Its D Day!!!! 8th January 2007

From the title you may think its got something to do with military operations. Your wrong its much worse!! Its the first day of my diet and guess who's going for a run this evening. Yep you guessed it. Moi!!! Running bloody running its gonna take me forever to get round the flaming base. On the base where we live there is a wire fence that runs the perimeter of the base, at the side of this fence is a bark trail called The Trim Trail. Squaddies run this track, they exercise and use it for physical training in the day so I'll be going after dark-no one is watching my booty wobble! An if I'm honest the booty has grown lately, Christmas doesn't help! Well that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Since giving birth the most strenuous thing I've done is change nappies and warm up bottles. Oh and drink diet coke and smoke fags!!!
I'm trying to convince myself that its gonna be easy for me to turn my body around. I've decided to time myself and run every other day. If I'm honest though I'm shitting it, i don't want to admit to myself how unfit i really am. The diet side of my lifestyle change isn't too hard for me, don't get me wrong i love man dinners and would eat potato salad and coleslaw with everything if i could! A good friend of mine Katy gave me a weight watchers CD ages ago and that makes dieting easier for me. Food for the day is graded by points and i have an allowance of 20 per day. I can still eat food i enjoy and don't have to boil cabbages and drink the juice, you do have to cut back though. Also I Find losing weight harder since i had my little girl so I've got do the exercise a lot more now!! My weight now is more than its ever been and i am determined to lose something, even if it is my sanity! Before baby it always helped me to have a diet buddy and that was always Katy. We really helped each other out with food points and kept each other going to the gym. I miss that part of my old life. I miss my friends and support from people.
I'm gonna break the rules now girls. I'm sorry but i feel if i say what my weight is now in a weeks time I'd have worked harder to lose weight and i can tell you all how much I've lost. I now weigh an awful 11st 5lbs!! My god that felt better than i thought it would. I'm not as self conscious as i expected to be!! Just watch this space! I'll show ya!!!
