I'm getting there!

I weighed myself this morning and I am 2lbs away from my pre pregnancy weight and although I still have a long way to go before pre baby weight of my first, I can see it happening!

I haven't started insanity as I had previously mentioned because my son doesn't sleep well and I just don't feel that it's the right time. I have started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred though and today will be day two. I have also been doing weights at home and getting to the gym when work and tiredness allows me to.

I really feel great today, I had hit a sort of plateau but I do believe it was due to not eating enough. I hadn't been logging my calories and when I did , I realised tht I was only eating about 900 calories and that can be dangerous as well as mess with your metabolism and body. Food is good, bad association with it can cause all sorts of issues. 

I will post some progress pictures as well, I want to get a true representation of what I look like now and show you how my skin is quite wobbly and how things like te shred and couch to 5k can change that and help tighten up.

So that's all for now and I hope to continue with this blog, posting more than I have in the past. Two kids, work etc is pretty tiring so forgive me for lack of updates!

I've Been Busy!

For anyone who is taking the time to read my blog, you'll know that I haven't posted in a few weeks. I have a reason for that which is I have been helping with a friends business adn I have returned to work after maternity leave.  I cant quite believe that 11 months has passed but at least in my job, I still have ok hours (apart from night shift), and I don't start my shifts until 4pm.

So, some big news.. I have LOST 6lbs!!! I'm so excited especially as I haven't been to the gym in a week due to shifts being at night and just being tired from starting work again. However, I have found my weights and I will be making sure that I do some on the nights that I can't get out.I have found that using the My fitness Pal App, to be useful and I have been making much better and informed choices when it comes to my food intake.

I really hope to lose another 8 by christmas and then I would be close to a size 12, than a 14:)) I have a wedding this week in Dublin and I bought a size 14 dress. I am over the moon delirious and it just goes to show you that eating healthy and educating yourself on what foods are better for you , can really have a positive effect on how you look and feel. There was one time when seeing the results of a friends dieting where you have to fast for 2 days of the week, that I was almost tempted to follow suit but I was true to my instincts and stuck with healthy eating instead!

How are you all gettiing on with your healthy eating and weight loss so far?
