Just one foot in front of the other...

Walkies along Champion Lakes.


Whilst this was on of my first walks in a LONG time... I had mixed feelings. I was so disappointed I had only walked 1km. It seemed so little and so trivial. I was sore and tired almost the whole way. I did start to feel a bit better in the last 100m or so. Not sure if that was because I knew I was almost finished or if it was because I'd got into the groove and was ok. Either way, I reached the car and sat down and got that feeling. That accomplishment feeling. That I'm proud of myself feeling. And I lasted almost 20 minutes. Normally, 5 mins and I'm out. I had no choice but to keep going because I had to get back to the car anyways... and I lasted 20 mins. That's HUGE for me! So, to keep myself accountable, I'm going to try to walk every evening with Chris and Bella... and take a different photo each time. Hopefully I start to see some improvement in my fitness and be able to go further each time and in less time! Then, further and longer time. But I suppose I had to start somewhere!




 My new shoes that totally made me walk further ;)

Every journey begins with a single step

It's a scary thought. 100kgs. Minimum. A really scary thought. I can't believe I even let it go on this far or for this long. So I guess it's come down to this. This is my shot. I've resigned up for the Michelle Bridges 12wbt for Round 4.

 I am excited, and a bit scared. Change is a big deal. Sometimes change can be so exciting. Often I can be all for change, and to be honest with you, I am STOKED about the prospect of losing weight. I cannot WAIT to be thinner and healthier. I cannot wait for the day I can say I am pregnant. Or the day I hold my baby in my arms.



Why do I find it so hard? When you think about it, it's really easy to eat right and exercise. So whhhhhyyyyyyy can't I do it? 

I tweeted to Jenna Elfman (one of my all time fave people in the world!) how she gave me courage each day to try my best. This was her reply. 















But I am determined to do it. I'm going to do everything I can to be a Mummy. Hence my blog title. From Massive to Mummy.
