybugs team and I am raising money for the Salvation Army in memory of my great grandmother who was heavily involved with the salvation Army. They Salvation Army helps over a million Australian families each year and without the support of everyday Australians they wouldnt be able to make it possible. I am kicking it up a gear this week and for the next 11 weeks to really shed the weight off in time for the City 2 Surf.
I have had an even greater shock with finding out my 6 year old boy is severely constipated from all the crap food he eats since he eats what my husband eats (my husband doesnt eat vegetables) well he isnt liking that I have changed his entire diet... in fact he is still up right now trying to avoid eating vegetables and has tried telling me he will just waste them... he got a shock when I told him he wasnt going to bed until he ate every last vegetable and I made him a chicken teryaki stirfry with lots of different types of vegetables. He is that bad the doctor has given him laxatives and I have to take him back to the doctor on sunday to see how he is progressing. The X-ray showed he was so bound up that it was right through his whole abdomen! To add to it, much to my sons disgust, I have booked Brendan in to see the dietician and pediatrician and I have thrown out all of his garbage school snacks like chips and tiny teddies and replaced them with healthy uncle tobys and SPC snacks. I have also banned him from having money for the canteen (I am sticking it all in his bank account instead) because I cant control what he eats from there and despite last year them having only healthy food I have discovered this year they have filled the canteen with junk because they werent making much in the way of profit last year.
I have joined the aim train and I have also joined the 12wbt and with the amount of strength and willpower I have right now I am going to power through this and instill the change into my son too. This is a lifestyle change not a diet and it is a change to better our lives.
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
