Sadly I feel this was due to not having enough confidence and not really accepting or loving who I am. I am coming to a point in my life where i am accepting the skin i am in. This is who I am and Im going to walk around with my head held high.
I signed up for channel 10's 1 million kilo challenge. The 1 Million Kilo Challenge will run for 10 weeks (starting Monday 30th January) and will promote healthy eating, exercise and happier lifestyles for eveyone that joins.
The challenge will help keep you motivated with FREE health & nutrition advice, exercise and menu plans complete with recipes and videos, plus tools and trackers to keep you on track.
It is day 3 and i am feeling great! I am eating 3 meals a day, whereas before i would wait until i am starving then attack the pantry and fridge and stuff my face with junk as it was quick and readily available. I am exercising which has definitely increased my energy levels, and is a fun way to play and spend some time with Vomitron.
And more important than ever I am HAPPY! I really don't care if i loose any weight, im just happy to have gotten myself out of the rut i was so deeply stuck in. You are probably yawning right now at my pointless blog post but i hope in someway or another I help or inspire you to get yourself moving and take control of your life and health, grab the opportunity now with two hands before it slips away.
We baked some muffins from the challenge which were scrumptious everyone has enjoyed them especially vomitron. I will leave you with the recipe and if you make them please post some photos up.
