I am a brand new blogger! Amy may have motivated me to start this site - but I couldn't figure out how to use it - so here it is (was) - blank!
Now I have just joined Michelle Bridges 12 week body transformation online training program - and what's on there? People blogging! People, like me, who have been finding it very therapeutic to 'get it out there'! So here I am - finally figuring out how to do my first blog!
I have worked out I need to lose about 54kg - that would be about the same weight as my 18 year old daughter! So here we go - goodbye baby! My one precious child is enough :) I also rediscovered tickers the other day - so will try to figure out how to put them on this site... gee, I am getting smart (well, we'll see if it appears!)
We are in the preliminary stages of the 12wbt - cleaning out my kitchen, setting goals and organising ourselves for Michelle's 1200 cal menu in conjunction with six days of training! Can I do this? One of my excuses - my study, is finishing in 3 weeks - so this is good. No excuses time wise - I will be done!! Well, hopefully I'll pass!
I am not sure really what to put here. My struggles, my confessions? My highs and my losses! I am just kind of looking forward to being me again. I think I lost myself a long time ago - I gave up on who I was and settled for Wild Turkey. Drifting into a nice alcoholic coma every day. Ah yes, relaxation, a well deserved drink - EVERYDAY! NB will try to do an alcohol free ticker tracker thing too! 5 days sober!
I have developed some serious health issues because of my drinking - it caused my weight gain. This led to complications I don't know if I am sure I am ready to share yet. However it has emotionally damaged me, even though I am a highly competent and a well liked person I have very low self esteem, and probably more damaging is my self worth.
For the last 15 months I have been seeing a very talented healer. I have gained so much of that self worth back. And I am now finally ready to tackle this body! My head has been in such a dark place - always thinking that the next 'material' thing will set me right! Ha delusional! I even, quite recently decided lap band surgery was the only way out! Sorry folk's - you can still get pissed with one of those things - and no pizza EVER! nup sorry! Got to go back to basics... calorie in and energy out.
So - here I go... posting - blogging away!!!
Hey Mel! Welcome to blogland! You will figure it all out, but by the look of it you are doing great already! Ive been blogging for awhile, but this is my first weightloss/diet blog so feel free to check it out. Basically its just a great way to get it all out there and check out other peoples blogs and see that we are not alone in this battle! Looking forward to seeing your progress!
