Set back

I haven't managed to exercise for almost a week. I am having lower spine issues. I am very disappointed and little nervous as to what this might mean. I shall be phoning the doctors surgery in the morning. So will keep my blog updated.

Food

Food.
I have been making recipes from the bbc goodfood website for a couple of months now. You can set the search to what you please. I have been making recipes from a 200-400 calories search, and so far they have all been fab, even enjoyed by the children.
After the first 90 days are up I will be 'eating green' as I call it. I will be sharing info of some of the food when I get there.

Why no weight update.

The reason you won't be seeing many weight updates from me, is that I am not really interested in weight. I will update now and then my loss, as I think some people may be interested, specially those that wish to loose weight and find this blog as help for them. As far as weight goes, by some calculations I am no more that a stone over normal, by other places I am still in the normal group. But by my first picture it's clear that I am caring some unhealthy 'pudge' and I most definitely can not run a mile let alone a marathon. I am also not very hung up on my goal weight wise. When I first started getting bigger (after about my third child) I used to think of when I was small and could eat what ever I pleased, and aim my weight to then. As I have grown in knowledge, needs and wants I know that my goal is in my shape and size. When I was a skinny little thing I was just as incapable at running a marathon, just my pudge didn't get in the way yet
A friend asked me the other day what my goal was. I found this hard to answer. I want to get into the best shape of my life, but I also want a body that shows I am there to be honest, I am still a women after all. I said I guess my goal would be a size 10 waist. My goal is much bigger than that though. I'm not gonna get a size 10 waist and reap the congratulations and well dones then eat cake. I want to change my life so I can eat a piece of cake, not go over board, and not feel guilty. And most importantly, I want to see what I can do with my body.
