My weight loss story begins

As promised it’s now time to write a little bit about my weight loss since January.

I had a plan to start write about this and update daily but due to being insanely busy not only with the kids but also with school and work I just felt like I didn’t have the time to start up a new blog as well. But now I’ve started a new course and handed in my latest exam so I’ve finally got some free times in the evening to write again which is a nice feeling as its very relaxing for me. But I’d like to go back a little bit as well first so you get a picture of me.




2008 in January I started the same journey weighing 92 kg and being rather unhappy with myself and as someone about to graduate college and start a new chapter in my life i decided to get a grip of myself as I’ve always been an active person with swimming but since quitting swimming due to an injury I felt a bit lost and gained a lot of weight quickly as i ate the same and had a little bit too much of a love for sweets as well. So i started a journey where i started walking and later on jogged ate good food as my family does but instead of school lunches i ate different salads. Which worked for me on my graduation on the 6th of June I weighed round 75 kg and was feeling really good kept on running and loving life.  I left for England to work as an au pair for a year and during that year I did lots of fun runs like a really fun 5 km run my host mum was an elite runner so we got to go in to the elite tent which was really fun and good food after and I also entered the insanely fun race called the grim run in December 2008 it was based on an army training ground so meant a lot of mud and a lot of water but it was so much fun I have never laughed so much whilst trying to run a quarter of a marathon.

 

And after all that I went to Brighton where I was meant to keep in training and did for a while but after a few years I got my son 2012 and I kind of lost it all and it just went on same when I got my daughter I gained a lot both pregnancies and they were very hard mentally due to complications plus I got really bad pain with my daughter so got really down from everything. After everything was back up on round 92kg and was not happy with myself and so I decided to get a grip and dig myself out of that big hole again and just go for it. I stopped eating junk like sweets and to biscuits and counting calories so I could keep an eye on myself. I tried jogging but weighing 92 kg its hard work so I decided to walk everywhere no busses just walk unless I had the kids with me. We haven’t got a car so not taking the car and walk is easy but with a bus stop close to our home its very convenient to be lazy and take the bus. But I don’t take the bus I walk to school half hour each way and the same to work. My plan is to start jogging home from school as well soon just got to find a good rug sack to run with.

 

I got myself a Fitbit in January as well and it’s so fun to have that little extra to motivate you competing with my friends who can take the most steps in a day or do those five different exercises a week.

 

It’s not been that easy up until now but I’ve lost weight and I’ve managed to keep up with my healthy living. I don’t cut anything out but I only eat the junk when it’s a special occasion like going to a birthday party and even then I don’t take half as much as I used to do. So it’s the little things that makes it. My plan is to start jog soon as I’ve not lost a bit of weight I can feel that on my clothes so new wardrobe to the summer is my goal.




My start weight was 92 and yesterday I weighed myself and the scale landed on 82.9 so I’m really happy about that I’ve got a long way to go but I’ve started at least.

Writing about this is something I do to keep myself motivated but if you want to read it I’m happy if I can inspire you to do something you want with your life.
