On a happier note I have reached my three stone target at slimming world, over the moon but still need to keep plodding on at this rate I will waste away with anxiety and stress.

I found the before picture the other night and was in shock its amazing how comfortable you feel with yourself but then you see a photo and then realise something had to change. I had put on six stone whilst pregnant and left the hospital in a bit of a state, most of it was down to water retention but I also went into Kidney failure whilst in labour and nobody knew so for 3 days I spent bed bound in agony and nobody had a clue "I was in labour and labour is like this so you have to get on with it" I couldn't bend my legs or lift myself off the bed I was a mess. In April 2011 I joined Slimming world I managed to shift the 2 stone in fluid retention before hand, so the 3 stone is purely by following the slimming world plan. A few weeks back I started roller skating so this should help me get back to my ideal weight. Today I skated with Eason in the pushchair oh this was so much fun, you should of seen the faces people cheered me on and some people even said they wouldn't mind doing the same. I might have to look into starting a little group meet for mothers and father's who want to keep fit and socialise.

We had a spontaneous picnic today we usually do this so we headed to M&S and over indulged, hopefully the sun will be back out tomorrow I am raring to go out on my skates again. The garden is coming on nicely I still have a second coat to complete on the fence but I am debating whether to paint the decking pink. I have decided against the chalk paint as I think it will be too delicate to use as outside decking paint. Hope to update you very soon, my bed is calling.

DeleteWell done on your 3 stone loss, I put on around 5 stone with my first baby and still have some of it to lose (he's 16!) I do remember the sleep problems and sympathise, you just have to persevere. We now have trouble getting them to go to bed at all, (or get up before lunchtime!)

Hi Tracy, wow!! Well done, know it's not easy, I've lost 24lbs at ww, another stone to go. You look great now, and wish I could skate! Lack of sleep horrendous, my first slept for England, the others never slept at all, or it felt like that! Have a fabulous weekend,
ReplyDeleteLove Claire xx
Thank you Claire its not easy but if you are in the swing of things and plan ahead it becomes second nature. Hes in a toddler bed things seem to better. x
DeleteHello honey~ Well, you look fabulous! Keep up the amazing good work! Oh, I used to adore roller skating. I remember for my son I would turn on the dryer for some white noise and pat his little bottom until he went to sleep or we would watch winnie the pooh and I would rock him in the recliner. You are a good mommy...hang in there. Pretty soon he will be grown... my little guy is ten years old now. I simply adore your blog! I look forward to my visits with you!
