People that have been following my blog for a while might remember my post about trying to lose some weight. It's such a cliche, but since having babies, flab lives in places where it never used to. A friend of mine says that she could make another baby from the spare skin she has after having babies. That's true for me as well. Things have changed. On top of the extra skin (quite literally), I have stretch marks, but I've learnt to live with them. They're not angry and purple anymore, they have faded to a silvery tone and in a way, I'm kind of proud of them. Bodies are amazing, aren't they? Look a how far it can be stretched out:
So anyway, it was time to get rid of the weight that I joyously put on while eating for two. I started around September last year and the first 4kgs or so came off quite easily with some time at the gym. And then it stopped coming off, I lost motivation, it was Christmas, food was good... But I found some motivation again around 6 weeks ago and I have lost 5.5kgs since then (11.5kgs in total). I'm getting back into size 12 clothes, which is really exciting. I'm actually fitting back into clothes that I haven't worn since before I had babies. It's like having a new wardrobe again! It's slow, but it's do-able - I have 9.5kgs to go.
That transformation has been slow, but being the impatient girl that I am, I wanted a new look - fast. So I changed the one thing that I could transform in a couple of hours...
And then I changed it some more...
It's a drastic change, but I needed it - change of season and all that. I'm growing my hair out and being platinum blonde wasn't great for it's condition. So what's new with you?

Wow, that is amazing! How did you do it? I need to lose at least 18kg. Just can't get my weight down. Although...I don't really exercise! Maybe I should start exercising! Well done to all your weight loss!
ReplyDeleteOh it's boring, nothing new and exciting I'm afraid. I eat 6 times a day, but in small amounts. I actually eat my dinner out of a kiddy bowl. No carby stuff at night. Protein with each meal. Lean protein - lots of chicken breast and tuna. Limited amounts of sugar, including fruit. I exercise 6 times a week (3 classes at the gym, 3 walks with the dog).
