I won't tell you what I eat everyday, but today I had Special K with semi-skimmed milk for breakfast, tuna and light mayonnaise pasta for lunch and two chicken drumsticks with rice for tea.
Snack wise I had some dried strawberries and a yoghurt. If you have any tips for me and eating healthily I'd love to hear them!
Moving forwards and I will be adding more fruit and vegetables to my diet.
Spin Class
I'm all ready for my first spin class on Monday! I'm both excited and nervous!
If you're following me on Twitter (@mummysretreat1) you may have already seen this photo.
My husband bought me a pair of Adidas Galaxy EliIte trainers, Nike Dri Fit Leggings and a gym bag for my birthday as well as some other presents.
I just need to buy a good sports bra and top for the gym too.
Starting Weight
My starting weight is 10st12. Eek!
My target weight is 9st7.
Here I am.
Bleurgh!
I can't believe I've just put that picture on here!
Hopefully though in a few months time it will be good to look back on to measure my progress.
I'd like to lose weight, tone my tummy and arms too. I'd also like to tone my legs up a bit too.
The Plan
Initially my first goal is weight loss. This will then be followed with toning up.
I'm going to try a range of different classes from spin, kettle bell, circuits and more to legs, bums and tums!
My final aim is to start running too! I'd like to run 5k without feeling like I'm on my last legs!
One book a month goal
I've started reading my book for this month which is 'The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out Of The Windoe And Disappeared'.
I'm really enjoying it so far!
It's about a man called Allen who lives in an old peoples home.
He's sat in his room waiting to be collected for his one hundredth birthday party.
Allen has other plans though and as the title suggests he climbs out of the window and makes his escape!
I'm on chapter four now and I've really not been able to put this book down!
So far Allen has turned out to be quite a mischievous man! Aside from escaping from the old peoples home, he's also stolen someone's suitcase and hopped on a bus to a place he's never been before with no idea where he'll be spending the night!
I'm intrigued as to what's inside the suitcase and I don't think it'll be long before I find out!
Diary Writing
In a recent post on my other blog I explained that I would be starting a diary this year so that I can write in it every day about our family life.
I chose a diary I liked (from Paperchase) and my sister bought it for me for our birthday.
The idea is that should anything happen to me (touch wood) my girls will have something to look back on when they're older and not just photos. Although I do have a lot of photos!
So that's my progress for now!
I have also seen that my local NCT group is holding baby and child first courses in my area in March so I'll be signing up for that too.
