Well as the title says - I am very proud of myself!

As you all know I have had SPD and hip problems since I fell pregnant which has meant that I have been pretty much unable to exersice in that time. So I have put on some weight, and I was just over a stone too heavy. Which for me is too much and all my clothes were far too tight, I was unfit and unhappy with myself.

So I started Salsa Dancing last week and it was great and I felt so good because I was exhausted afterwards so I knew I'd burnt a few calories.

I have stopped snacking and started to eat healthier (I eat pretty healthy anyway) and I had started to lose weight.

Yesterday after my driving lesson Tony was going fishing for rest of day and I felt bad that Eds and I would be stuck inside again. It was a lovely day so I thought 'what the hell' Pumped my tyres up, put Eds on the back of my bike and cycled the 2 and half miles to my parents, took eds to the park, and had a run around the field with him.

I felt so proud of myself and I feel ok (just a little achey) this morning.

I am now over half way towards my ideal weight and I feel so good. I have had so many compliments about how good I am looking and I feel so much more confident now.

So for all you who are trying to lose weight. Stick at it. I have been aiming to lose this weight for a couple of years and couldnt get it to shift at all, now a bit of will power and I am feeling so proud of myself as I know I can do it now!

Well done Madz!!

I'd love to get back into dancing and maybe even try something new, but I wouldn't know where to start, and Joshua would probably not allow it lol Dancing helped me maintain a fantastic figure and if I could get some of that back I'd be really content. Im thinking of going on a fruit only diet for a few weeks to see if that helps my body kick start pmsl

Keep up the good work and hope you reach your goal quickly and maintain a healthier eating lifestyle xxx

Good on you, Madz, xxx.

I'm getting a rear seat for the bike that Bex never uses so I can cycle up and down to the nursey once the weather gets a bit warmer.
