THE MARATHON TO A NEW ME

Let the challenge begin.  Daylight savings has just switched over and I don’t know what it is – but my 8 year old who usually sleeps easily through the night woke up from 3am and stayed awake till about 5.30….annoying doesn’t even begin to cut it as he kept calling out.

So here we are at 5.54am….he’s fast asleep and i’m shattered.
How am I feeling this morning – bloated!!
I had my last dinner last night which involved chinese and now I am about to begin my attack on a healthy lifestyle.
Today involves day 1 of Rapid Fitness philosophy – the fast.  This involves basically eating nothing and clearing your body of all the rubbish that has been going in.  So from now till tomorrow breakfast I will be sipping on lemon water and that is it!

Bring on day 1 and getting rid of the toxins that are currently in my body.

Well I’m currently sitting here wanting to throw up…..I have eaten way too much today – this has consisted of leftovers from last nights takeways, some carrot cake that was given to me and to top it all off some chocolate…..yes I know, you feel sick at the thought of eating all that too.

Hi, my name is Anna and I am a 32 year old single mumma of a 8 year old boy.  I’m a teacher and currently working on my post grad at uni.  I live a chaotic life and do pretty well in most avenues except when it comes to food…..why is it that I can do so well at most things, yet the one things that should be relatively easy to control, is so bloody tough!

I am writing this blog as for the next 6 weeks of my life I am going to make myself accountable.  Every day I am going to be writing in here, accounting for everything I put in my body, how I am feeling and of course the exercise that I am doing.

I currently am the heaviest i’ve ever been in my life – sitting at approximately 77 kgs.  The thought of that number makes me feel sick as about a year ago I was 67kgs and happy  As Rachel Smalley would put it – i’m a heifer or a “lardo”….I’m a big one for fad diets and i’m useless at consistency.  Self-sabotage would be my second middle name as, as soon as i’m doing well – all of a sudden I think I can start eating a few treats – ding dong – alarm bells should be ringing in my head but they don’t.

So here it is…..I am going to go straight paleo for the next 6 weeks.  I am going to have to give up my vices of wine and diet coke….as well as sugar.  I am so sick of being this weight and I know that I am going to do this!  Well i’m trying to convince myself anyway…positive thinking  Here are some recent before photos….gosh I can’t wait to take some progress ones in 6 weeks time.
