30 days

I wasn't going to show any photos or measurements till i had reached goals. BUT, i will reach goals, so here is my progress after 30 days.

left upper arm - 12 1/2
right upper arm - 13
waist - 38

right thigh - 23 1/2

waist - 32
hips - 37
left thigh - 21
right thigh - 22

I can feel a great deal of difference in my body and definitely in my ability. I have began the second level of p90 and it's pushing me. The exercise is also getting my body realigned and i am starting to stand like i used to.
In the photos, i have picked an outfit that will be able to be worn if i loose a great deal of size. It may not look the best on me, and another outfit would make me look smaller, but i want to see true results. My stomach looks terrible in the first photo, and the sad thing was, i was not pushing my belly out in the slightest. I mourn for my pre children body sometimes.

Start line

My plan for the next 90 days is the p90 exercise routines with p90x yoga on my rest day. For these 90 days I will be having slim fast, a main meal, a recovery  drink with my exercise and healthy snacks so i eat something about every two hours. I drop a stone and a half easy with 'eating green' but then get stuck, so I am going to slim fast first and loose steady, then after the 90 days move to healthy healthy eating to boost my motivation and hopefully not get stuck like normal. I need to shift some bulk first as i hold it all in my mid drift since having 4 children and an finding I am pinching a few inches when i do yoga and unable to get the best moves possible.
I have almost completed 30 days and so far know i have lost at least 4 inches on my waist and about 11lb. I will do a full measurement in about 4 days and record it here.

When I was a little girl, every year I would watch the London marathon with my Dad, and we would say, one day we'll do that.
In 2004 just as I became pregnant with my third child my grandad passed away, and dad decided it was his time to run. He ran for Haven, the people that took care of my grandad in his last days. I wanted so much to run with him, but the baby was due a month before marathon day, there was no way I could.
Come April i sat on the sides feeding a new born cheering my amazing Dad on, and watching him come over the finishing line was so emotion.
Since then my want to run each year has been worse. But reality strikes. I have four home schooled children and a husband that works unsociable hours. I have become quite out of shape. Wishing each year I could do it is unproductive. I need to make a plan.
This is it.
I aim for 2015. If I can do it sooner then great. But that's my Deadline. My eldest is 13 this year. As I get nearer the date I will be able to trust in her to take care of her siblings while I get in at least one jog a day, I can't even do that at this time. But first I have to address my health. This is something my husband and I have both agreed to do. This is not about loosing weight. We want to be more fit, healthy and strong than we have ever been before. We have a long way to go.
We are changing our life, making our interest a productive one. The start has been a good one.
